Gotta love those 5 star recruits making it to the top of the NFL.

Oh, yes, Rivals and Scout were obviously very accurate at foreseeing the potential those four players had.

I'm feeling a little tired and lazy right now, so I don't think I'll be doing defense.

Had Rivals been around when Culpepper was a HS'er, he would've been a high 4-star, if not 5. Landing him was a major coup.

Mostly talking about Sitton. Watched him today. Funny.., he looks fat and slow with a big belly, but looks are so deceiving. Often moved his man to the side on running plays and sealed them away from the ball carrier. On pass plays, the defensive tackle just kept getting locked up and couldn't get around him. Just great technique, balance and and such a quick first step out of his stance. We should all be proud he was a Knight and will always be given credit for Kevin Smiths success in 2007.

Absolutely. I have Sitton's autograph on a UCF poster from a few years ago. He's the man.
