so the SEC doesnt do this? we are about to get the smack down from the NCAA then. banned for life from the bcs or some garbage like that

This has been going on for a couple of years and announced over several media outlets. Where have you been? If this was going to be an issue it would have already reared it's head. Did you read the part about educational purposes? Many universities give laptops to their entire student body. That means every single undergraduate gets a computer.

There's no probably about it. An iPad might be cheaper than a semester's worth of textbooks, depending on your courseload.

Might be? There is no doubt about it. The ipad is cheaper then one semester, and much cheaper than a full college tenure of textbooks.

Except for one small detail. You still have to pay for the textbooks to access them on an iPad.

Yeah, but the digital copy is always cheaper than the hard copy.

Per WillyWolverine's suggestion, I started this thread so that we could have a list of all the confirmed visitors.
As new names emerge, I'll add them to the OP.
I'll break it down by class (2013/2014).
2013
Shane Morris
Laquon Treadwell
Derrick Green (?)
2014
Clifton Garrett
Parker Westphal
Michael Ferns

You can confirm Green. I thought there was another 2014 kid too.

Hi, Can someone tell me what exactly is the BBQ at the bighouse and generally what happens during the event. And what this does for the university and how it helps our recruiting class. I'm from Seattle, WA......just curious what happens at this event...

Its an event that the coaches hold to allow mostly commits and key targets to attend so that they can get to know the program and the coaches more. The coaches invite their own families and recruits are encouraged to do the same. Its not so much a large recruiting event like a "junior day" as thats not the intention of the coaches. They really want to focus on individuals and build relationships with them and allow recruits to get to know one another.

Keep in mind, RR wouldn't have played Denard if Tate Forcier wasn't all Tate Forcier-ish.

What? There was an open competition, and Denard beat out Tate. It wasn't a case of Tate doing stupid stuff; he started doing that more after he lost the starting job. RR even played Denard in spurts during his freshman season despite the fact that he did not completely understand the playbook yet. By the time spring ball rolled around, Denard had it down pat and won the job.

If anything I think RR was looking for any excuse to play Denard over Tate.

Eh, Tate was a mess for most of the summer leading up to the '10 season. He, Austin White and Jerald Robinson were quite the trio on campus. Missed several "voluntary" workouts and barely stayed eligible. Tate almost flunked his summer classes. That's why RR was forced to go with Gardner as the backup.

^^ you sir are correct. If Tate hadn't been so immature and done what most players do he would have started. I'm not saying that denard wouldn't have played. Remember he had his wings stripped from his helmet, that's pretty bad.
