Recruiting
Defensive end Myles Hilliard of Beford, Ohio, commits to play ...
Myles Hilliard leaves Pitt, picks Orange
He comes on at 1:43
Here's Myles on TV show about concussions as a sophomore
He mentions us back in June of 2011
Junior Gnonkonde pledges to UNC
This alleges GT's Paul Johnson went back on his word with Junior Gnonkonde
Especially since we discovered this year just how fluid it can be on the Georgia Tech side when they cut loose the first kid who committed to them almost a year ago. He followed your steps Paul Johnson. Junior Gnonkonde shut down his recruiting, even when big fish came calling as his star grew brighter. He didn't take the calls. He didn't go on any visits but your's in Dodd and he held true to what you asked. He took care of his end of the bargain. Then January rolls around and you've got to cut him loose? Over grades?
A grade situation that, as we've seen all over college football, is pretty fluid in and of itself. Prep schools exist for kids to ensure their qualifications while remaining committed to the school they chose. As Gnonkonde's coach says, he was signed up to retake the ACT to improve the test scores. The kid took care of them, aren't they supposed to take care of him? No? Admissions reportedly said no and so Gnonkonde, thanks to CPJ's decision, is now headed to UNC after visiting the Heels over the weekend. Sporting offers from Wake Forest to go with South Carolina, Syracuse, Central Florida amongst others has to make you wonder what actually happened behind the scenes because Wake doesn't exactly just let anyone into school.

QB Paxton Lynch makes a decision
SMELL OF SUCCESS
Syracuse backup QB Terrel Hunt was arrested on petty larceny charges for stealing a $44 bottle of cologne. Apparently Hunt thought he needed to have a better fragrance in the huddle in order to win the starting job this fall.

For the Bills, in addition to Lee, former Syracuse University tight end/offensive lineman Andrew Dees will be the assistant offensive line coach in place of Bobby Johnson who left to join the Jacksonville Jaguars. Inge, Dees and Thatcher will all be in their first years in the NFL.
Dees played college football at Syracuse during the glory years from 1988-91 when the Orange routinely were playing in major bowls.
He played two years in the NFL with Cincinnati and Seattle, then moved into coaching, first at the high school level and later in college at Stony Brook, UB, Temple and Massachusetts.

10. Donovan McNabb, Eagles (Super Bowl XXXIX): McNabb didn't receive a lot of recognition for his lone Super Bowl start, but his final stat line was solid. Though he did throw three interceptions in the 24-21 loss to the Patriots, McNabb finished with 357 yards, three touchdowns and 26.3 fantasy points. He threw touchdown passes to Brian Westbrook, Greg Lewis and L.J. Smith.
