Campus Confidential

We're fast approaching Signing Day and the Giants just don't want me to get involved up to my eyes, like I was last year.

But here's some of the latest.

-- Terrelle Pryor: The nation's top prospect will likely end up at Ohio State. An AP story came out today talking about how he doesn't fully understand the depth of the Michigan and Ohio State rivalry -- two of his finalists. We talked about this not too long ago (Memory Lane). I thought Rich Rodriguez was going to reel in his QB of the future right away, but part of me feels like all the drama with RichRod could have turned him off. With Charlie Batch advising him throughout the process, anything is possible. But it's less likely he's going to make irrational decisions, like many 17-year olds do this time of year.

-- Julio Jones: I think he'll sign with Nick Saban when it's all said and done, but my Florida State guy thinks the 'Noles have a great chance. With Saban being the salesman he is and Jones being an Alabama prep product, it just makes sense. The Tide need a homerun hitter like Jones, at 6'4, 215 lbs., he'd be the perfect target for Star Jackson, the QB of the future in Tuscaloosa. I watched some film of Jones and his breakaway speed is incredible. He can break away from just about anyone after five steps. Speaking of the Noles, we'll catch up with them soon.

-- North Carolina: This is Butch Davis' second go-round at the recruiting gig in Chapel Hill and he has a decent class. It's tough, because he pulled in such a fantastic class last year. But as far as needs go, Davis should be pleased if he can finish with several defensive line prospects. Dwight Jones -- who verballed last year and prepped for a year -- and Jamal Womble have the chance to come in and punch up the Tar Heel offense right away.

-- Virginia Tech, Auburn & Minnesota: Each will have other 30 verbals by the end of the recruiting season and each have a fantastic core of guys. Definitely three major winners come signing day.

Back to Giants. We'll be talking more before and on Wednesday.

And, it's not related, but go out and vote if you can on Tuesday. I'm joining the Vote or Die movement.
