NCAA Football
2016 Early Enrollees Expected to Make a Splash in Spring Practice
For some incoming freshmen, college football season starts now.
Those who enrolled early have already (in most cases) joined the program and are undergoing winter workouts. Workouts will turn to spring practice in March and April, giving fresh-out-of-high school players a chance to compete for starting jobs.
Some of those players will make stronger cases than others. That's what this list hopes to target. It's not just the highest-ranked early enrollees such as Ole Miss quarterback Shea Patterson; it's the highest-ranked early enrollees expected to compete to start immediately.
That, after all, is the splash most of these teams are hoping for.
SEC Reportedly Looks to Block Michigan from Holding Spring Practice in Florida
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said Tuesday the conference has petitioned the NCAA to block Michigan from holding spring practices in Florida.
"Our primary reaction [is] that, in the face of the time-demand conversations, we've got one program taking what has been 'free time' away," Sankey said, per Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com. "Let's draw a line and say, 'That's not appropriate.'"
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh announced last week he plans for the Wolverines to practice at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, from Feb. 27 to March 6.

Who Are the Most Valuable Offensive Coordinators in College Football?
Peyton Manning's (likely) final rodeo and ride off into the sunset during Super Bowl 50 received most of the attention on Sunday following the Denver Broncos' 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers, but there was one storyline that proved to be key to the final outcome of the game: that of victorious defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
The longtime coach capped off a weekend in which he was named NFL Assistant of the Year by putting together one of the most impressive defensive performances of any Super Bowl and was finally able to savor the sweet, sweet moment of holding up the Lombardi Trophy.
While players like Von Miller and T.J. Ward were the ones who made the plays when they counted against the Panthers, it was Phillips' game plan that might have been the most impressive effort of Denver's run to a title.
That got us to thinking: With Phillips playing such a key role for a Super Bowl winner, who in college football might be considered the most valuable defensive coordinator? Likewise, who takes the honors on the offensive side of the ball?
With most hires already in the books and offseasons getting ready to take the next step with spring football, it seems like the perfect time to scan the landscape and see who has a Phillips-like impact on their teams as quality coordinators. You can find the defensive list here, while the most valuable offensive coordinators are discussed below.
Lane Kiffin, Alabama
Is Kiffin the most polarizing offensive coordinator in the country? Absolutely, there's little doubt about that.
Still, there are few better when it comes serving as a coordinator, and it speaks volumes that Nick Saban entrusts that side of the ball to the still-young coach.
Kiffin's reputation may have been initially built off the backs of Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush, but some of his best work has been done lately in the SEC. At Alabama, he's developed two different first-time starting quarterbacks into quality players and churned out a Heisman Trophy winner at running back, Derrick Henry.
Just as impressive has been his overall ability to bring the Tide into the modern game with his installation of uptempo spread-offense concepts.
The persona Kiffin developed at Tennessee has colored much of how he's viewed in the college football world, but when you look past that, you see a top-notch OC who has proved to be an equally good recruiter.
Bill Legg, Marshall
Legg doesn't receive the attention that some of his other Power Five peers do but nevertheless has produced some of the most prolific offenses in the country during his time at Marshall, and even before that.
His best work was done in bringing along quarterback Rakeem Cato and wideout Tommy Shuler a few seasons ago and turning the two into one of the most productive duos in NCAA history.
Legg has led the Thundering Herd to top marks in a number of top offensive categories, both nationally and in Conference USA, during his tenure. Before that, he was co-coordinator on several successful Purdue squads that were some of the best teams in Boilermakers history this side of Drew Brees.
The West Virginia native (and former Mountaineer) has spent the bulk of his career in his home state and along the Eastern Seaboard but has been mentioned for bigger jobs over the years thanks to a quality resume.
Doug Meacham and Sonny Cumbie, TCU
There may be no hotter names for athletic directors or other head coaches in need of a new offensive coordinator than the dynamic duo in charge of Gary Patterson's offense. Each has been mentioned quite a bit this offseason for other jobs, but both have chosen to stay in Fort Worth to try to bring a Big 12 title to TCU.
The elder of the two, Meacham has found success at just about every stop. He's served as an OC or co-coordinator at six schools and was part of several other record-setting offenses at Oklahoma State (where he was also a player). A veteran receiving coach when not calling plays, he's tutored a number of standouts from Brandon Pettigrew to Josh Doctson.
As a former Texas Tech quarterback, few know the Air Raid offense as well as Cumbie does, considering he led the nation in passing and total offense when he was the signal-caller for the Red Raiders and has carried that over into an impressive coaching career in just a short time frame. He also has experience coaching receivers but has really stood out with his work turning Trevone Boykin into a star quarterback.
Ivin Jasper, Navy
Most college football fans may not have heard Jasper's name until this past offseason, when rumors surfaced that he could take over for Ken Niumatalolo at Navy, but the former Hawaii player has been a big part of the Midshipmen's success over the past few years.
Amazingly, he's going on his 16th year at the Naval Academy and is getting close to a decade as the steady hand and offensive coordinator behind the team's triple-option attack.
Unlike other coaches on this list, Jasper has to deal with a number of restrictions on the players he can recruit and how much time he can spend with them. Still, that hasn't hampered Navy's productivity, as just recently quarterback Keenan Reynolds set numerous NCAA records as the trigger of the offense and the team surged to a national ranking in the polls.
In 2015, the Midshipmen also topped the nine-win plateau for the fourth time in the eight seasons Jasper has been running the offense.
Lincoln Riley, Oklahoma
Riley capped off a remarkable 2015 season by becoming the youngest ever to win the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant. Just 32, he was tapped by Bob Stoops to turn around the Oklahoma offense and did just that in leading the team to the College Football Playoff and making quarterback Baker Mayfield a household name.
As part of their run to the Big 12 title, the Sooners averaged 45 points a game on the season and were borderline unstoppable following a loss to Texas early in the season.
While he's known for installing the Mike Leach blend of the Air Raid attack in Norman, Riley also showed how well he could adapt to his personnel by making OU much more of a power run team behind Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon. In addition, Mayfield became one of the best quarterbacks in the country, and wide receiver Sterling Shepard closed out his record-setting career as a borderline unstoppable player late in the season.
Also highly regarded as a quality recruiter with a keen eye for talent, Riley is a longtime veteran coach in the Big 12, despite his age, and drew plenty of recognition for his work as East Carolina's offensive coordinator.
Mike Sanford, Notre Dame
Brian Kelly has his hands all over the Notre Dame offense, given his background, but few are doubting how big of a role Sanford plays in developing the team's quarterbacks and preparing the team's game plans.
The son of a coach, Sanford has found success at just about every stop and has the distinction of coaching in five straight BCS/CFP bowls in the past five seasons as part of the staff at Stanford, Boise State and Notre Dame.
Prior to coming to South Bend, the former Broncos quarterback helped his alma mater place in the top 25 of most major offensive categories, as the team earned the first Group of Five bid to a major College Football Playoff bowl.
In addition to tutoring Grant Hedrick to a career year, Sanford also directed tailback Jay Ajayi to numerous school and conference records back in 2014. Prior to that, he helped turn Stepfan Taylor into one of the best backs in Stanford history and was chiefly responsible for bringing along Kevin Hogan as Andrew Luck's replacement in 2013.
Sanford's greatest work may have been this past year with the Irish, however, as he helped the team manage and maneuver around some major injuries but still wind up within sniffing distance of a spot in the final four. He was a big reason why quarterback Malik Zaire was drawing national praise prior to his injury and a big part of backup DeShone Kizer's turning into a budding superstar.
As a result, it probably won't be too long before Sanford gets tapped to be a head coach somewhere, just like his father.
Dana Dimel, Kansas State
The Kansas State graduate has been a big part of the offensive success Bill Snyder has had in Manhattan, as evidenced by the fact that Dimel is on his third stint with the team as a coach.
Year after year, the Wildcats have one of the most diverse offenses in the Big 12 despite a lack of top-end recruits, and every season the team has found a way to be competitive against just about everybody. Under Dimel just recently, K-State has set a number of school records and won the Big 12 title, while quarterback Collin Klein was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2012.
Dimel had a solid record as head coach at Wyoming (and a disastrous one at Houston) but has proved to be a top-flight coordinator thanks to his work with the Wildcats. Few are able to do more with less, and the respect he has from his peers in the conference and nationally runs very high.
Tee Martin, USC
Martin was only recently promoted to become USC's offensive coordinator, but he's had a hand in just about everything the Trojans have done offensively since arriving on the West Coast in 2012.
A former national championship-winning quarterback at Tennessee, he has tutored several wide receivers to national prominence, including Randall Cobb, Marqise Lee and Nelson Agholor.
Martin's work as a recruiter is probably the biggest reason why he earns a place on this list, however. He's been named National or Pac-12 Recruiter of the Year by all four major recruiting services at some point and topped 247Sports' recruiter rankings in 2016 for his work in USC's strong close on national signing day.
In addition to helping land several top players in the Trojans' backyard, Martin also has been responsible for some of the program's biggest wins on the national recruiting trail as well.
When you consider how much turmoil has gone on at USC since Martin arrived, it's pretty notable to see that he's one of the calm, steady hands that has kept the school relevant year after year on the national stage. That's saying quite a bit.

Kyle Allen Comments on Johnny Manziel, Culture at Texas A&M
Kyle Allen opened up Tuesday regarding his transfer from Texas A&M to Houston in an interview with CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd.
Allen argued the atmosphere around the program isn't conducive to success, citing Johnny Manziel's rise to prominence as creating systemic issues:
I think the culture was a big part of it, and I think that stems from Johnny's era there—the way that they let Johnny and [others] act there. They [could] do that and still win games because they had Johnny … and five offensive linemen playing in the NFL right now.
A lot of people were riding off that, "I can do whatever the hell I want and win on Saturday."
On paper, Allen should've thrived in College Station. He was the No. 1 pro-style quarterback in the 2014 recruiting class, per 247Sports' composite rankings. Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin was also successful in developing both Manziel and former Cougars quarterback Case Keenum in his first head-coaching job.
Instead, Allen struggled somewhat, throwing for 3,532 yards, 33 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in his two years at A&M. The Aggies also posted an 8-5 record in each of those seasons.
He doesn't specifically criticize Sumlin, but he paints the picture of a head coach unable to get the most out of his players.
"Everyone wasn't in a straight line. Everyone was going this way, this way, this way," Allen said. "We had a ton of talent there. I think that, once you get all the right coaches there and get the vision right, you can do a lot of things."
Joe Buettner of the Dallas Morning News posited the arrival of graduate transfer Trevor Knight might help in part solve the problem:
Sumlin has seemingly attracted the requisite recruits necessary to turn A&M into a perennial SEC contender. According to 247Sports' team composite ranking, his recruiting classes finished No. 11 nationally in 2015, No. 5 in 2014, No. 9 in 2013 and No. 16 in 2012.
The last two years have put Sumlin under the microscope, though, after the Aggies failed to build on the success of the Manziel era. The departure of offensive coordinator Jake Spavital will only put more pressure on Sumlin, too, since he'll have one less person on whom to deflect blame should things go wrong.
Whether serious issues exist behind the scenes or not, the head coach heads into the 2016 season on the hot seat, and Allen's comments will do little to help matters. If Texas A&M finishes with eight or nine wins next year, it's possible Sumlin could be out of a job.

CFB Players Who Could Be Beaten Out by Freshmen for Starting Jobs in 2016
For every star football recruit who is able to crack the starting lineup in his first collegiate season, there are usually older players who weren't able to stay in front.
Sometimes a true freshman starter immediately steps into a situation where there is a hole on the depth chart thanks to a departed player. These recruits know when they sign they could fill a role left by a graduate or NFL-bound playmaker.
However, some new freshmen are able to beat out players who held starting jobs in previous seasons. Because of the nature of constant competition that a lot of coaches like to bring to spring and fall practices, blue-chip recruits have been able to snag playing time over established veterans.
Here are several returning starters in college football who could—that's a key word, considering these are early projections—lose their coveted jobs to true freshmen in 2016. Whether it's because of a change in coaching staff or scheme, or the outstanding potential of the newcomer, these players will face big-time position battles this offseason.
Tell us who else you think could be on their way out of a starting job in 2016 thanks to an incoming recruit in the comments below.
Most Indispensable Assistant Coaches in College Football for 2016
Have you ever noticed that, after national signing day, a quick surge of assistant coaching hirings are made? Head coaches get all the credit (and blame), but a great staff of assistant coaches goes a long way as well. And it can be a cut-throat business trying to put it together.
In reality, no coach is every truly irreplaceable—they come and go all the time—but there are many who are critical to a program's success. These are college football's indispensable assistant coaches. In the follow slides are assistants who excel in at least one of the following areas: recruiting, on-field results (i.e. stats) and longevity/loyalty (in other words, if they've been with the same coach for years).
By rule, we're eliminating assistant coaches entering their first full year with their new program since their value with that particular team has yet to be determined. For example: LSU's new defensive coordinator, Dave Aranda, isn't eligible because he just switched jobs. However, given what Wisconsin accomplished defensively over the past few years, Aranda would seem like a natural choice.
So check out our list of the most indispensable coaches. Have one of your own? Make your case in the comment section below.
What Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin Must Do to Save His Job in 2016
If you see Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin squirming a little bit while sitting down this offseason, don't be alarmed.
He's just trying to look and remain calm while sitting on the hottest seat in the country.
Sumlin's Aggies have fallen off the SEC radar after he and former quarterback Johnny Manziel burst onto the scene in 2012—the program's first season in the conference.
Since winning the Cotton Bowl after that season, they've regressed to a point where they're rarely thought of in the SEC West race and have become noted for inconsistent defense and an ongoing quarterback carousel rather than contending.
The culture of the program was even brought into question by former quarterback Kyle Allen in an interview with CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd. Allen and fellow 5-star quarterback Kyler Murray both transferred from the program in December.
As ESPN's Chris Low noted on Sports Talk With Bo, a statewide syndicated radio show in Arkansas, Sumlin can't continue along this trajectory.
Low: If Kevin Sumlin has another year similar to the last two years, it's going to be tough for him to survive. Climate of the SEC West.— Bo Mattingly (@SportsTalkwBo) January 6, 2016
Sumlin has to contend in 2016, and that likely means at least having a shot at the SEC West title when the calendar flips to November.
Does he need to win it?
Of course not.
He just needs to have a legitimate chance in November, and Sumlin should be fine.
Administrators and most fans know that while teams have to be talented and well-coached to win titles, they have to have a little bit of luck, too—which is wildly unpredictable.
It's not like the SEC West is littered with certainty, though.
Alabama has earned the benefit of the doubt in the face of massive roster turnover, but every other team in the division either has massive roster holes to address this offseason or philosophies that need to change in order to be taken seriously.
The thing about this team is that aside from the surprising departures of Allen and Murray, Texas A&M actually has some things going for it that could land it in contention.
Former offensive coordinator Jake Spavital's departure was addition by subtraction, no matter who the replacement was. As I noted during the season, Spavital has overseen three of the four most notable midseason quarterback regressions over the last four seasons and clearly was a problem in College Station.
Not only did Sumlin do the right thing by showing Spavital the door, but he hired Noel Mazzone away from UCLA to replace him. Mazzone teaches a physical offense that is predicated on establishing the run while incorporating many of the same spread elements that have become synonymous with Sumlin and Texas A&M.
He's the perfect coordinator to maintain Texas A&M's offensive identity while making the appropriate tweaks to deal with the day-to-day grind of SEC football.
No quarterback? No problem.
All Sumlin did was sign Oklahoma graduate transfer Trevor Knight to contend with Jake Hubenak, who topped the 300-yard mark in the loss to Louisville in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl.
No, Knight didn't look great against TCU as an injury replacement for Baker Mayfield in 2015 and nearly allowed the Horned Frogs to win a game they had no business being in at halftime. But he is a two-time captain of the Sooners (even when he wasn't the starter), enjoyed success at the top of the college football food chain when he toppled Alabama in the 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl and was the best graduate transfer quarterback on the market.
"You see how certain guys just ooze leadership, and he's all about that," Sumlin said on national signing day, according to the school:
Takes care of his business. Tremendous team guy. Tremendous leadership guy. First thing that strikes me is we got back here and his conversation level is a lot different than an 18-year-old. His ability to rally guys when we are gone and the coaches can't be there … He's already had guys out throwing and catching.
Simply put, Sumlin made the best of a bad situation in the face of massive pressure.
That matters, even though it goes largely unnoticed by the public.
Lost in the shuffle of the quarterback exodus and intra-state rival Texas' dominant national signing day was the fact that Sumlin gets two more big-time transfers in 2016 after they sat out 2015.
Keith Ford is a former 5-star running back for Oklahoma who will provide options and depth in the backfield alongside James White. On the other side of the football, former 4-star corner Priest Willis will join a defensive backfield that includes safety Armani Watts, as well as a front seven that includes stud defensive ends Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall, tackle Daylon Mack and linebacker Otaro Alaka.
"[We were] able to add two really good transfers last year—Priest Williams as a corner who started at UCLA and Keith Ford who was really fine player at Oklahoma," Sumlin said of the newcomers in a press conference on national signing day. "Those guys don't show up on this list, but you add them to this class and you start to see the depth pile up real quick."
Depth is what vaults teams into contention for championships, and Texas A&M actually has that everywhere else other than quarterback.
Sumlin needs to contend to save his job. Even though the last few months have been uncomfortable at best and dicey at worst, he has done a lot to the roster and staff over the last couple of seasons to do just that.

Thomas Sirk Injury: Updates on Duke QB's Recovery from Achilles Surgery
The Duke Blue Devils are facing major injury questions even before their football season begins, as senior quarterback Thomas Sirk suffered an Achilles injury.
Continue for updates.Sirk to Undergo Surgery Tuesday, Feb. 9
According to Stephen Wiseman of the Herald-Sun, Sirk ruptured his Achilles tendon on Tuesday morning and will have surgery to repair the injury.
Laura Keeley of the News & Observer noted it was Sirk's left Achilles tendon and that there is no timetable for his return.
This marks the second time in three years Sirk has suffered this injury, as he previously ruptured his right Achilles during a Duke practice in April 2013. He was a redshirt freshman that season and wound up not playing in any games as the team went 10-4 with Anthony Boone under center.
Sirk played sparingly in garbage time two years ago before taking over as Duke's starting quarterback in 2015.
He was tremendous in 12 games last season, throwing for 2,624 yards, running for 809, recording 24 total touchdowns (16 passing) and leading the program to its first bowl win since 1960 with a 44-41 victory over Indiana in the Pinstripe Bowl.
With Sirk on the sidelines for the the foreseeable future, Duke head coach David Cutcliffe will likely rely on Parker Boehme, who started one game in 2015 and is entering his fourth season with the program as a redshirt junior.
Boehme did gain experience last season, but Sirk proved himself to be a valuable dual-threat option in Cutcliffe's offense. Fortunately, the Blue Devils have time to work with all of their backups so they feel 100 percent comfortable running things if Sirk has to miss substantial time during the season, which starts Sept. 3.

Ohio State's Biggest Spring Position Battle Isn't for a Starting Spot
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Stop me if you've heard this before, but there's a quarterback controversy brewing in Columbus.
OK, don't stop me—it's not the type of signal-caller battle that those who have followed the Ohio State program have become accustomed to in the past year.
While J.T. Barrett is firmly entrenched as the Buckeyes' starting quarterback after spending the better part of the past 12 months competing with Cardale Jones for that right, Ohio State now finds itself with a shortage of experience on what's been its most talked-about position on the depth chart.
A year ago, the Buckeyes didn't only seem poised to have the best backup quarterback in the country, but the most talented third-stringer as well, before Braxton Miller made his offseason move to wide receiver.
Now? There's Barrett at the front of the line—that's no longer up for debate. But behind the Fiesta Bowl MVP sits nothing but unknown commodities, even for as well as head coach Urban Meyer has recruited since arriving to Columbus.
The battle for Ohio State's backup quarterback job won't only be important for the future, giving the winner the inside track to replacing Barrett as the Buckeyes' starter—something that could occur as soon as 2017—but for the upcoming season as well.
After all, if there's one program that understands the value of a backup quarterback, it's the one that won a national championship just a year ago with its third-string signal-caller.
With two scholarship quarterbacks behind Barrett on campus and a third on his way for the fall, the fight to serve as Ohio State's top understudy will begin as soon as this spring. At the moment, there is no clear-cut favorite to become Barrett's primary backup, but Meyer will have no shortage of options to evaluate this offseason.
Stephen Collier
If experience is of any sort of importance in the Buckeyes' backup quarterback race, then Stephen Collier would seem to have a slight edge—although not necessarily as big of one as you'd think. Of the three quarterbacks vying for Ohio State's No. 2 signal-caller role, Collier is the only one to have taken an official snap in his college career, with the 6'4", 225-pounder receiving sporadic mop-up duty in 2015.
But while one would think that alone would give Collier an advantage heading into spring practice, Meyer curiously failed to mention the former 3-star prospect while discussing his team's quarterback situation during a signing day appearance on his radio call-in show.
"This is a critical spring for him," Meyer later said at his signing day press conference. "This is the time for him to produce. He works his tail off. To get in the mix you've got to be pretty good."
The reality is that Collier has always been a long shot to be a long-term solution for the Buckeyes at quarterback, an under-recruited player who arrived at Ohio State after Meyer missed on Deshaun Watson, Kyle Allen and Brandon Harris during the 2014 recruiting cycle.
It's likely not a coincidence that the Buckeyes reportedly got back in the Allen sweepstakes this offseason after he announced his intentions to transfer from Texas A&M before ultimately landing at Houston with former OSU offensive coordinator Tom Herman.
A native of Leesburg, Georgia, Collier's ceiling always seemed to be that of former Ohio State signal-caller Kenny Guiton, who turned into a viable backup for Braxton Miller in the final two seasons of his five-year college career.
Ultimately, that's what Collier could find himself as this season: Barrett's backup in title, but a major question mark should significant playing time be needed from the Buckeyes' understudy. Much of where Collier goes from now will be determined this spring, perhaps making him the biggest wild card in this offseason battle.
Joe Burrow
While Collier may have experience—no matter how limited—on his side, it's redshirt freshman Joe Burrow who appears to be Meyer's favorite to secure Ohio State's No. 2 quarterback.
The fifth-year Buckeyes head coach said as much during his signing day call-in show, anointing Burrow as Barrett's backup in the same answer in which he omitted Collier.
"Joe Burrow's really moving," Meyer said.
A former 4-star prospect by way of The Plains, Ohio, Burrow redshirted in 2015 but was impressive enough in practice to steal reps from Collier with the Buckeyes' third team by season's end. Earning Ohio's Mr. Football award in 2014, the 6'3", 208-pounder put up video game-like numbers in his storied high school career, completing 72 percent of his passes for 4,445 yards, 63 touchdowns and two interceptions while adding 642 yards and five scores on the ground in his senior season.
Playing in Ohio's Division III, questions often arose about the competition he faced, but in his short time on campus, that already appears to be a nonfactor. Arriving alongside fellow QB Torrance Gibson, who has since moved to wideout, questions have always seemed to be attached to Burrow's college career, but for now he seems to have the inside track to becoming the Buckeyes' quarterback of the future.
At the very least, Burrow should be considered the favorite to be Barrett's backup this season, giving him the inside track to becoming his long-term replacement. And should Ohio State's starter go down with an injury in 2016, don't be surprised if Burrow finds himself in the starting lineup as the most viable long-term solution to any quarterback needs.
Dwayne Haskins
Although Meyer has seemingly penciled in Burrow as Barrett's backup, the Buckeyes head coach also noted, "The one walking through the doors in June is really good."
"The one" Meyer was referring to is Dwayne Haskins, a 4-star prospect and the lone quarterback signee in Ohio State's 2016 class. A longtime commit to Maryland, Haskins flipped his pledge to the Buckeyes in January after Tristen Wallace spurned Ohio State to play wide receiver at Oregon.
And although Haskins at one time appeared to be the Buckeyes' Plan B, Meyer hasn't been short on praise for the 6'3", 198-pounder who was recently named MVP of the International Bowl.
"If you go watch his highlight tape, just watch the ball come out of his hand, his arm strength, he's a good 6'3"-plus," Meyer said. "The fundamentals that Dwayne Haskins possesses right now is as good as I've ever seen in a young quarterback."
With Barrett entrenched in the starting lineup, Haskins would ideally redshirt in 2016, just like Barrett, Jones, Collier and Burrow have all done under Meyer. But with the way Meyer has talked about his newest quarterback and the uncertainty behind Barrett on the Buckeyes depth chart, the three-time national championship head coach appears to be considering deviating from his plan and playing Haskins as soon as he deems necessary.
"I anticipate...he will compete for playing time as a true freshman," Meyer said.
Without the added benefit of spring practice, beating out Burrow—or even Collier for that matter—could prove to be a tall task.
But for now, the battle to be the Buckeyes' backup quarterback appears wide-open, and could go a long way in shaping the future of Ohio State football.

Can LSU Regain the Commitment of No. 1 2017 Recruit Dylan Moses?
As the nation's top-ranked player in the 2017 class, Dylan Moses is a marked individual. Everything he does is weighed on a proverbial scale.
When the outside linebacker recruit committed to LSU as a freshman in September of 2013, it made national news. When he decommitted from LSU in August of last year, the news was treated with high reverence.
And when Moses decided to transfer from University Lab in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, it shook the recruiting world.
Everything Moses does is news, and LSU is hoping to write headlines next year when Moses announces his verbal commitment and signs his national letter of intent. The Tigers are looking to regain his pledge and fight off schools like Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Florida, USC and UCLA, the schools he recently re-confirmed to ESPN.com's Derek Tyson as being his current favorites.
Is there a chance for Moses to one day recommit to LSU? Sure. Will it be tough for LSU? Definitely. But is it impossible? Absolutely not.
The truth is it'll be hard to find any college program on any level publicly saying it doesn't want Moses on its campus by January 2017 (Moses is planning to enroll in college early).
At 6'2" and 220 pounds, Moses is a specimen with and without pads on. He's well put together physically, super-athletic and someone who makes playing the linebacker position look easy.
As an outside linebacker, Moses has excellent field vision and reacts to plays quickly. He's the guy who rarely misses a tackle and, on occasion, makes that jarring hit determined to wow the crowd and suitable to lead the average highlight tape.
And then there's his play at running back. If a college chooses to use him on the offensive side of the ball, Moses is a guy who can be the shifty, elusive back on one play and the bruising, north-south punisher who enjoys contact on another play.
A handful of LSU coaches have been integral in Moses' recruitment. Along with head coach Les Miles, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, defensive backs coach Corey Raymond and linebackers coach Bradley Dale Peveto all have done their part in recruiting Moses.
Although Moses is now at IMG Academy, Baton Rouge is still his home, and the LSU campus is still minutes away from home. His old high school is located on the LSU campus.
It helps that he's a big fan of Miles. He was very open with his opinions when Miles was under fire and being threatened with losing his coaching position.
Moses is still interested in LSU, but the decommitment was an opportunity for him to fully explore his options and make the right decision next February. He has more than 30 reported offers, the latest reportedly coming from North Carolina and Oklahoma. This spring could mean an opportunity to land even more as he prepares for his senior year at IMG.
Moses told Tyson that Alabama is currently his front-runner, primarily because of the Crimson Tide being "more structured." He also has plans to take unofficial visits to Florida and Florida State. Moses also wants to return to Baton Rouge and see one of LSU's spring practices.
That's great news for LSU. It's not out of the race.
It may be far from being a runaway leader, but it's not out of the race.
It's now all about letting Moses' process play out—all while staying aggressive in landing the nation's top-ranked player.

Haskell Garrett to Ohio State: Buckeyes Land 4-Star DT Prospect
Coveted defensive line recruit Haskell Garrett announced Tuesday that he's going to play college football at Ohio State:
Garrett is a 4-star prospect who rates as the No. 78 overall prospect in the 2017 class, according to 247Sports' composite rankings. He also checks in as the No. 4 defensive tackle and No. 3 recruit from Nevada among the incoming freshmen.
The Bishop Gorman High School star has displayed an impressive combination of skills wrapped into an athletic frame (6'2'', 280 pounds). He's established himself as a force against the run while also making himself a consistent pass-rushing threat.
It's raised questions about what role he'll fill at the college level. Steve Hare of Scout passed along comments from the versatile tackle back in December about what teams have told him.
"There's a lot that are recruiting me as a defensive tackle or defensive end," Garrett said. "I think most people are recruiting me as a three-technique."
All told, Garrett is a prospect with a lot of potential. His technique still needs quite a bit of polish and the transition to college is going to take some time after he simply overpowered a lot of linemen at the high school level. But the long-term outlook is extremely positive.
Adding him to the equation certainly provides a nice boost to the 2017 class.

SEC Football Q&A: Early Picks for the 2016 SEC Championship Game
National signing day just wrapped up, and spring practice is just around the corner.
What better way to hold you over until toe meets leather in March than your weekly serving of SEC Q&A, right?
This week, we take a stab at a post-signing day SEC Championship Game prediction, which redshirt freshmen will become stars in 2016, the budding Florida-Arkansas rivalry and Mississippi State's hopes in the post-Dak Prescott era.
@BarrettSallee sec championship game who's gonna be in it— Robert Gideon (@gideon_robert) February 8, 2016
For the first time since 2010 when Auburn topped South Carolina, the SEC Championship Game will be a rematch. Plus, for the first time, it will be a rematch of one of the top rivalries in college football.
Alabama and Tennessee meet in Knoxville on the "Third Saturday of November." If I had to guess right now, the Crimson Tide will get the best of the Vols in their first meeting, but Tennessee will have the chance for revenge a month and a half later with a conference title on the line.
Actually, I'm more confident in my pick of Tennessee in the East than I am with Alabama out of the West.
The Vols return a fearsome, multidimensional ground attack that features quarterback Joshua Dobbs, junior running back Jalen Hurd and senior running back Alvin Kamara. They have developed experience and depth up front along the offensive line and defensive line, have one of the best linebackers in the country in Jalen Reeves-Maybin, a loaded secondary that includes senior Cam Sutton, and they upgraded at defensive coordinator from John Jancek to Bob Shoop.
What's more, they get Florida on Rocky Top in a game that decided the division last year.
Alabama has much more uncertainty on its roster, with the losses of Heisman Trophy-winning running back Derrick Henry, senior starting quarterback Jake Coker, center Ryan Kelly and senior middle linebacker Reggie Ragland.
Yes, Alabama should be fine and has earned the benefit of the doubt. The combination of Bo Scarbrough and Damien Harris should be fine at running back, there are plenty of talented quarterbacks like Blake Barnett and David Cornwell for offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin to choose from, the offensive line has built through recruiting over the last few years and my theory that Alabama has a machine that clones middle linebackers hidden somewhere in Tuscaloosa hasn't been refuted yet.
A little more concerning for Alabama is that early test versus Ole Miss in Oxford. The Tide have lost that game in each of the last two seasons but still managed to make it to Atlanta. If that happens again—and it could considering the loaded Rebel roster and relative uncertainty with the Tide early on—that would leave head coach Nick Saban's crew a small margin for error for the final two-and-a-half months.
Give me the Tide over the Rebels in a game that will decide the West, Tennessee over Georgia in the game that will decide the East and Alabama toppling Tennessee for its third straight SEC title.
Subject to change, of course.
@BarrettSallee always seems like there's a few RS FR that break out each year. Which ones should we be watching out for next year?— Saturday @ The Swamp (@SwampSaturdays) February 8, 2016
The first name that pops into my mind is Blake Barnett, the former 5-star prospect from California who enrolled at Alabama last January.
At 6'5", 200 pounds, Barnett has the arm strength to stretch the field deep, can push the ball sideline to sideline and actually was reclassified as a prospect from a dual-threat to a pro-style quarterback. So, he has the wheels that can make him a force in an offense under Kiffin that has proven to be successful with both styles of quarterbacks over the last two seasons.
"Once he learns everything and gets stronger and all that stuff and does the things he has to do, he's going to be a monster in college football," said former linebacker Reggie Ragland in January, according to Matt Zenitz of AL.com.
Two Ole Miss guys jump to mind rather quickly, too: running back Eric Swinney and wide receiver Van Jefferson.
Swinney signed with Ole Miss a year ago and was slated to at least contend for some time at running back, but a stress fracture in his leg ended his season before it started, forcing him to sit out. Quarterback Chad Kelly is the leading returning rusher for the Rebels, and they've struggled to run consistently between the tackles for three years. At 5'9", 197 pounds, Swinney is deceptively tough between the tackles, has the edge speed that Ole Miss has become known for and could become a star.
Jefferson should get more playing time after sitting out last season, now that star wide receiver Laquon Treadwell has moved on. At 6'2", 181 pounds, the former 4-star prospect was one of the stars of last year's recruiting class, and he should become more of a factor in an offense that clicks when multiple receivers get in the mix.
It seems like South Carolina fans have been talking about defensive tackle Dexter Wideman for years, after he flipped from Florida State to South Carolina on national signing day two years ago. He didn't qualify initially, went to prep school in 2014, then redshirted with the Gamecocks in 2015.
With a new staff comes a fresh start, and the 6'3", 280-pound, ultra-athletic interior lineman is a perfect fit for the defense under head coach Will Muschamp that moves interior lineman around based on down and situation.
@BarrettSallee Who gets the last laugh when they meet on the field next season, Bielema or McElwain?— ATL Gator (@champton85) February 8, 2016
In case you missed the signing day dust-up between the two, here's a CliffsNotes version:
- Arkansas target Tyrie Cleveland commits to Florida
- Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema either compliments Florida's recruiting efforts or suggests impropriety on national television
- Florida head coach Jim McElwain takes exception
- Bielema publicly states that it was meant as a compliment and didn't intend harm
- Everybody's "happy"
Just because Bielema and McElwain have kissed and made up after the hour-long, passive-aggressive war of words, that doesn't mean that it won't be brought up internally when the two meet in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Nov. 5.
I would lean toward Florida as of today, because the quarterback situation should be resolved at that point, the new defenders should be playing like veterans and the Gator defense is loaded with talented, young players. This year might be a mirror image of last year in Gainesville. The Gators might struggle early due to roster uncertainty but hit their stride down the stretch once everything comes together.
The same path is likely to be taken by Arkansas, which replaces a quarterback, two star running backs, several pieces along the offensive line and superstar tight end Hunter Henry. But what do we know about Bielema-coached teams? They finish strong and should do the same in 2016.
It will be a fun battle in Fayetteville, but Florida's top-end talent should negate any home-field advantage that Arkansas has.
Plus, whether or not McElwain still takes offense to Bielema's comments in November, he'll certainly use them to his advantage.
@BarrettSallee how well will Mississippi State be this year w/o Dak Prescott?— Kroeger (@GKroegs) February 8, 2016
Mississippi State will be competitive within the SEC West, but there's a distinction between being competitive in games and actually competing for the division title.
Nick Fitzgerald should take over at quarterback and run basically the same offense that former signal-caller Dak Prescott thrived in over the last two seasons. Getting Fred Brown back at wide receiver is huge for the transition to a new quarterback. The defense still has plenty to work with, including guys like linebacker Richie Brown and defensive back Kivon Coman leading the way.
The floor of the program has been raised to a point where simply being bowl-eligible isn't good enough anymore, and seven or eight wins should be expected in down seasons.
Head coach Dan Mullen has earned the benefit of the doubt, and he should be able to fill some roster holes successfully to at least be competitive in virtually every game and spring an "upset" or two.
At this point, though, Mississippi State hanging in games with the so-called "big boys" shouldn't be a surprise.

CFB Future 100: Top 9 Quarterback Recruits in Class of 2017
After thorough study using specific scoring criteria, Bleacher Report National Recruiting Analysts Damon Sayles, Sanjay Kirpalani and Tyler Donohue have graded the top 100 players in the 247Sports composite rankings and provided in-depth analysis on each young athlete. Bleacher Report will run a position-by-position breakdown series of the best college football recruits in the 2017 class. Here, we present the Top Quarterbacks.
The quarterback position is a point of emphasis early in every recruiting cycle, as coaching staffs fully understand the importance of stabilizing future plans behind center. High-profile passers can also act as leaders as the cycle progresses, encouraging other prospects to join a class.
While they're only three-quarters of the way through their high school careers, several quarterbacks have emerged as coveted collegiate targets, and some elected to commit more than a year before national signing day. Here's a breakdown of each passer listed among the top 100 overall recruits in 247Sports' 2017 composite rankings, including B/R's assessment based on accuracy, arm strength, pocket presence, mobility, in-game intelligence and overall mechanics.

In July and August, the Museum will open on Tuesdays from 10:30 am to 6 pm.
The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: In this fragment of a typed letter, declarations of love and wishes for bunny dreams are countered by the mention of a virus and the mysterious, incomplete phrase "rip good-bye." The work, titled Love Letter from the War Front, leaves us with many questions—what war? And who are these lovers?The letter comes from a series of enigmatic images that artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres made into jigsaw puzzles—pictures of families, children, travel, as well as news photographs. Looking at them is like opening a stranger's scrapbook. Collectively, they reveal the intersection of personal and shared memories—and hint that much lies beneath the surface. Rather than mounting and framing the puzzles, Gonzalez-Torres displayed them pinned to the wall in the manufacturer's thin plastic bag, emphasizing their fragility. The puzzles are under constant threat of falling apart, evoking the transience of love and memory.

You can twist it, you can turn it, you can plait it till you drop,
But the way of Pilly-Winky's not the way of Winkie-Pop!*
IT had been raining heavily for one whole month--raining on a camp of thirty thousand men, thousands of camels,* elephants, horses, bullocks, and mules, all gathered together at a place called Rawal Pindi,* to be reviewed by the Viceroy of India. He was receiving a visit from the Amir of Afghanistan--a wild king of a very wild country; and the Amir had brought with him for a bodyguard eight hundred men and horses who had never seen a camp or a locomotive before in their lives--savage men and savage horses from somewhere at the back of Central Asia. Every night a mob of these horses would be sure to break their heel-ropes, and stampede up and down the camp through the mud in the dark, or the camels would break loose and run about and fall over the ropes of the tents, and you can imagine how pleasant that was for men trying to go to sleep. My tent lay far away from the camel lines, and I thought it was safe; but one night a man popped his head in and shouted, 'Get out, quick! They're coming! My tent's gone!'
I knew who 'they' were; so I put on my boots and waterproof and scuttled out into the slush. Little Vixen, my fox-terrier, went out through the other side; and then there was a roaring and a grunting and bubbling, and I saw the tent cave in, as the pole snapped, and begin to dance about like a mad ghost. A camel had blundered into it, and wet and angry as I was, I could not help laughing. Then I ran on, because I did not know how many camels might have got loose, and before long I was out of sight of the camp, ploughing my way through the mud.
At last I fell over the tail-end of a gun, and by that knew I was somewhere near the Artillery lines where the cannon

Senior Brandon Florez recorded a win Saturday at the University of Wisconsin.
Jan. 26, 2013
MADISON, Wisc.-- The Southern Illinois Univeristy men's tennis team fell to the University of Wisconsin Saturday in their dual match season opener.
Senior Brandon Florez was the lone win for the Salukis, defeating Billy Bertha 6-4, 5-7, 10-7 in No. 1 singles action at Nielson Tennis Stadium.
"Brandon played his best match as a Saluki today," said SIU head coach Dann Nelson. "It was a performance you expect out of your seniors and I am so happy and excited for him."
Jorge Cavero battled in the No. 3 singles compeition, falling in the tiebreaker 3-6, 6-1, 10-8.
Southern was swept by the Badgers in doubles action. Martijn Admiraal and Brandon Florez fell in the number one spot 8-5 while Badr Cherradi and Johnny Rigby were defeated 7-3 in the No. 2 position. Jorge Cavero and Szymon Opieczonek dropped the contest 8-2.
"We started off slow in doubles and got down big in all three matches and just need to get better starts to be more successful," said Nelson.
The Salukis return to the court tomorrow at 10 a.m. taking on the University of Missouri-Kansas City in Madison, Wisc.
"We need to have the entire team ready to play well on any given day and right now we aren't there yet and hopefully we can turn it around tomorrow."

Academic Achievement
In the summer of 2002, the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) recognized Western Michigan for its success in graduating student-athletes.
In a survey conducted by the AFCA, Western Michigan was one of nine schools that posted a graduation rate of 90 percent or better over a five-year period.
The survey focused on scholarship athletes who enrolled as freshmen or transfers during the 1996-97 academic year and included data collected from 80 Division I programs.
Northwestern earned the AFCA's 2002 Academic Achievement Award with a 100 percent graduation rate.
The eight other schools in the 90 percent group were Boston College, Duke, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Penn State, Rice, Vanderbilt and WMU.
Community Service
The Football Broncos participated in three key community service projects in 2002. The first was a car wash benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kalamazoo, held in conjunction with the Spring Game.
Over the summer, the Broncos renovated a deteriorating house to assist the Kalamazoo Valley Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
During the season, Bronco players made six visits to the children's ward at Bronson Methodist Hospital taking part in activities with the patients.

Darnell has guided WMU to a pair of MAC West Division titles (1999, 2000) and back-to-back appearances in the MAC Championship Game. He was named 2000 MAC Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the 2001 and 2002 Eddie Robinson Coach of Distinction Award. Darnell ranks 14th all-time in the MAC in winning percentage and in league wins.
"Getting the final extra inch is really the essence of success. We played 59 minutes and 30 seconds in five ball games this year - and know what - that wasn't enough. We have to learn to play 60 minutes. We have to make sure our players understand the concept that you play anywhere between 40-to-60 plays in a game to get those one-to-four plays that make a difference. That's one of the things we have to learn to do a better job of, so when it comes time to make a difference, you do. I think we have to do a better job with the fundamental things that make you win."
"This league has gotten so difficult. There's no gimmies. The strengths of the programs and the things that have happened, virtually every team in this league has done something facility wise, which five years ago wasn't happening. Now everybody is doing something. Television has been a big thing in recruiting. If you look at the rosters now as opposed to five-six years ago, you'll certainly see we're not a conference with barriers. It's not a regional conference anymore. Every team has players from different parts of the country. You take Toledo, they've got their little nest in Pittsburgh, in Canada and they're recruiting Texas pretty hard. Bowling Green has a real system going in Georgia, and they also go to Florida. Eastern and Kent now have most of their guys coming from the east coast. It's starting to be more of a national-level conference."
"It never gets any easier. The competitiveness of the league has changed so dramatically. The one big difference is that we don't have to show them pictures anymore. We showed them pictures of the Bill Brown Center and pictures of the Seelye Center. But all that stuff is in place now. I would say that for the first time in the history of this school, things are lined up."

Meet Kayla
I am attending school to become an elementary school teacher, and have spent the last 3 years getting paid to work with children. My most recent job was at a preschool where I was a Teacher's Assistant. Before working at the preschool I worked at an after-school program as a tutor, I was the head site coordinator. Therefore not only did I tutor my student I oversaw the other tutors and volunteers at my school site. I started babysitting when I was 13 and have been babysitting on and off throughout the years. Working with children is my passion. I could not imagine doing anything else.

Schwedler won the bet, and Stevens created the Super Prestige. This model features internal cable routing that's compatible with electronic drivetrains, a ride-stiffening seatmast, and a front brake hanger that reduces brake shudder.

I bought a new Windows 7 PC 2 days before. I liked this windows in its advanced features and all. But whenever i turn on i get a pop up Action Center.
Could any one of you tell me , what is Action Center and how to manage it ?
I bought a new Windows 7 PC 2 days before. I liked this windows in its advanced features and all. But whenever i turn on i get a pop up Action Center.
Could any one of you tell me , what is Action Center and how to manage it ?
In Windows 7 Microsoft is committed to offering an increased level of control over the Windows client to the end user. Action Center is a central location for dealing with messages about your system and the starting point for diagnosing and solving issues with your system. It do a great job of compressing all of Windows' update, alert, whatever notifications into one icon..what is Action Center
You can think of Action Center as a message queue displaying the items that need your attention that you can manage on your schedule. It serves as an aggregate for ten components in Windows Vista that contributed a large number of somewhat questionably effective notification balloons, but notifications that could not just be eliminated. At the heart of the Action Center effort is the idea that your time is extremely valuable it should never be wasted.
Now to manage the Action center in Windows 7, just follow this simple steps:-
1. Select Action Center from Control Panel or simply type "action center" (no quotes) into the search box in the Start Menu.
2. By default the Action Center notification icon will be displayed in the taskbar and display messages about security and maintenance settings.
3. While in Action Center you can view which settings are enabled or not and change them by clicking the different hyperlinks.
4. Click on Change Action Center settings to turn messages on or off.
5. If you are an experienced user and don't care to see the Action Center icon in the taskbar at all, here is how we disable it. Click on Start and go to Control Panel.
6. Now in Control Panel select All Control Panel Items and then click on System Icons.
7. The Turn system icons on or off window will open and here you change Action Center to Off. Notice you can also turn other system icons on or off as well.
8. Also if you click on Customize notification icons in the screen above you can select the behavior of other tray notifications individually.
Thats it.. If you are new to computers to Windows 7 you might not want to disable the Action Center entirely until you get a better feel for it. With these tips you can definitely control the amount of notifications that pop up.
One of the big themes of Windows 7 from a design perspective is making sure that you are in control of what is happening on your PC.
- Action Center reduce the number of notification balloons sent to you and make the ones that are sent more meaningful
- Action Center provide a contextual way to address the issues with a single click
- Action Center reduce the user-interface clutter in the system to streamline solving system issues
Thanks for your quick and useful replies guys... Thats really a new thing for me to know about windows 7..
Thank you !!


text: If a full carbon fork has a crack at the top of the steerer is it still safely useable with a proper expander, and or are there any other solutions to fixing it. I dont know much about carbon but my original thought was to drill out the bottom of the crack as top stop it from continuing and then gluing it up and using a good expander. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

A beautiful location and a fantastic cabin that has everything you need. all you have to bring is food.My only suggestion is to have a car as it is far from everthing, but if you are looking to get away from it all this is the place.
Confirmed guest, 2015-08-11
The lodge was warm and comfortable, with a wonderful view of the lake.
Confirmed guest, 2015-08-01
Basic furnishings, I had a problem sleeping on the double bed and ended up in a single. This may be because I have a foam mattress at home and am not used to the spring movement when the wife moved.
Lodge was clean and tidy,warm and suitable kitchen utensils, pots and pans etc.
I would definitely book here again.

Today is the day, all public school systems across the state will have to fork over three-quarters of a percent of their budgets.
It's all part of statewide budget cut ordered by the governor's office last month.
Public instructions' portion amounted to $117-million dollars, of which they've found $59-million in state expenses.
Here in eastern Carolina, Onslow county will take the biggest hit, having to return $941,277 to the state.
Pitt county is next with $912,035. The school systems had 30 days to cut funds.

A lot of staged stuff on CNBC. Most of the hosts on CNBC are not qualified to be speak thoughtfully about anything. For many (not all) they just read a script. It's just cable news journalism. The facts are plenty of engineers already clearly explained VHC patents during trial (that's why they keep winning) and Mr. Greenberg thinks it's "murky". Thanks Herb for that amazing analysis. CNBC comments are more murky than the actual court documents we read last night. 44 days and counting, Cisco up next.
The CNBC exchange between Greenberg and Kramer was comical. I can't believe the hubris people sometimes illustrate instead of just admitting they were wrong. Greenberg states that he is "unsure whether VHC will get a royalty or whether Apple will appeal." All the TV analyst are very smart but that does not necessarily make them knowledgeable. I have found that none of them know as much about a company that I follow closely. I presume they simply have too much volume to cover to really drill down on certain companies. However, they should close their "pie holes" and put their pride aside when they don't know what they are talking about, or have blown the call.
Greenberg certainly falls into this category- "CLOSE YOUR PIE HOLE." You were and are clearly wrong. VHC crushed Apple and Judge Davis (who has also never been overturned on appeal) affirmed the beat down. Apple will not be appealing this one. Davis ran such a tight ship throughout the trial that Apple really does not have any appealable issues. Brilliant VHC lawyering....
The real march has commenced. Mr. Larsen deserves much praise.

LOS ANGELES — Consider the simple but beloved chocolate chip cookie. Now imagine that cookie encrusting a brioche roll tucked around a turkey meatball.
Or turn your thoughts to a mass-produced cherry pie transformed into an eggroll with dipping sauce. Or the prospect of potato chip soup.
Such is the culinary fallout from "Rewrapped," a new Food Network series that builds on the tradition of "Unwrapped," a longtime channel staple that also airs on the Cooking Channel.
"Unwrapped," now in reruns, pulls the veil back on how peanut butter, snack cakes, marshmallows and other such items are commercially produced.
"Rewrapped," debuting at 8 p.m. Monday and hosted by Joey Fatone, is a competition in which chefs recreate a brand product and then use it in original, sometimes mind-boggling, recipes.
The desire to "repurpose" footage from "Unwrapped" led to the new series from producer BSTV Entertainment, according to Marc Summers, a game-show host ("Double Dare") and comedian who leads its three-judge panel.
Summers is familiar to Food Network viewers as the host of "Unwrapped," and is a producer whose credits include the channel's "Dinner: Impossible" and "Restaurant: Impossible," which marks its 100th episode May 7.
On "Rewrapped," there is a first-round challenge, such as the smile on Pepperidge Farm's tiny Goldfish crackers. Chefs deftly employed such tools as coat hangers and foil to fashion the grin, Summers said. Points are awarded and then carried into round two, which turns up the creative heat. They also can give a judge pause.
"The chefs put these things in front of you and you think, 'Oh, this is not going to be good,' " Summers said. But when he sampled the cookie-meatball-brioche mash-up, he recalled, "Oh, my God, my head exploded. It was fantastic."
