After one year of running roughshod over his Midwest contemporaries, apparently Urban Meyer is already sooooo over everything to do with the Big Ten. Either that, or he’s just plain tired of beating everybody up. Whatever the case, Meyer took the radio airwaves on Thursday and bellowed out a message loud and clear to the […]

Signing Day is officially over. So what were the story lines following the wackiest day of the college football calendar? Let’s take a […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ntYvMSIA_NE College football coaches are a fickle bunch, often known for their inability to show any type of emotion, regardless of the circumstance. That's true on game-day, but also Signing Day as well, where admittedly even the best coaches wiff on a high percent of the players they sign. So in essence, why get excited […]

Sure it might be cliché, but Christmas really did come in February for Hugh Freeze and the Ole Miss Rebels football program. That’s because after months of waiting, anxiety and unease, the No. 1 high school player in the country, Georgia defensive end Robert Nkemdiche committed to the Rebels on Wednesday morning. For those who […]

It's no secret that here at Crystal Ball Run we love college football as much as you do. We also know that for most of you (like us), Signing Day serves as both a literal and metaphorical benchmark in the college football off-season; today is both a "Christmas in February" type celebration for fans everywhere, […]

One of the great Signing Day traditions across college football is the rampant- at times, comical- accusations of cheating. Ask just about any fan, from any school, and every team in the sport is cheating. Well, except theirs of course. However, it’s not often that you get a player to talk about. It’s even rarer […]

It’s hard to imagine that in the football-crazed world we live in- where college football recruiting is tracked on the internet 365 days a year and followed by millions annually- that any player could fly under the radar, or struggle to get the attention of his peers and recruiting experts alike. Especially when that player […]

For new Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich, it’s safe to say that his first month on the job could be going a little smoother. But unfortunately it definitely isn’t, and instead of celebrating his first recruiting class in the lead-up to Signing Day on Wednesday, the Oregon staff is instead trying to hold on for […]

Although it didn’t seem possible, the impossible happened in college football on Monday night: The Alabama Crimson Tide’s football program somehow got stronger. It came in the form of the nation’s top ranked linebacker Reuben Foster, who committed to the Crimson Tide. Foster, a five-star recruit on just about every repeatable website on the net […]

For those who follow college football (like we know all of you do), it’s no secret that this past season UCLA had quite a bit of success under a first-year, former NFL head coach in Jim Mora. Ironically however, had the sands of time shaken out a little differently, Mora might’ve never gotten the UCLA […]

As we learn every year in the lead-up to Signing Day, there are both gifts and curses to being a top high school football recruit. For all the pomp and circumstance that comes with committing to one of college football’s top programs, so too come the stresses; stresses that in the past have impacted the […]

There’s an old saying that “When it rains, it pours.” That’s obviously the case at the University of Oregon, where it quite literally rains nearly every day; according to ClimateZone.com the city gets hit with an average of 49 inches of precipitation a year. However, in terms of the state of the Ducks’ football program, […]
