Morning Six Pack: January 12, 2013

How many times have YOU written the date wrong so far? It’s ok to do so as you drink up these six college football stories from around the country. Who’s countin?

Championship Hunger Rumbles for Stoops, Sooners

Who’s countin?

Quotable:

“When they’re talking to a Derrick Henry or an Altee Tenpenny, they can say, ‘Here’s where we’re at. We’ve had two backs in Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson depart early. We have to recruit this position essentially three years in advance, because we’re now expecting players at this position could potentially leave. With Eddie Lacy and then essentially what will happen in two years with T.J. Yeldon, we’ve got to start stockpiling this position, and there are going to be opportunities to play sooner rather than later.’

“I think that’s where it comes in to play.” Do elite recruits get the idea that they just need to play for three years if they go to Alabama?

“To be honest with you, they all think that,” Luginbill said. “It’s whether they’re foolish enough to believe it. The reality is that less than 1 percent of the entire population of kids that play college football at any level will actually play in the National Football League, but these high school kids don’t think that way. They haven’t seen the big picture yet. They think they’re going to be that guy.”
