Football Paulus

Now, that UNC Football coach, John Bunting, has signed prep phenom QB, Mike Paulus, will people give him his full credit due...Geez.

What a land. Here's a little for you to you know how big of a coup Paulus's signing is for Bunting...

The highest rated and most hyped QB of the past twenty years is Jimmy Clausen, who has two older brothers that played at Tennessee and had great college careers. Analysts and coaches consider the younger Clausen to be the next John Elway. He signed with Charlie Weis and Notre Dame claiming that Weis will develop him to be the best he possibly can be on NFL Sundays.

Weis has already stated that he won't recruit over QBs because their development is that important to him. His safeguard in case Clausen chose USC or South Carolina to take over Brady Quinn's starting position...Mike Paulus.

How high did USC head coach Pete Carroll regard him?

Carroll was penciling him in as the starter in two years. They already have two of the best QBs that have come out of high-school in the past several years with Mark Sanchez and John Booty. Carroll had plans to groom behind Sanchez and Booty's graduation times.

My fear was that he was gone to USC, but perfect timing is everything...

Sanchez entered into some serious legal problems last week with a sexual assault case. The Reggie Bush scenario is looking uglier by the day. Now, Dwayne Jarrett is in trouble for allowing his roommate, Matt Leinart, to pay half his rent, which is ridiculous. It seems the NCAA is swirling into every corner of the program by investigating every little move with the SC program, and it looks like the NCAA will be damned to let USC return to their free-wheeling days of the '70s with their boosters.

The threat of trouble brewing had to factor into Paulus's choice.

**The great thing is that UNC now has a very strong shot at five-star recruit, Greg Little, who is out of Durham or "Bull City" if you will. Little supposedly likes Carolina and is waiting to see where Paulus is heading. Don't feel too good too soon Tar Heel fans. ND is at it again...Charlie Weis loves Little, which could be tough to overcome.

Little is supposedly the best offensive football prospect out of the Triangle in quite some time...That says something.

Don't forget UNC five-star signees are a rarity...This kid is a lot more than a Scott Stankavage. The jumps for joy are highly warranted. Big ups!

Keep On Movin'...Don't Stop,
