Week recap...

Five successes arrvied in the mailbox this week...

Among them was Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, a devout Christian who signed the 8x10 photo I designed and sent to him care of the UT athletic department. That request took just 23 days, and as I requested, McCoy included his favorite Bible verse on the photo. A First Team Academic All-Big XII selection, the sophomore signal-caller has led the Horns to a 4-0 start while throwing for over 1000 yards and 7 touchdowns already this season.

Also signing an 8x10 photo I designed was former Maryland quarterback Sam Hollenbach, also a devout Christian. Hollenbach returned that request in just 23 days care of the UM athletic department, and like McCoy, he also included his favorite Bible verse on the photo. The former Terps QB was the team's bowl game MVP last season and became only the 4th Maryland quarterback to ever throw for more than 5000 yards in a career.

Tennessee transfer Tyler Smith, who heads to Knoxville after spending one season at Iowa, signed a pair of index cards care of the UT athletic department in just 20 days. Smith earned Third Team All-Big Ten honors while playing with the Hawkeyes last season and was granted immediate eligibility at Tennessee, where he will be a sophomore for the 2007-2008 campaign.

Future college hoops star Delvon Roe of St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio signed a pair of index cards care of his school in just 14 days. Roe, who is committed to Michigan State, is ranked among the top 10 recruits in the country this season according to scout.com.

The week wraps up with high school footbal standout Mike Adams of Dublin-Coffman High School in Dublin, Ohio. The 6'7" 300-plus pounder is committed to Ohio State and is ranked among the top 10 prospects in the country, regardless of position, by scout.com.
