Recap of the week that was....

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow led the week off by signing an 8x10 photo I designed and sent to him care of his home address. That was returned signed in 42 days. Tebow has led the Gators to a 4-2 start to the season while throwing for nearly 1500 yards and 13 touchdowns and completing over 65% of his passes. The dual-threat QB has also run for almost 500 yards and 9 more scores already this fall.

Boston College's DeJuan Tribble also signed this week. The Eagles' defensive back and return specialist signed one index card care of the BC athletic department in 35 days. Tribble, a senior from Ohio, is a second team All-ACC performer who has already picked off four passes this fall.

High school football star A.J. Green also signed a pair of index cards care of his school. That success took just under a month. Green, one of the top five prospects in the country regardless of position, is a wide receiver from Summerville, SC who has committed to Georgia over the likes of Auburn, South Carolina, and Clemson.

Another high school standout, Tim Melville of Wentzville Holt (MO) High School, also signed a pair of index cards care of his school. That request took just 5 days. Melville was honored as the 2007 Jackie Robinson Award winner as the country's top high school baseball player. Last season he was 10-1 with a 0.89 ERA on the mound, while also hitting .443 at the plate.

Former college baseball star and current minor leaguer Jake Arrieta signed a pair of index cards care of his new squad in 58 days. The former TCU standout was 9-3 with a 3.01 ERA for the Frogs this past spring before being drafted in the fifth round by the Baltimore Orioles.

Rounding out the week was Hofstra hoops star Antoine Agudio. The guard signed a pair of index cards care of the school's athletic department in just 20 days. Entering his senior season, Agudio has compiled over 1600 points and cashed in on 273 career 3-point shots, third-best in the nation in both categories.
