Recap of the week...

I received a pair of coaching successes via email, plus a traditional player success through snail mail this past week....

Illinois running back Rashard Mendenhall signed a pair of index cards care of the UI athletic department in just 15 days. The junior had a Big Ten-best 8.2 yards per carry last season and has continued his impressive running this fall. For the season thus far, Mendenhall has run for over 1100 yards (more than 120 per game) and a dozen scores.



South Carolina head football coach Steve Spurrier signed an 8x10 photo care of the Gamecocks' athletic department. That request was sent via email and took just 7 days.

Arizona State head football coach Dennis Erickson also signed a photo care of the ASU athletic department. Like the Spurrier request, this one was also sent via email and took just 7 days.
