Hawaii record-setting quarterback Colt Brennan signed an ESPN the Magazine and an 8x10 photo in less than two weeks. The Warriors' signal-caller broke countless school, conference, and NCAA records while at Hawaii but is projected to fall into the 3rd round or lower in this spring's NFL Draft. (You can see the photo he signed by checking out the message board.)

Also signing was former Florida State star and 1993 Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward, who sent back a pair of signed index cards and a completed questionnaire in less than a week care of Westburg (TX) Christian School where he is currently employed. Ward won numerous other gridiron awards while also starring on the basketball floor and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

Miami Hurricanes baseball star Yonder Alonso signed a pair of index cards and completed a questionnaire care of UM baseball in just 10 days. The junior first baseman is a Second Team Preseason All-American and is rated the #5 college baseball prospect in the country by Baseball America.

California ace Tyson Ross also signed a pair of index cards in just over two months. The junior from Oakland earned 1st Team All-Pac 10 honors last season after going 6-6 with a 2.49 ERA and striking out 120 in 115 innings of work.

Former NC State ace Andrew Brackman signed a pair of index cards in just over a month. A first round pick in last spring's MLB Draft by the New York Yankees, Brackman played both baseball and basketball at NCSU and underwent Tommy John surgery late last summer.

High school football star Jamie Harper, a Clemson signee, signed a pair of index cards and completed a questionnaire care of Trinity (FL) Christian Academy in less than a week. Harper is rated the #1 fullback in the country and one of the top 120 players in the nation regardless of position.

High school hoops star Lance Goulbourne also signed a pair of index cards and completed a questionnaire care of The Hun (NJ) School in less than a month. The Vanderbilt signee is rated as one of the top 100 basketball prospects in the class of 2009.

A couple of college hoops coaches, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and McNeese State's Dave Simmons, signed 8x10 photos via email in less than two months.
