Trio of successes....

Former Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco signed a pair of index cards and completed a questionnaire I sent in just 16 days. Flacco also included a couple of photos that he provided and hand-wrote a brief note. The former Blue Hen threw for more than 3300 yards and 18 touchdowns this fall and is projected as a 2nd or 3rd round NFL draft pick.

Also signing was high school baseball star Walker Kelly, who sent back a pair of signed index cards and a completed questionnaire care of Arlington Heights (TX) High School in about 4 months. The left-handed pitcher is an Aflac All-American.

Loyola Chicago head coach Jim Whitesell signed an 8x10 photo via email in about 3 months.
