Maybe then they would be eligible for the SEC, they of the 3.56 40 yard guys. (Or so the SEC fans would have you believe)

The skinny: Returned five kickoffs for touchdowns last season, one short of the national record. Returned one punt for a touchdown. Averaged 36.1 yards on 28 kickoff returns. Also rushed for 1,045 yards on 196 carries and scored 20 touchdowns (average length 42.1 yards). But statistics are only half the story about Saddler. He is a good-natured, jovial teenager with a great sense of humor. Sit down with him for a few minutes and it's like a comedy show.

College talk: Even though he's small, Saddler is being recruited by big schools and has narrowed his list to West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia and Syracuse. Schools are recruiting him as a slotback and kick returner.

How tall are you? C'mon now. You know every time a reporter calls me, I lie and change it. But I have to start keeping up with my lies. A reporter called me the other day and said, 'How big are you?' I said 5-8. He told me the last time he talked to me, I told him I was 5-9. So I said, 'I guess I'm 5-9.'
golddot.gif
You talk a lot on the field, don't you? It's just having fun. If I'm talking, I have to back it up, which means I have to give 100 percent every play. ... I always try to get in someone's head. I have to, being this little.
golddot.gif
Is anything off limits with the trash talking? Nothing. And don't ever let me see your girlfriend, because then it's over. If I ever see a player's girlfriend, you're going to hate my guts. In fact, I might call someone's girlfriend this year. I'll say, 'You know what? If we beat your boy's team this week, you have to go on a date with me.'
golddot.gif
How many girlfriends do you have? Right now, it's the season, and when the season comes, you have to start settling down. You have to have only one girl who you can complain to every day after practice. So I have only one right now who I complain to every day after practice. She's listening, too. I don't know why. But she's listening.

David Beckham is ...
Smooth. You see his girlfriend? He makes nice spikes, too.
golddot.gif
You wear David Beckham soccer spikes? I got them personalized. Look, my [jersey] number 5 is on them. They're so light. And nobody knows they're soccer spikes. They say, 'Oooh, where'd you get them from?' I just say, 'Don't worry about it.'

Tell me what you think about college recruiting: You get a whole bunch of junk fed to you. Everywhere you go, coaches say, 'You come here, you're going to be the man.' The coaches are like used car salesmen. That's what they are. Everyone is trying to sell their product.
golddot.gif
People might be surprised to know that ... I was in a play called "Showboat" when I was 7 years old at the Benedum Center.
golddot.gif
Were you a dancer? C'mon now. What are you trying to do, hurt me? I was an actor on the stage. I sang, too, but I didn't have a microphone. I was just in the back humming.
golddot.gif
Any question you wish I would've asked? I wish you would've asked about my offensive linemen. All the reporters come here, and nobody asks about them. Can you mention them -- Aaron Sukay, Colin Rocky, Eric Warning, Corey Burnside, Bill Kemp and Steve Horvath.

Sounds like a pretty cocky kid. Good thing he is a pretty good football player. However, maybe this combined with his size is what turned the coaches off? Just throwing things out there. He seems to be a polar opposite from Shayne's calm demeanor.

That is a horrible interview for the PG! It is more of something you would find in Maxim or something. Cameron is no different than you average high school football player. If I was him I would not even answer questions like the ones they asked cause it shines a negative light on a good kid.

come on, that was a great interview? cocky? i would say he was honest. what part of that was cocky? he was humble and funny as hell. his answer about his height and his acting experience were hilarious. if you think that interview is cocky then what do you think about some of the players interviews that osu has recruited?

First let me say that I've never seen Shugarts being cocky in interviews. Then again I've not seen many Shugarts interviews. That's another topic though.

I just think Saddler seemed like he likes to boast quite a bit. Talking about going out with opposing player's GF's was a little out of line, IMO.

I'm glad he's toning it down for football season by going with only one girlfriend. In the off season though, he should feel free to resume with the standard amount of girlfriends.

Seriously though, he comes off as pretty cocky, although the OL "shoutout" was nice to see.
