Without reading the comments (just got done with flights for the day but caught the game flying home from Denver):

1) Shane "The Situation" Morris: I was one who defended him based on junior film and camps. Yet after a horrible senior year and an overall awful showing at the UA game/practices, I can't...he has seriously regressed or over-performed before this year. Yes, the OL has not meshed yet and no rapport has been built with WRs at All-Star games...this is why the D always outperforms the O. However, not one single QB looked even close to as pathetic as Morris. I can't even recount how many times he threw balls that just made me shake my head. I try to be as fair as possible and at one point I thought Shane was a real player. At this point though, I seriously doubt him being able to be effective for scUM, let alone elite.

2) Hargreaves III: Wow...this kid is special, no question in my mind that he is the top DB in the country after this game. I honestly wouldn't object to him being the #1 player overall unless Max Browne or someone else really blows up the Army AA game tomorrow. Kid is just absolutely legit. Nobody on his level.

3) Alas, the OSU commits: a) Impressed with almost all of them. Jalin showed some downfield ability and that will not be his role early on here, so very impressive. Would have loved some shorter routes to see what he could do in the open field. Also a huge hit on that punt. b) Gareon Conley has some real athletic and physical ability. In the short term, I think his skills translate to WR. Long term, Conley can be an ELITE CB if he gets the proper training. Either way, we have a player. c) Burrows is extremely aggressive and has all the tools. He will be a great one but just didn't happen to shine today. d) Bosa is going to be a stud...he made plays today but even when you didn't see him make a play, he beat his man all over the place. The thing with Joey is that if he doesn't make the tackle, he will make the play. Kid is going to be special here, guarantee it if he stays healthy. e) Trey Johnson made some great plays today and really covered the field. The rotation at LB was heavy but I feel he made the most out of his opportunities and will make a name for himself here if he keeps his head on straight. f) Baugh: Didn't see the 4th quarter but I honestly didn't even realize he was in the game until I just now checked the roster. No real worry here though, the kid has shown himself to be a player both on the field and in the camp circuits.

4) Boulware, the Clemson commit: Wow, what an animal. Made plays all over the field and just dominated this game. Also seems like a great kid with alot of character and leadership. Would be very curious to see Grad's opinion on him for his whole career in SC, as he was never an OSU target and thus had no discussion here.

5) Vonn Bell...wowsers: Behind Hargreaves, easily the most impressive DB today. Big time playmaker and simply disruptive. I can't have any higher opinion of a player than I have of Bell right now. I just pray he is as high on the Bucks as we think...I think he can be the greatest safety since Doss here. Literally, the sky is the limit for this kid.

6) Hackenburg: This kid is phenomenal. Ball rolls off his hand, great pocket presence, keeps his eyes downfield, leader, and has all the tangible ability in the world. He is going to be a force for PSU. There are some kids who just let go of the ball and you are impressed...he is one of them.

7) Matthew Thomas: Wow, just unreal. ESPiN got one right in naming him a 5 star. All over the field and maybe the overall best player of the game today.

- Overall, entertaining game and saw a lot from some guys. Hopefully the Army AA game follows in the same path tomorrow.

Why did I just realize that NBC is no longer broadcasting the UA game? I might actually have to leave the house to watch this one.

NBC has never broadcast the Under Armour game. I think you're getting the two games confused. NBC broadcasts the Army All-American game later this afternoon.
