Bowl Picks - Week of 12/21

Recruiting Update

After his official visit this weekend, DE Izaan Cross (Flowery Branch HS - GA) committed to play for the Yellow Jackets next season.  Only a 3-star guy according to Rivals, but at 6-3 and 250, he looks to be a force to be reckoned with in the future for the Jackets.  Glad to have another recruit onboard for the 2009 season.
