Tigers coach says he will attempt to lure Perrilloux to join Jackson St.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3389426 JACKSON, Miss. -- Count Jackson State in on the Ryan Perrilloux sweepstakes. Coach Rick Comegy said he is attempting to lure the dismissed LSU quarterback to campus for a visit in hopes of signing the troubled player. Perrilloux could play right away if he decides to transfer to a Football Championship Subdivision team. "We want to be in the ballpark like everyone else who's recruiting him and see what the situation is and try to see if he fits our program and those type of things," Comegy said. "We just don't want to have to play against him." ESPN.com 5/10/08 posted 5/12/08

Risky picks impress Saints

http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080512/SPORTS/805120335 METAIRIE — For the past three years, the New Orleans Saints have had a high-risk, high-reward philosophy in the late rounds of the NFL draft.Two years ago, it paid off with the drafting of seventh-rounder Marques Colston, who quickly became the Saints' best receiver. Last year, it wasn't quite as productive as fourth-rounder Antonio Pittman and fifth-rounder David Jones never made it out of training camp. This April, the Saints took a couple of gambles, drafting two players with off-the-field issues which made their draft stock drop. But after two days of rookie minicamp, it looks as though the Saints may have hit the proverbial jackpot. Shreveporttimes.com 5/12/08

Saban, Miles talk to recruits via Web camera to bypass new rule

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3389203 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban normally spends this time of year on the road evaluating prep prospects and visiting with high school coaches. The Alabama coach is doing a different kind of networking these days -- all from the comfort of his office. Saban is among a handful of college head coaches using video conferences to chat with recruits because they can't meet in person. A new NCAA regulation -- dubbed the "Saban Rule" -- is keeping coaches from making those traditional visits to high school campuses during the spring evaluation period that runs through May. Webcams have hardly replaced telephones or text messages as the preferred mode of talking to recruits. But, said LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette, they are without a doubt the wave of the future in long-distance communicating with high school players. ESPN.com Posted 5/12/08
