I am having difficulty balancing the Rivals reporting and my blogging not so much from a time perspective but from an “intellectual property” perspective. Obviously, my Rivals paycheck comes from subscriber dollars so I don’t want to completely give away the farm for free here. What I’m hoping to do in the future is have more quotes here as well as lots of tidbit stuff, much of which will overlap with content for Rivals but at the same time will still make subscribing to Rivals a worthwhile endeavor.

Speaking of which, the Rivals site is only $100 a year (or $10 a month if you don’t want to make the year long commitment up front). I’ve been impressed with the content submitted by others and you really get a lot of great recruiting news that you won’t get for free. Plus you get access to the content from all of the other school’s Rival sites.

As for DJax returning kickoffs, Tedford has spoken to it in the past, although briefly. Mostly it sounded like a “I don’t want to wear him out” answer. Also, it would seem to me that he’s not as good a candidate for that job as generally the ability to run over tacklers is more important on a kickoff than a punt return.
