Thaddius Smith commits and other links

Pennsylvania athlete Thaddius Smith committed to BC early this Monday afternoon. He is expected to play WR. While his offers are mostly FCS level, I love that Addazio targeted and closed him early.

Although still enrolled at BC, Luke Kuechly is working out in Charlotte the next two weeks.

Donahue is recruiting his former Cornell player Errick Peck hard. He has one year left and can transfer immediately  Although he is only 6'6, he could give us some depth on the front line. I am all in favor of picking up guys for depth who won't impact our long-term scholarship balance. BC is also after some big men for the 2014 recruiting class.

Spaz is spending some time helping Doug Martin at New Mexico State. I would worry about them preparing for BC, but our schemes will be so different from theirs, that it won't be much of an advantage.

I guess we can expect a cushion defense from NMSU.

""To have an opportunity to have a coach like Frank Spaziani visit with your staff is a real honor," Martin said. "He obviously is one of the best defensive coaches in the country and has a great reputation of being a very creative coach. I think this is a great opportunity, especially for our defensive staff, to learn a lot from him, specifically on the blitz package. I'm very grateful he is willing to take time out of his schedule to spend a week with us.'"

Huh? Is Martin serious? Spaz had a blitz package??

"very creative" are not words i associate with Spaz. thank god that loser is gone.

Addazio gets another solid commitment. Outlow at RB, Smith at WR, Wade at QB -- hopefully we have some legitimate options on the offensive side of the ball in 2-3 years.

Would love to see Errick Peck come for a year, get an advanced degree and help a good ACC team become better next year. The video of him is impressive. He's really explosive. I'm actually surprised his stats aren't better just from watching his highlights. Get him and get one more true PF/Center Grad 1-year eligible guy. I heard David Pellom big time rebounder from GWU ? He's eligible next year. Two 1 year guys with experience next year, and then two 2014 blue clippers....
