The Crimson Quarry, an Indiana Hoosiers community

Bielema spoke to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently and touched on all those topics and more. Most of this link is written in a Q&A format, so you see Bielema elaborate on these topics. Interesting to see his recruiting philosophy regarding the state of Georgia. I'm sure the question was raised since this is the Atlanta paper, but it's the first time we remember Bielema discussing Georgia recruiting this bluntly.

A Mississippi State coach has a very simple message for 4-star linebacker recruit Michael Ferns. You just have to see it.

Chris Bahn opines on the only-happens-to-Arkansas circus that took place yesterday and gives thoughts on the class as a whole.

RazorBloggers: Much has been made of Bielema's staff's connections to Florida recruiting. What can Arkansas fans expect to gain from those connections?

ManbearCal, is Mitch Stephens breaking news here or just a typo?

SB Nation's own Bud Elliot (@SBNrecruiting) discusses whether Auburn has an image problem, and if so, how it might impact recruiting. Tell us what you think.

This was bound to happen sooner or later. Spartan Tailgate reports that Texas OL recruit Caleb Benenoch has decommitted from MSU. He chose the Spartans early in the recruiting process — before his stock blew up. He has since received offers from a ton of Big 12 and SEC schools, and his commitment to MSU was starting to waver publicly. I'll have more on this in Wednesday's recruiting roundup.

The Gamecocks landed three-star cornerback Ali Groves from Georgia. He's the 14th commitment for USC in the class of 2013. He chose the Gamecocks over schools like Vanderbilt, Missouri, Ole Miss and Kentucky.

Urban Meyer evened the ledger on the day with his basketball counter part by securing the verbal commitment of Alex Anzalone. Anzalone told Eleven Warriors' Alex Gleitman following Saturday's Spring Game that he plans to attend Ohio State in 2013. The 6'3, 220 lb outsider linebacker from Wyomissing, PA is a consensus 4-star talent and was also being recruited by the likes of Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Oklahoma, Penn State, and USC. He marks the Buckeyes' eleventh verbal for the 2013 class.
