Looks like our star recruit, 6'3", 245 lb linebacker Vontaze Burfict will be eligible for the season, according to ASU head coach Dennis Erickson.
Per Jeff Metcalfe:
"He'll be here for the first game," Erickson said. "He's done everything he needs to do."
Burfict is a freak who will terrorize the Pac-10 as long as he is here, which hopefully will be 4 long, successful seasons.
I've been hoping for this day for a long time, and while he has not been officially cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse, this is a big step in that direction. Erickson wouldn't come out and say this if he didn't have a slight inkling on the issue.
Anyway, does anyone else think this defense is going to be ferocious? Will we be able to make up for a potentially anemic offense in 2009?
Check back later for a preview of Louisiana-Monroe.

That's good news
But I won’t hold my breath. The NCAA has been known to F with everyone’s heads on stuff like this.

Cautiously Optimistic
While I agree that this is good news, I won’t be comfortable until we get the final word from the NCAA. I think we’ve got a chance to have a really good defense without him, but with him I think it could be a great defense…especially a year from now.
So football season is right around the corner
updates from practice are available…no entries?
