Green Alert Bonus: 2 More Recruits

There's always a temptation to hold a tasty blog morsel back for the next day against the chance that the next day is a little weak. Ah, but then the newspaper person in me takes hold and I decide I'll use what I've got today and let the other guy worry about tomorrow. (I forget sometimes that I'm now the other guy as well. ;-)

That said, I just stumbled across two more football recruits and decided to share. They are:

• Lane Shipley, 6-2, 245 defensive lineman from Steamboat Springs, Colo.
• Chance Robbins, 6-0, 195 linebacker, Jenks, Okla.
