Columbia Football: Our (VERY UNOFFICIAL) Commitment List So Far...

Before you read this list, I want to repeat my policy on listing verbally committed recruits. EVERYONE listed below has publicly said they are coming to Columbia in a local paper or other publication. All other leads, rumors, etc. are not put here or allowed in the comments section for many, many good reasons... one of which: the Athletic Department may kill me.

And as the title of this post clearly states, this is an UNOFFICIAL LIST, because you still can't believe what you read in the papers.
