For those of you who haven't been crossing off days on your calendars counting down to the start of training camp, after today, there are only three more days without football in Piscataway.

Players report Thursday, with a press conference scheduled for 3 p.m. with Greg Schiano, and the 2007 Scarlet Knights will hit the practice field for the first time as a team on Friday afternoon.

While you're waiting for camp to start, a few notes:

• Here's a link to a story I wrote a couple weeks back in The Trentonian about my conversation with ESPN college football analysts Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Speilman.
• The Knights got a verbal commitment late Saturday night from Manasquan High School offensive tackle Art Forst, a consensus top 5 New Jersey recrut who, at 6-feet-8 and 305 pounds, gives the Knights some serious size at tackle in 2008. I'm doing my best to get the story I wrote in today's paper online so I can put up a link.
• The Trentonian's 16-page, full color college football preview special section will be in the paper on Aug. 24. It'll be packed with stories and information on Rutgers and the Big East, and feature staff picks for conference and national champions, along with The Trentonian's national rankings.

That's it for today. Enjoy the Phils and Cubs.
