Interesting poll over on the other FIU board. Padrick is leading 7 votes to Burke's 2 and Tabor's 1. True freshman Tavares Kendrick also has 1 vote, I see that it says he is a blue-chip freshman from Homestead Senior HS. What else can anyone tell me about him?

PS looks like you guys have them lined up at QB

Tavares Kendrick (Freshman)
Josh Padrick (Sophmore)
Jamie Burke (Junior)
David Tabor (Senior)

Well if you happen to subscribe to theInsiders.com or rivals.com (im not), there is some info there on him. I think they might have confused the first name of Tavares and Tommy.
