Long before Rivals and Scout hit the recruiting scene, there was today’s guest for ‘Five questions’.

Tom Lemming, national football recruiting analyst for CSTV and CSTV.com, has been one of the country's top football recruiting authorities for almost three decades. Here's Lemming’s bio:

Recognized as the country’s leading expert on college football recruiting and high school talent, Tom Lemming joined CSTV in June 2005 and serves as the host of “Tom Lemming’s Generation NEXT,” the only national weekly high school football recruiting show. Lemming, who logs 55,000 miles a year, also provides analysis of the top prep players in the country on CSTV.com, Lemming is also the editor of Prep Football Report, considered to be the “Bible of the football recruiting industry” and annually selects the team for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Lemming has been a recruiting analyst for nearly 30 years. Over his career, Lemming's analyses and rankings of the country's leading high school athletes have been regularly featured in national publications, including USA Today. He recently was profiled in the just published book Football’s Second Season about recruiting and Lemming’s long journey.

Lemming took time from his ridiculously busy schedule to answer five questions (via e-mail) about UM football recruiting.
