The other blue-chipper who's still out there is Antoine Womack, a tailback from Hampton, Va., who is OK academically. He was wavering between Penn State and Virginia. The deadline to sign a letter of intent was April 1. If nothing was signed by then, a player still can sign a scholarship tender with a school. But that doesn't bind him to the school; it only prevents him from signing with another school in the same league.
