CEO Kim Grinolds on Petersen's recruiting

So I got in my car this morning, turned on the radio and I immediately felt my skin crawl. It was the familiar voice of the CEO and he was arguing with Fatters about Petersen's recruiting.
Here's some Cliffs notes on Kim's position:
-Petersen recruits for academics first, athletics second.
-If you take all the kids that could play football for UW, you'd have to immediately disregard half of them because they aren't good enough academically for Pete to consider taking them.
-Pete dropped the offer for Cordell Broadus, one of the top WRs considering UW because "he's Snoop Dawg's son"
-Even though every school has an "OKG model" of some kind, those are all just coach speak whereas in Petersen's case, it is means you pass on gifted athletes for good students and model citizens
Kudos to Fatters for arguing with him USING FACTS on just about every point. Included was the fact that Broadus has made it clear that UCLA and USC are the schools he is choosing between and Pete has stated that he won't waste time and money on kids who are not considering UW.

When F3 is the voice of reason, you know you've got a problem.
Since you don't give a shit about what happens after you turn on the car, I am going to give my cousins a call.
KJVFS...
But I don't like to spread rumors ... so I'll just confirm if they are true when they become public ... I learned that from KJV
If Broadus wasn't related to Snoop he'd probably be committed to SDSU and praying that the Cougs Beavers or Utes would eventually offer him.
Coaches should do this more often. about 1% of the time they swap a guy who told everywhere the location he was going. All pete is doing is realigning resources.

From some pretty decent sources (what I'm hearing) is that she's been in the 2 something GPA range all through HS (and of course there's no honors, AP, much less IB, shit on her transcript).
So you tell me. If they're recruiting 6'4" girls with a 2.3 or whatever GPA to play BB, then nobody whose job (which pays millions) depends on athletes is going to fucking pass on an athlete who qualifies (which is not hard to do).
These fucking stories just make me roll my eyes. Where do they get this stuff? I'd bet my fucking house that Peterman would take a 4 or 5 star kid (or any fucking star kid he liked) who met NCAA quals. Just the fucking way it is.
Kim sucks cock.
Kim Grinolds is a model of courage and bravery telling it like is based on his proven success in this field and in Real Estate.
Good day sir.
