    Just went back and listened to the full interview. The reason he said this was because Softy asked him (paraphrased) "You get asked a lot about the 'highly rated' guys like Kaho, but what about some of the guys that people aren't talking about?" He then complemented Sirmon AND Tafisi. This had nothing to do with praising the try hard white dude over the 5 star, it was literally the question Softy asked.
    Really misleading tweet, then. Thanks for listening to Softy so I don't have to.

    When asked the same question about his first class, Petersen said the same thing about Gaines.

    I know I’m biased because I played against his dad, but I think he’ll be maybe the best of the three.

    Sirmon is fucking good.

    He’s a 4-Star 6-2, 220 ILB with a dad who was a pro football player. He’s got a huge frame and really smooth movement and quick feet. Really good instincts and closes quick. That description of anyone is superlative.

    Just because he’s white doesn’t mean he sucks.

    Some of my favorite players are white. I used to fucking idolize Tim Meamber. I grew up a Husky fan in the 80s, if I had something against white people I would have hated our team. But I didn’t. We had some incredible players who were white and I loved. Paul Skansi, Curt Marsh, Jimmy Rodgers was a big favorite.

    I just hate “white players”. Let’s not act like people don’t get the difference between Tim Meamber and BBK.

    Sirmon is way closer to TM than he is BBK.
