You assholes are overstating things. I agree generally being "nice" has nothing to do with playing ball.
However, as Coach James said you have to look out for "locker room lawyers." Human Cancers will kill team chemistry and coaching effectiveness.
So, the question is not "is the prospect a good human being" but " is the prospect coachable and a good teammate."
From the sound of it, this kid aint either one.
fuck off with this shit. Sure, you don't want bad kids - but social conformity is much more powerful than you are giving credit for.
If you get 18 perfect OKGs a year and take 2 questionable kids those kids will fall in line.
Same shit with Sirmon. For some reason people tend to be more upset by stories about black kids acting like assholes than white ones. Hmmm...
Yeah, there was nobody here who didn't want Sirmon...
NYBE
Pretty sure that Sven, Roaddawg and stalin (what a group) didn’t want Sirmon
And wasn't it for throwing 18 interceptions against Woodinville not character reasons?
What was that story about Sirmon drawing penises on some kid's notes in class?
It was generally agreed he was an asshole, that's been well documented on these boreds. The chinterceptions played a part for sure. But Sirmon's assholery has been reported and dissected many times out here.

There's a great post on dawgman (rarity, but it happens) detailing the issues with Gee:
Basically his dad hates the UW. Again, this doesn't surprise me as his dad is a loser victim shitball. I'm sure he hates the slow strategy stuff and everything I complain about as 'tone deaf' he takes as a total insult to all black people. I fucking hate Gee Sr. Anyway, Gee Sr is the reason we haven't offered and Gee Jr would be a Dawg if we did (duh). Gee Sr wants his kid to go to SC and Notre Dame because he's a fag.
Anyway, reality or not, AGAIN there is a perception amongst local black people that the UW doesn't like them for whatever reason. AGAIN, this perception was ignored by Pete and seeing Jimmy Lake at Heir yesterday is a good sign that they at least recognize this.
We fucked up the Tre'Shaun recruitment and this shit is going to bite us in the fucking ass if we aren't careful. Do I wish that all parents were normal, rational people? Do I wish that people didn't get sensitive about stupid shit?
Yes.
But the reality is the reality.
We should never lose a big time kid in the area... white people are not really sensitive to this stuff, but trust me... the black community in SEA fucking hates UW. And all this 'we aren't racist, we just love Harleys, hate Rollses and we want kids who do it the right way, and we kicked Marcus Peters and Azeem Victor off the team even though Skinny has an online vid of him passed out on the ground' doesn't help.
There is a reason James ( I know he's dead get over it blah blah blah) went to LA CC and got Warren Moon and made him a three year starter when he really wasn't all that good at the time
He was following Jim Owens and we? had to change the narrative
We do not want a narrative that we want high motor coaches on the field who hit the books and marry the coaches daughter
Hell we might as well root for Wisconsin if that's the case

Was not even a sperm back then, but I thought moon was good his Sr year?

He said "at the time" meaning when James went and got him and made him the starter.
Moon was more like Tui (not in terms of style of play, Tui is a warrior, Moon is a natural athlete) in that he was a playmaker that was frustratingly moronic at times. He was inconsistent with accuracy and some of his ideas, but when he put it all together, he was a thing of beauty.
And if you look at what he became in the NFL, you can see he was headed in the direction of greatness.

There was never a question about his arm. One of the great pure passers of all time.
Just because I like college football means I have to start acting like a bunch of overprivileged meatheads deserve my admiration?
Fuck the dads, fuck our football program and especially fuck the fact that I spend The majority of my free time obsessing over worthless minutiae about a craptacular college football team.

It is what it is. Whether we like it or not.

He was really good in the Rose Bowl. It was actually surprising.
He wasn't drafted - 81% racism and 19% talent or vice versa. Who knows
We had a white guy from a Seattle high school who had thrown 7 TDs against Cal the year before Moon. It took guts to bench him
And if you look at what he became in the NFL, you can see he was headed in the direction of greatness.
