    I think something that would be interesting would be looking at a school's blue chips, and seeing what schools get the highest percentages of those guys to the draft. UCLA is loaded with blue chips, but don't produce equivalent draft picks. Schools like UW get as many or more draftees despite more blue chips. I think a cool graph would be blue chips per class on the x axis, with draftees on the y. It would show what schools develop those guys and which schools do not. UCLA would be an outlier, and not in a good way.

    One chinteresting question is how chip will do In a different culture. At oregon everyone from uncle phil, the state police, student body and the athletic department all the way down to the towel boy were singularly focused on winning. chip benefited from that.

    Does ucla’s culture reflect that laser-focused unwavering determination?

    We've been hearing that Chip doesn't like black players for some tim.

    I don't think Chip is motivated by external shit. The media loves to hate on Chip, I think he's an all-star, but he requires buy-in to unconventional shit. UCLA can't afford to move him, so he'll get a real chance. They are All-in.

    But just like Petersen wasn't "the right fit" for USC, I wonder if that goes for chip at UCLA.


    I'm chinterested.

    Double blow post, but I remember reading an article where Lesean Mccoy was talking about how he made the players wear sleep monitors and super Stalin like control policies.

    He's cutting edge cutthroat looking for any advantage.

    When you're winning, it works, but as soon as you hit a bump the implosion is accelerated.
