Pete can charm the moms but then the hard ass uncles and cousins will come in and flip that shit back to USC every day of the week. #faithfamilyfootballRaceBannon said:If I am following we are talking two parent families whether both black or mixed.
Where does the single parent family come in? Who do we have that relates to Mom in a single parent situation?
Bobby Bowden could charm them regardless of race.

I agree the true African kids are a huge piece of this puzzle for us. Getting the Ngatas in 2019 and 2020 will be huge. Getting Ali Gaye into school would have been huge as well. Those types will go a long way to supplement #LightSkinU and emerging #PolyU.theknowledge said:I think so. Gordon, Molden, Qualls and Spiker being a good start. I think the key to doing this at UW will be the ability to secure and develop/motivate high end Poly kids. Pepper in straight outta the Congo African kids and every local and elite full Afro-Americans and we have a real shot. As I stated earlier on the original FS/SS thread it will also take an ELITE transcendent QB to take it all over the top. Last years team with Deshaun Watson is a legit title threat.
What we think of as a 'RACE' is a combination between a phenotype (physical appearance) and cultural context. For instance, it would be really weird to tell two Nigerians that Igbos are Yorubas are 'the same'. They are 'different'. And it's mostly about cultural context.
The other thing - to not get overly eugenic here - what we think of as 'black people' in the US are largely WEST AFRICANS. You don't see a bunch of fucking Kenyans and shit disproportionately tearing up major athletic events. However West Africans (which are what America has the most of - unfortunately through slavery) tend to tear shit up.
No one fully knows why.
So, for us - and for Stanford - getting West African kids is a big deal. Stanford has made a living off West African dudes. Owusu is one of the most common names in Ghana for instance.
West Africans in this country are generally (this is complicated like anything else, but IN GENERAL) like any other immigrant group in that they prize education as a means to success and is usually one of the primary reasons to have emigrated in the first place. Hence why I can't easily pronounce half the last names on Stanford's roster at any one time.
If you ever want to check where a name is from, I suggest using this database: http://forebears.io/surnames -
