    Just going to say this and you can tell me all about how parents read the boards:

    If you are from Washington with a UW offer and you are leaning to OSU or Oklahoma or Georgia or LSU or some such, in my mind you are a ball-sniffing ring-chasing bitch.

    If you are a hometown guy and the home program is mildly competent you should stay home.

    It gives almost always results in a slight hometown advantage in starting, program offense/defense built around you, playingtime, press attention, off season training support, ect...

    When you go to programs like OSU, Alabama, or Georgia from the NW not only will there be guys that can do what you can but you will always be an outsider and in 50/50 split decisions you will lose to a local guy.
    Washington kids who leave the West Coast almost always have shitty careers. Eason is lucky he transferred, because he would have been beaten out eventually and benched at Georgia.

    That said, Egbuka is the one kid from here who could really shine out of region.
    The sample size of that is small. Any time a player goes somewhere far away the bust rate is higher because if they struggle early, they have no support. I think that is a big factor.

    I said Smalls had bust written all over him if he went anywhere but UW or maybe Oregon. If he went to Clemson or Bama, he would be sixth string, nobody would give a fuck about it, and he wouldn’t know how to deal with it.

    Chest says his @sources are telling him that Emeka is a lean to UW because he has mixed parents.


    Yes, we're still at that talking point

    Where did he say this? How someone would think we had more or less of a chance because of that is idiotic.
    It’s one of his more idiotic takes
