    The only scenario I’m concerned about is Lake taking off in January

    Replacing Jimmy with Gearld Alexander needs to start being seen as a positive. GA is the missing link to translating to fast strategy kids. He is the model of LA black fast strategy guys using the slow strategy and structure of Pete’s program to start a family and make six figures doing what he loves all because he used football as an avenue to get out. He will relate to a lot more people who we haven’t had much of a shot at.
    Again with this. GAs recruiting performance at Cal the last 3 years runs in deep contrast to the narrative that this message bored has created for him.

    Maybe he'd blow up if he came here but it's funny how the people who scream the loudest about recruiting results are enamored by this guy who has not signed a single blue chip recruit in 3 years.
    Should we live in a world where we think Jimmy is going to be here forever or should we look at his situation realistically and be ready to always improve?


    Not once in my post did I say Jimmy wasn’t good or getting the job done.
    I'm not suggesting you said Jimmy Lake wasnt hood. Merely pointing out that the Gerald Alexander recruiting God mythos is, as of yet, unfounded
    He’s done a very good job at Cal and proven he can develop players. I know it’s Cal, but I haven’t noticed Cal beating out better schools for recruits.
    He did snag Trey Paster right from under our noses.

    Angulo:

    “A source close to the recruitment tells me that although some have speculated Covington could be nearing a decision, it likely won't happen before he takes his remaining official visits. Three visit spots are open after the 6-foot-1, 193-pound prospect took officials to Oklahoma and Washington this off-season.

    Oregon and Texas A&M are looking highly likely to draw trips, with the Aggies set to host Covington on the Sept. 21 weekend, and he could also get out to either LSU or USC.

    "No decision is coming soon," the source tells 247Sports. "Jacobe still has some visits set up for this fall and it doesn't make sense to make a commitment before seeing every option."

    Because we chose Smith instead.
    Never change.
    In this case I think he's right. Compare Smith's offer sheet with Paster's. Even with limited film he appears to be the better prospect.

    I actually think you're right on this one.

    When it comes to Spokane, North Central is hood AF. Jimmy and Ryne Sandberg from some mean streets.
    Thats my school! Interesting enough it was a pretty chill school without major rivalry amongst different groups when I went there.
