    Kelee is fucking good, but I think our chances with him are less than 20%.

    Lake isn't Lambo - Kwat is Lambo. Or - to be fair to Kwat, Kwat is Solich, prolly - but you get my point.

    Lake wants to be a HC and he should. I just don't want him to be a HC at USC or Oregon.

    The reality is, USC makes a lot of sense for him...

    I'm just hoping they cock up the hire and get Jeff Fisher or Jack Del Rio.

    Being a HC is mostly about being a CEO. I don't have close enough knowledge to evaluate whether Jimmy is a good CEO or not. He's a fucking great position coach (though pretty much everyone looks like a great position coach under Pete) and he's a really good recruiter.

    I'm not afraid of Cristobal's recruiting machine, though. Teams that recruit amazing are annoying because they can randomly whip your ass when they have a 'good game' (see us vs. USC 2016), but generally guys who are 'great recruiters' end up like Sark and Kiff did at USC... "you brought in all this talent, why are you getting beat by the 7th place team in the conference?!?!"

    See - I don't JUST care about recruiting.

    We aren't getting Kelee unless Sav'ell commits early and dedicates his life to recruiting him.


    what an interesting and quick way to kill my morning boner

    I am confused about Ringo.

    He's come up to fsp to train and bond more than a few times on his own dime (well, not sure how that was arranged but that's none of my business)

    He genuinely seems to understand that it makes sense to be around the fsp/UW universe.

    I would hope that mom can see the long game.

    The wildcard is having the nfl-ready narrative of Jimmy lake.

    If Murphy and Rapp (and the others) kill it at the combine and draft and the likes of budda/shaq/king/smfj are tweeting and reaching out to croots then this will make it blood pressure raising for coker and ddy.

    Combine with idea of Huard slinging it against them in practice (even though he's a '21 kid) and iron sharpens iron.

    Then of course when Kyle Ford and bru mccoy transfer portals to UW after their first year then all the better. Right? Right?!

    The only way we get him is if Sav'ell makes it his mission and somehow we can convince his mom that UW is going to be good for her kid.

    I really hope we see Byron and Taylor go 1-2 for DBs, it would definitely help.
    They're not going 1-2. Byron has what, maybe a 40% shot of being the first? He's probably the favorite but you almost always have to take the field, it's not like he's seen as some can't miss, top 5 DB type. I think Rapp makes it into the first round but I don't think it's likely he makes it all the way to the #2 DB.

    If we need them going 1-2 to get Kelee, #HeGone.
