    If last year's class is so fucking important, then what'ya gonna do about it? We don't have Jones and we don't have Wright. Unless you can change that, let's move along. Focus on what you can control. What we do have is fucking ballers in these last two classes that we haven't seen yet. I could name some but I don't have that kind of time. What we do have is Joe Tryon. What we do have is Smalls, Huard, Adams, Redman, JTT, ad nauseum coming down the greased goose pipe. Fuckin Christ. We're so confident, we don't even offer Simon or Scott (sarcasm?). Yes we want Bama level classes, but let's be realistic and shoot for top 10 (doable) and develop the fuck out of them, like we have been. Remember, we're in South Alaska without enormous built in advantages like the SEC/traditional schools, after all. On an even playing field, these guys are recruiting top level and getting plenty of their targets, but unless Petersen wants to get real dirty, which he won't, we're never going to recruit at that level. That's how it is. Maybe we would after a championship, but we're gonna have to make that happen first. I'm gonna roll with what the coaches are doing right now and see what's up after this 2019 rumble in the jungle and 2020 class. There are too many unknowns right now to pretend we know what the coaches think they have, need, or want.

    This season is huge. I do know we have playmakers everywhere. LIPO-suction. It's April.

    How do these guys honestly feel special when the Ducks give this same sales pitch
    to like 425 kids each year?

    Although he's promised to stay away, I feel like unconsciously this may be the bat signal that gets Andrew Perceval to make an account just to give us a 4000 word essay—in serious tones—regarding his take about this issue.

    God help us.
    Did you mean 4,000 or 40,000?

    Andrew actually is the person who turned me onto HH when we watched the first Pac 12 championship together. Look at what you have created Andrew.

    I say 400,000 words.
