    To be fair, it must suck to recruit to OSU. Your best pitch is "Technically we are a Pac-12 school"

    I don't know if he'd do that much better if he really tried.

    Dennis Erickson seemed to do okay, so it's not impossible with the right guy
    If Leach can get his guys in there at Western Moscow while being on the spectrum I don't really believe there's a school in the Pac12 that can't. It just takes the right guy.

    @Babushka *might be better off differentiating himself in the recruiting game by doing things the old-fashioned way instead of trying to do what everyone else is doing. I mean, how sad would hype videos like what Oregon has on twitter be coming out of Corvallis?

    No twisters, not saying what he's doing is going to work, but you do have to figure out some way to uniquely recruit a place like Oregon State if you ever hope to have any success besides middle of the PAC.

    Fuck that guy, we’ve been through worse

    I remember trying to convince myself chancellor young would be a difference maker.

    That's true but once he leaves schools tend to fumigate the program

    Actually, since I hate hype videos and all that recruiting bullshit, you'd think I would be applauding Babushka for his stance on social media. But he put me through so many angst-ridden Saturdays that I just can't stand him.

    This. Stars matter, but there are so many guys picked in the NFL draft that were basically ignored when they were recruits. It’s harder to win at WSU or OSU, but the right coach can win anywhere.

    “Angst-Ridden Saturdays” would be a great book title.


    Just saying. ;)
    What’s the point? Fetters will just take credit for it in a few years anyway.
    Already on it.
