And your point was "well I did it, so it's not that hard". Different strokes for different folks.Edwin_Bambino said:
Your point had to do with difficulty with time zones - way to move the goal posts - and your previous point was and still is dumbDawgDaze71 said:
Let's file this one as "claim chowder" and discuss after Emeka commits. Honestly I think it's 50/50 with him weighing leaving the state vs staying. It's just a guess. If the UW passing game looks much better and dynamic our odds probably go up.

I think literally nobody makes a decision on where they'll play because of time zones. And two of my kids are going/went to college on the east coast. Distance and difficulty getting home for a weekend or having family come out to watch you play? Sure. Time zones? No.DawgDaze71 said:@RoadDawg55 I think West Coast kids need to understand the difficulty in moving East by two time zones. A 3 hour difference doesn't sound like a lot but for kids that are used to daily communication with family or friends suddenly you find that you can't send those morning texts or calls because your friends/family are sleeping. You're getting ready to go to bed and they're just getting food on the dinner table. I think it's easier for a kid from the East to go West because friends/family back home have already got their day started.
I think Justin Flowe probably came to this realization and decided to stay west.
And before you say it, both of them had comparable academic options in California. So choice has nothing to do with it. -
Yes, and DJ Williams was homesick for the Bay Area when he played at Miami. That was a different time. Technology now makes it very easy to stay in touch with people at home. Kids switching coasts is quite common.DawgDaze71 said:
The last two recruiting cycles Clemson has 2 kids from California. Ngata last year and DJ U this year. Clemson understands the odds are low of getting west coast kids to actually sign and hop on that plane.Baseman said:

Just like we understand. When we had Charles Frederick ...he was homesick for half his stay. He was ready to pack his bags after an argument.
Emeka is not going to Clemson. He comes from a stable family so he's not running from dysfunction. Ohio State is a far as he wants to go and if the UW doesn't have a fucked up offense this year you have a good chance of keeping him home.
