    Obviously I wanted him at UW, and I still wouldn't have been TOO pissed if he chose OU. But Ohio State? Fuck that kid.

    We Bob Gregory’s still on the staff.

    Jimmy will be gone in 4 years.

    Exactly...and Scott Huff will be HC. Jimmy’s not the problem.

    I'm honestly surprised by how little losing this kid affected me. In the time since I've been following recruiting, this is probably the 10th or 11th "cant miss, program changer, local kid that we HAVE to get".

    Let's see, before Emeka there was Smalls, before Smalls there was Eason, before Eason there was Fozzy, before Fozzy there was Kasen/ASJ, before Kasen/ASJ there was Garnett/Banner. Before Garnett/Banner there was Heaps/Brown, before them there was Jonathon Stewart, and way back there was Reggie.

    I'm sure I'm forgetting some in there and there are also guys like Joe Ngata that werent in state but had a connection to the program. We went through this same thing with all those guys.

    Emeka and JTT may end up being better than all those guys but I'm more worried about the relative shittiness of the REST of our class than those 2 guys. Not getting a blue chip db, taking another lay-up RB recruit, taking only 2 linemen (one of which is a project), taking 2 guys that are walk-on level, taking an edge rusher who has never played varsity football, taking only 1 ILB that can't keep his grades up or weight down. Those are all way bigger to me than not getting this years "local program changer"

    See this above until cows come home.

    There are songs written about how bad this class is. You can figure 50% attrition rate for any freshman grop that comes in by time they are seniors (start with 20 ten will be left). Of those 70-80% will be starters. I will go with 80% here b/c of the value Pete and Lake puts on them = 8

    This class is going to end with 16 which means 8 will be still be around so his margin for error before they even walk in the door as a group on day 1 is 0.0000000%. Factor in how poor, and how many reaches there appear to be, and Jimmy better hit a grand slam in the next two classes.

    Some of you need a mental health coach

    I have one already
    You either need to fire that one or call in a second.
