    I think Tafiti committed along with Roberts, Morrison, and Megwa.

    Your good friend @sonics1993 said he was concerned with Stanford for Tafiti. Hope you are right.
    Maybe. Just reading the tea leaves. Lake just followed Roberts, Megwa, Morrison, and Tafiti today. They all followed back. Just guessing.
    Wouldn’t it make sense to follow earlier… lake still thinks udub is this highly coveted offer and he can play hard to get like that hot chick in HS that you eventually nailed.

    Win 10 games without just running the damn ball and then pop-off.

    Why are we so good at recruiting defensive tackles... but so shit at recruiting edge talent?

    I've always said it's because of the scheme previously ... it doesn't "speak" to top end edge players.

    If you tell a 5* player "one of your most important responsibilities is setting the edge so it funnels the action towards the middle ... a smaller field makes for a winning team etc ..."

    that 5* player is going to say "fuck that shit ... imma rushing the quarterback and destroying some dude!"

    You have to completely sell the concept to 17/18 year olds and some of those high end players don't want to hear about discipline etc.

    That's why it's easier to sell to players like Tryon that need years to develop. In fact, Tryon and what's his name that got hurt are our biggest selling points. We can tell current prospects that you could be the next Tryon and 1st round pick because the process works.

    Pop on the 2020 ZTF tape and that’ll take care of that.

    I’m going to enjoy when we run the ball right down Sir Smells throat

    Roberts is a real solid get

    Smells probably sells the couch after 2 seasons at UO and ends up at UNLV or Nevada, w/ respect

    Oregon isn't going to sign him, they only offered him to keep him from going here.

    I’m hearing from my @Sources that he is substantially superior to Sir Mells

    Would we say there's a night and day difference between them?
