CEO Kim Grinolds on Petersen's recruiting

So I got in my car this morning, turned on the radio and I immediately felt my skin crawl. It was the familiar voice of the CEO and he was arguing with Fatters about Petersen's recruiting.
Here's some Cliffs notes on Kim's position:
-Petersen recruits for academics first, athletics second.
-If you take all the kids that could play football for UW, you'd have to immediately disregard half of them because they aren't good enough academically for Pete to consider taking them.
-Pete dropped the offer for Cordell Broadus, one of the top WRs considering UW because "he's Snoop Dawg's son"
-Even though every school has an "OKG model" of some kind, those are all just coach speak whereas in Petersen's case, it is means you pass on gifted athletes for good students and model citizens
Kudos to Fatters for arguing with him USING FACTS on just about every point. Included was the fact that Broadus has made it clear that UCLA and USC are the schools he is choosing between and Pete has stated that he won't waste time and money on kids who are not considering UW.

Wow, Just Wow.
When F3 is the voice of reason, you know you've got a problem. -
I hope you got in a wreck and SSBIAFF for having your radio tuned to that station when you turn you car on.
Since you don't give a shit about what happens after you turn on the car, I am going to give my cousins a call. -
Didnt we just sign Nate Doggs son? Why would he pull Snoops kids ride?

I'm hearing some things about Nate Dogg's son ...
But I don't like to spread rumors ... so I'll just confirm if they are true when they become public ... I learned that from KJV -
Door. Ass. Out?

Flagged for listening to shitty radio.

The fuck is a radio?

I don't believe that Peterson said any of those things. Let's be real, coaches want the best players and are not going to pass on them because they have some uppity outlook on being an academic. If Peterson thought that way he would be teaching classes on Osmosis. He is a Football "Professor" not a Biology Professor. And he is not Dumb.

I think the reason Pete dropped Broadus is because he's not very good at football. I hope #mybruins eventually follow suit.
If Broadus wasn't related to Snoop he'd probably be committed to SDSU and praying that the Cougs Beavers or Utes would eventually offer him. -
Joking aside, I think Sark loves the idea of Snoop Dawg's son standing on his bench waving the rally towel with the other back ups in the fourth quarter.
