Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Kent Griswold locks Fink Vs. Eason thread
Kent Griswold has made it a point to defend Eason no matter what. His crush on Eason is almost getting to the same level as his crush for Johnny Durocher and Will Conroy.
Here's Kent's quote defending Eason:
"Like I said, the staff has a responsibility to correct things that are being said that aren't true, especially about recruits.
Consider yourself corrected."
Kent then promptly locks the thread so no one can respond.

A) Eason and his "camp" were annoyed the Petersen waited to actually watch him throw a football before offering him a scholarship so he committed to Georgia.
This scenario makes Eason come off like a Bieber-like petulant child who has a posse following him around making decisions for him and got mad at Petersen because he didn't get enough attention. Hence, Kent has to start attacking posters because Petersen comes out looking good in this situation and the player, not so good
Eason committed to Georgia because they made him an offer that they wouldn't take another QB in the 2015 class, making it very likely that Eason would come in and start right away
This scenario, which is probably the closest to being correct, does no damage to Petersen so it has been put by the wayside.
C) Eason was set to commit to Sark but then Sark left and the new staff dropped the ball
This scenario, which was pedaled out of the blue a week ago, is completely uncorroborated and makes no sense because Eason doesn't seem to show any interest in USC. You'd think if he loved Sark and staff so much he would at least give them a glance.
If you want to see more hilarious angry Grinolds, go to the thread about Shaq Thompson's draft status. Grinolds claims that in no point in the history of football would a GM draft a kid for a position that's not his #1 choice (Shaq as a RB rather than an OLB). Another poster keeps throwing examples back at Grinolds and he keeps dismissing them as not being the same. You can tell he gets more and more angry each time because he starts throwing in personal attacks like" you really don't understand this" and "there, are we good now or do you want to keep going?" and then at the end, "I do this for a living so I know a little bit about it"
Also, It only really hurts hurts when you lose a recruit to a school in the Pac (think Miles Jack licking his fingers while staring down Sark after going in dry repeatedly on national television). And you know who was a can't miss QB? Mariota. And we missed him, but it was cool because Derrick Brown took his spot.
It's not that difficult. Recruits all suck until the coaches make them not suck.
Or were they good and not want to keep going?

"So you're going to equate Shaq to the situation of a 7th round draft pick.......
Do I really need to explain things or are we good?"
Then the poster gave another example. Kim's response:
"Do I need to explain the difference between a 4th round and first round pick?
There's not a GM in the league who will draft Shaq to play RB. But if you'd like to make a wager, I'm in ;-)"
and finally:
"I do this for a living ;-)
I'm still open to the wager "
At this point, someone else said something along the lines of Kim being able to text John Clayton to ask him.
Kim responded with
"Or I got a call saying " who the hell is (original poster's name)?"
The Seahawks also had that college bball player from Bradley about 10/15 years ago. And Antio Gates and Stephen Neal have had solid NFL careers despite not being drafted for their primary positions (power forward and wrestler).
