    IF Klemm doesn't get fired at UCLA ... who knows what chance we'd have pulling Kirkland away at the last minute.

    Whether you like Kirkland or not, this is one that probably should have been ironed away a while back given how this process has gone for OL recruiting. We knew, or should have known, we were going to miss on most of our targets at least 1-2 months ago.

    No reason that there shouldn't have been at minimum a contingent offer made a while back with Kirkland that if A and/or B doesn't happen, that he has a committable offer. For a legacy kid, that's probably a relatively easy sell.

    it's possible that existed all along and was kept silent

    It is possible ... but the timing is definitely head scratching.

    Talk about limping across the finish line. Fuckin' A

    Sort of disagree on this.

    I separate them. At DL, obviously losing Marlon is a fucking nightmare disaster.

    However, at OL, I love this kid and if/when we add Ford too... this has turned into a really, really good OL class.
    I was referencing Marlon, Sarrell, and our struggle to get Ford.

    Are we sacrificing our Dline for Oline. I think our Oline will get pretty good in 18 with all these players coming up, especially if Trey Adams stays.

    Biggins interviewed him and he said "it's my dream offer" re: the UW offer. He just visited WSU, he's going to Oregon tomorrow, and UW visits him Wednesday. Obviously he's looking around.

    Could be Ford is headed to Utah or it could be that UW knows that someone on o line is leaving

    Or we are taking 4 OL this year because we have a lot of poo emoji's sitting in our depth chart right now that we may not have high hopes of panning out.

    Hope his old man taught him how to "work out properly". Never ever saw a guy go from a mediocre, 218 pound heavyweight wrestler as a JR, to a 275 pound, totally stacked, Brock Lesnar looking undefeated state champ as a SR like Dean did.
