    This kid has it made! Dad works for Delta so he gets free airfare. He's already hit Utah, Cal, Colorado, USC, UCLA, Vandy, and is at Duke today.

    He says UW, UO, and ND are next in line. Had planned to be here next week but coaches are heading out so he's going to reschedule.

    Grew up in Federal Way, says he still has family and "close friends" there. His mom is close with the family of Alameda Ta'amu.

    Played RB and FB growing up, and I love him.

    My dream class is: Kalepo, Buelow, ElderVimahi and Fautanu.
    We have a realistic shot at this. Prayingdoog.gif

    Plus Lucky Luciano to fill in depth.
    Luciano is fucking fantastic. I just count him in the Kirkland/Norgy/Bain class.

    Please to be taking 4 a year instead of 3 a year Scott Huff.

    Thank you.
    Is that really Huff's call though? I assume Pete is making the calls about how many per position, no?
    I assume Pete makes the call on some level, but Huff only got like 2.5 guys a year at Boise too.

    It's a strategy that is deeply flawed and stupid.
    OL take time to develop. So taking 4 should be a fucking norm

    It's a strategy that works in the MWC when you only need a couple of guys per year to be at the starting level. Doesn't cut it to compete at a power five level.

    Pete's been coming around to the fact that he needs talent that can step in at a high(replacement) level from the start rather than diamond in the rough projects that he can take 2-4 years to develop before starting.

    That class will be surpassed by this one, which will be surpassed by 2020. Huff looks like he might fuck.

    Not so sure 2020 will surpass this one. This year's class could be pretty special.

    You might be right. It's entirely dependent on Myles Murao, but he really likes us. I think Memmelaar, Murao, and Hatchett would edge out Buelow, Kalepo, Fautanu, but it obviously depends on development over the next year.
