The OKG Shit

Is really fucking stupid. Titus Young is a bi polar schizophrenic. He's not anyone's "kind of guy." He is however, a great football player. In 2010. Boise State had 16 players who had been arrested in the past 5 years. That was right up near the top for teams ranked in the top 25.

Some on doogman and even on here seem to think Petersen is only going to recruit choir boys, and won't be going after talented players with baggage. OKG is just a coach's philosophy. It seems similar to Don James' 10 tough questions. Not every player on Don James' teams was a good guy, and not every player on Petersen's team will be either. A lot of it is fucking lip service for the lower ranked guys in a class. I doubt Napolean Kaufman's answers to 10 tough questions actually mattered. They wanted him because he was really fucking fast and an explosive playmaker. If Joe Mixon or another 5 star from the West Coast wants to come here, the OKG shit will go right out the window.

Petersen's not going to want the same guy's Sark did, but that's not rare. After the 4 and 5 star guys, most coaches recruit certain guys who fit schemes. We didn't have a great class to begin with. All of this bitching is fucking stupid.

    Water is Wet, Petersen wants talented guys but looks at lower level guys differently than Sark

    OKG has nothing to do with character or baggage. It just means coachable kids.

    You have to be SarkFS to recruit guys who aren't going listen.

    Back when Race and iDawg(RIP) used to do podcast I remember Race telling iDawg you don't want a coach who can do more with less, you want a coach who can do more with more.

    For the first time since James, we have a coach who can possibly do that. He can coach up the lower tier kids into something like James did with an Emptman but he can also land and then coach up high talented kids like James did with a Lincoln Kennedy.

    Good post. Yeah pretty sure the OKG is some coach speak/marketing bs that was fed to the Bronco fans to make them feel better about only landing shitty looking recruits.
    Everybody seems to be expecting us to only recruit 2 stars farm boys. Come on...

    Pete coined the OKG phrase and while other coaches don't use the acronym, every one of them looks for OKGs that fit their particular system. Moreover, there's subjectivity to it as an OKG to Sark might not be the same for Pete. Also, coach Pete has a master's in educational psychology...after learning more about him and his "way" over the last couple of weeks and seeing how he goes about his business running a program, it seems like many of his moves apply principles learned in school back in the day (and perhaps this "OKG" stuff is one of them...kinda feels like it).

    Bottom line: the dude is wily and wicked sharp...stoked he's our coach.

    From Petersen's press conference:
    "We talk about recruiting OKG's, our kind of guys that are great character kids, awesome football players, interested in a world class degree, all those things fit."
    People seem to get hung up on the fact that he mentioned "great character kids" and completely forget that he also said "awesome football players." He's not some idiot who wants to pass on great football players. He didn't do that at Boise and he won't do that at UW.

    That's exactly what it is. Never understood why peoples have been so cranked up about another throw-away coach slogan from the drop. Win The Day, Win Forever, I'm On A Boat, they all have their own. CP might be able to back it up tho.

    It's like the retarded "Patriot Way" shit.

    People think Belicheck goes for character guys/team players but in reality he's just getting the best players possible. If you can get thugs to help you win games then get thugs.

    See Hernandez, Aaron for an example.

    True.

    I would say every coach has HKG ... someone who fits the mold better than another player, maybe more athletic player.

    That is what makes a 3* perform better than a 5* in certain systems.

    Petersen basically said things are going to be fucked up until I can get my staff in ...

    Passion needs to take some pressure up the middle and heat from the side and relax a little.

    Hello partners. Boise ain't like no school boy U-district or uppity Seattle downtown. We have a very popular club strip that's across the river within walking distance of BSU's campus where the blues is performed as good as any place and where urban yuppies and swells mix with cowboys and sodbusters and where the smells of gourmet food, beer and wine mingling with cowshit caked on boots, hayseed, and fertilizer can be overpowering in Summer heat. These sometimes overcrowded clubs are not friendly places for Bronco heros of the gridiron glory variety, especially if they be African American out-of-towners brought up from California on scholarship.

    From media reports, the blues clubs have always been off-limits to Petersen's student-athletes, but..... well, boys will be boys and many of the highly publicized arrests over the 10 years I've been here are of the barroom altercation kind. Boise has some strange ordinances governing night life, one of which is that its a mandatory assault charge, arrest, and minimum one day in jail for anybody who puts an opponent in a fistfight in the hospital, regardless of circumstances. You all can imagine what fun and sport it is for drunk cowboys and sodbusters to put black football playing Broncos in jail by picking a fight or causing an altercation because the chances are damn good the dumb fuck is going to the hospital.

    I love high ranked recruits. I love a coach who develops players over their time at the school

    Abundance

    James won a lot of games by developing lower rated recruits. He won a national title developing higher ranked recruits.

    Petersen is our best chance to have both since James left. It's not a sure thing, nothing is, but it's the best news we have had in years.

    How many high 4-5* recruits (if the fucktard star system were available then) do you think were on that '91defense Race? Back then few programs wanted Empterman, Fields, Mason (definite DJ recruit), D. Jones, Pahokua, Fraley, Hall, JC Bailey.   Hoffman, Tommie Smith, Farr, would have been high ranked guys. Tso put that shit to rest . Yes James wanted a few nasty brothers from the hood. Good for him. Like D Smith lining coke up on chicks bellies and getting pinched. Big deal. but James won a national title developing 3 stars. A few bloods from the hood helped out

    Reign I hope Peterlips gets a top 45 class. He's going to win big next year and recruiting will improve. But I want to see doogies here and dawgman squeal
