I doubt LMC disagrees, he’s just referring to the narrative that we only took Liu to start the Poly movement. It’s an interesting theory but I think the simplest explanation is we evaluate better than anybody and realized he was underrated at a time we weren’t hitting on our top guys. His race was a bonus if a factor at all.Neighbor2972 said:

But since we’re on the topic, but ummm why did we take Mosiah Nasili-Liu again?Tequilla said:The problem I have is when there is a suggestion that we aren’t recruiting McMillan for a reason tied to race or whatnot ... it’s just dangerous and IMO lazy to use that as a reason
1) We don’t know what the final class looks like and whether he will be in or out
2) If he isn’t at UW, we don’t know where he’s going to end up so let’s see if that materializes
The goal is to compile the best 85 on scholarship as possible ... I don’t honestly care where they come, what their skin color or religion is, how many moms/dads, etc they have. What I care about is that they buy into what Pete is selling and represent the UW well
He's going to be good -
He fit a need and he was good...He was committed to Utah...its not like he didn't have options.LaMichael_Corleone said:

Hey...I hope we can get Dontae in the class but its not like Utah and a bunch of other schools are banging on his door so there is something there...not sure if its skills, injuries, grades, or even may be something dumb like the right classes taken to be college eligible or something. Who knows...but I don't think speculating and bashing the coaching staff on something that is unknown is the best way to spend one's time... -
It’s almost like people here are projecting the qualities of being OKG as being impacted by racial stereotypes, and ignoring how its actually being applied by their background/surroundings....

I’m not saying mosiah isn’t good I like mosiah, but the same reasons to justify taking him should be the same reasons to be upset for not taking tre’shaun.

We offered TreShaun. He didn't want to play the position we offered him at. Unless you're saying we offered Mosiah at OL and caved because he wanted to play DL it's not comparable.LaMichael_Corleone said:I’m not saying mosiah isn’t good I like mosiah, but the same reasons to justify taking him should be the same reasons to be upset for not taking tre’shaun.
You don't really believe we only took Liu because he's Poly. -
Fuck this thread turned into aids. Start a thread about the OKG shit and race. LMC, you admitted the debate you started didn't apply to McMillan. So why is it in his thread? Why the fuck are you bringing up a DL recruit from last year in his thread? Fuck dude. You start some decent discussions and make some points but they're poorly placed/timed.

Like, my opinion man don't matter. But even if we only took him to start the poly movement he was worth it. Maybe since he saw the amount of talent coming in he decided to step it up! Hope he can contribute. Doog fingers crossed!
