BTFD
Great day to be a Cat as Stanley Johson has picked Arizona. He was a 'must get' for us with some possible early departures after this season. BTFD SJ and welcome to the fam!
But seriously good pick up.
ESPN is a company that was purchased by Disney over a decade ago. Ever since then they are very transparent in their corporate goals. They all about synergy, and cross promotions. They own the rights to broadcast SEC Football and ACC basketball? Guess what? that means they are going to print articles on their website about those conferences 10 times more than they do articles about Fox-Sports-broadcasted conferences... because they are attempting to drive viewership and therefore revenue to their parent corporation. Mickey is very, very hungry.
As far as the Pac12 QBs go, Hundley gets press because he is a very good football player, the same for Mariota. These are the two Pac12 QBs who get the most national attention, because they are two of the top NFL prospects. Kelly is playing well, but he isn't even one of the top-5 rated QBs in the conference:
(National Ranking)
Mariota (7)
Mannion (15)
Hundley (20)
Price (22)
Hogan (35)
Kelly (38)
Kessle (40)
Its just because he plays for UCLA he wont be a good NFL qb. Not saying Kelly will, but that bull shit quarterback rating is so far from the truth.
"Just because he plays for UCLA he won't be a good NFL qb" = Incredibly ignorant butchering of the transitive property.
Quarterback Rating = Based on fact.
It is so hard to pick, Such a tough choice for people to ponder:... the opinion of an 18 year old Junior College student? or that of the facts... hmmm
I hope we can still land Justice, if not then no biggie... we're still so stacked.
