THE PAC12 THREAD v.4

[Not Neutral]

There are worse things than powder blue and gold Unis



I live in Atlanta, and I'd take Phoenix's summer over this one any day of the week.

Amen. Humidity high here today, 32%.

True, having a teddy bear for a mascot like UCLA does is worse than powder blue and gold uni's.

I don't like either which is why I don't live in either of those places.

Born in Phoenix and lived in Florida for nearly 3 years. So, I'm familiar with both.

It's really a choice between melting or turning to dust any time you go outside.

AC takes care of the temperature. Not so much on the humidity.

It's monsoon season right now, so temps have been in the 90's and with humidity. Sticky and miserable. I'll be glad when it goes back to 10% humidity and 115 degrees.

Or better yet, ready for winter.

To be fair, we have a pretty ghey mascot too, evidently the NCAA frowns upon having a live mountain lion pacing the sidelines.

3-star TE/LB Cade Otton (Olympia, WA) has committed to Washington. His offers included BYU, Nebraska, Oregon St. and Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale.

Expect him to develop primarily as a OLB for the Huskies. His listed at 6'5" and 220+ going into his senior year.

 

[SUBuddha]

Not football related but what the hell. Oh and I am outing myself I guess.

Things are heating up nicely with the recruitment of 4-star CB Elijah Molden (West Linn, OR) whose rated as the #2 player out of the state this year.

Considered recently a two horse race between Stanford and Oregon. Well he took an unofficial to Washington this weekend and announced they are now joining as a Top 3 giving tons of praise to what DB coach Jimmy Lake has built at Montlake into one of the top collections of DBs in the nation.

He plans to take officials to all three schools in Sept and Oct during game weekends. Also expect some offers from other P5 big boys outside the PAC coming his way this fall.

So you're saying USC should give him a call.lol

 

[RegentDenali]

So you're saying USC should give him a call.lol

Well the past two draft classes, you landed

5-star Iman Marshall (.9877) who was the #1 CB recruit in the nation in 2015
4-star Ykili Ross (.9587) who was 8th.
4-star Isiah Langley (.9533) who was 10th.

5-star (.9853) Jack Jones who was #3 CB recruit in the nation in 2016

Are you sure you want him?
Your current top CB targets for the 2017 class include:
5-star Jeffrey Okudah (.9951)
4-star Deangelo Gibbs (.9795)
4-star Jamyest Williams (.9714)

etc, etc....

I mean he's only the 22nd rated CB in the nation. While of course USC has offered, it would appear the offer was more of a "don't call us, we'll call you in January if we *gasp!!!* wiff on one of those"?

Then USC would be in like flint

Five star guys are usually a hit. Four star kids are no guarantee. Iman is the real deal. Ykili redshirted and Langley had 12 tackles all season. So while what you listed sounds impressive it's still hit and miss. Targets don't mean squat either. USC has many players on the wish list just like every other school and those kids all have up to ten schools they are considering. Last season you could have had a bunch of five star QBs USC had as "targets" with USC missing on all of them.

That seems to be the way almost anyone lands a SC recruit, is they end up not having numbers. The only one in my lifetime I can remember than SC went after and didn't get was Teo. Our program was destroyed partly due to SC. SC was in on all these 4 star guys from California but Doba and crew thought they swindled them away but come to find out those recruits either were on the verge or jail, had drug problems or weren't even eligible to graduate from HS. One of our greatest receivers Michael Bumpus was a Trojan until signing day and they landed I think Jarrett then told him they didn't have room, so the only team that stayed at the dish bowl was us.

He'll take Stanford offer for many reasons.

If USC can get some coaching to match its recruiting. we'll have an elite team back in the PAC.

You don't follow recruiting much if you think Teo was the only player USC went after and didn't get.
