The first play is Gary Bryant versus Elias Ricks and Bryant blows past Ricks with ease. Ricks is overrated. WDWHA.

Lol Kevin King gets taken with the second pick of the 2nd round but the first offer Jimmy Lake gives isn’t good enough for us.

Happens all the time. Early offers don't always mean we would take the kid later in the process. Jeremiah Criddell, Josh Delgado, Noah Nelson, Daniyel Ngata, etc. I wouldn't want Ricks over Paster or Hector.

So if for some random reason Ricks decided to flip to UW tomorrow, you wouldn't take his committment until you see what Paster and Hector want to do? Plan B recruit huh?

Did he just seriously compare this kid to Josh Delgado?

As shitty a recruiting coordinator as Bhonapha is I'd still keep him over SAC.

He also tried to imply that we didn't want Ngata. In a WR class that was busted before we snagged Puka.

I’ve been following recruiting since before SAC was born. Back when you’d have to search for the Best in the West, pay Don James’ son in law, or wait until Porn Stache told you who you signed at the MAC dinner. Elias Ricks is as good of a CB as the West Coast has ever produced.

I don’t give a fuck what he did in shorts, I’ve seen what he did at Mater Dei. Gets thrown at twice in a game, takes both back for TDs. But he’s not as good as a WR in a drill, so he’s a pass.

And what makes SAC’s comments worse is that as far as being a Jimmy Lake cover 3 CB, this is his fantasy prospect. More than Kelee or Isaac Taylor-Stuart.

Lol imagine going to a school that doesn’t play your style of defense that you thrive in just for the clout and a shitty bag when you have money

 

[Ballz]

He's not that good. He doesn't have smooth hips. I'd take most of the corners already on our roster over him. He'll be a 3rd round pick. Isaac Taylor Stuart is struggling to win a starting job at USC by the way and they have no depth. The 5-star Cali corners are always overrated. Biggie Marshall says hi.

If SAC ever played football, or cut up film, or anything remotely connected to football he’d know that for a DB the number one thing is recognize and react. That’s why guys who run 4.6s can cover 4.3 WRs.

I thought Troy Hill would be a major bust, ran 4.72 or some shit when Oregon was timing his as a freshman. But he had great instincts, gets NFL money, and that’s just a natural thing that happens in your brain: seeing where the guy is going and where the ball can go. Adjusting the body to prevent that. You have to meet a minimum threshold of speed, but as a CB its all about reaction. Ricks has that. Good luck to him in the SEC or at USC, so - break a leg, etc.
