Kelee is fucking good, but I think our chances with him are less than 20%[/b].
Lake isn't Lambo - Kwat is Lambo. Or - to be fair to Kwat, Kwat is Solich, prolly - but you get my point.
Lake wants to be a HC and he should. I just don't want him to be a HC at USC or Oregon.
The reality is, USC makes a lot of sense for him...
I'm just hoping they cock up the hire and get Jeff Fisher or Jack Del Rio.
Being a HC is mostly about being a CEO. I don't have close enough knowledge to evaluate whether Jimmy is a good CEO or not. He's a fucking great position coach (though pretty much everyone looks like a great position coach under Pete) and he's a really good recruiter.
I'm not afraid of Cristobal's recruiting machine, though. Teams that recruit amazing are annoying because they can randomly whip your ass when they have a 'good game' (see us vs. USC 2016), but generally guys who are 'great recruiters' end up like Sark and Kiff did at USC... "you brought in all this talent, why are you getting beat by the 7th place team in the conference?!?!"
See - I don't JUST care about recruiting.
We aren't getting Kelee[/b] unless Sav'ell commits early and dedicates his life to recruiting him.
what an interesting and quick way to kill my morning boner
The only way we get him is if Sav'ell makes it his mission and somehow we can convince his mom that UW is going to be good for her kid.
I really hope we see Byron and Taylor go 1-2 for DBs, it would definitely help.
They're not going 1-2. Byron has what, maybe a 40% shot of being the first? He's probably the favorite but you almost always have to take the field, it's not like he's seen as some can't miss, top 5 DB type. I think Rapp makes it into the first round but I don't think it's likely he makes it all the way to the #2 DB.
If we need them going 1-2 to get Kelee, #HeGone.
Byron will be the first DB taken. Take screenshots if you want to. The only thing he's got against him is that the NFL sees him as a mostly zone corner, but he's the best DB in the class and it's not even close.
Greedy can't play the run. Baker is an average athlete. Deionte Thompson is hurt and played like shit vs. Clemson. Abram is overrated AF. Ya-Sin and JJ Williams are good but they're not going that high.
The only guy I could see maybe[/i] go over Byron is Nasir Adderley, but he's a small-school player and a safety so that's a long shot.
I follow the draft and I'm rarely a homer about these types things and I'd still be fucking shocked if Byron isn't the first DB taken.
