Name that assistant coach!

After coming off back-to-back subpar conference seasons, a Pac-12 assistant said he was tasked with convincing one of the nation's top 2015 receiver prospects to come to his program instead of signing with conference rival Oregon. So he dug into his school's statistics to find his program had 1,000-yard receivers four out of the past five seasons and six of the previous eight. He then dug up Oregon's numbers and discovered the Ducks have had nine 1,000-yard rushers and only four 1,000-yard receivers over a 10-season span.

"I really laid it on thick and made it seem like Oregon never throws the football," the assistant said. "I had this kid convinced if he went there he was never going to be a marquee receiver, and if he came to our place, we were going to throw the ball every single play and it was going to be to him. I left out the part where Oregon's quarterback threw for 4,000 yards this season and they've had a quarterback over 2,000 yards every single year for the past 10."

From what I gather everyone negatively recruits to some extent. But Sark & Todd Graham have the biggest reputations for it in the conference.

This looks like an excellent discussion topic to have with yourself over on the Duck Halfbrain board. Or you could post some more recruiting stories to reread and discuss with yourself

Vercingetorix used similar tactics to lure undecided siege engine personnel to his side during the pagan revival in the days of '52. He boasted that his team had more talent per scrupulum than ours did, and claimed that his ballista launchers averaged more cubits per fortnight than Rome's. Uncle Gaius, he claimed, was a one dimensional plebe who was always running his centurions up the middle. History records how the battle of Alesia ended. My dear adopted father fucked Vercingetorix right in the pussy with an air raid assault that would have made Mike Leach's phallus stand at attention.
