Apart from like 80% of Americans. You're probably being sarkasmic, but still.

TUG TALK WARNING but as a late millennial doog, about 1 in 20 people I know are actually religious, and I'm being generous with that number. I have a sibling that was at Eastside Catholic pretty who says that even there at least half of kids there aren't... most just go through the motions for their parents' sake.

I'd say Religious belief in in sharp decline in metro areas especially on the West coast and especially amongst white people. It's still strong as ever in rural communities, in the south, and amongst ethnic communities (mainly black and hispanic).

Welcome to the 1880's?
"The Madman. Have you ever heard of the madman who on a bright morning lighted a lantern and ran to the market-place calling out unceasingly: "I seek God! I seek God!" - As there were many people standing about who did not believe in God, he caused a great deal of amusement. Why! is he lost? said one. Has he strayed away like a child? said another. Or does he keep himself hidden? Is he afraid of us? Has he taken a sea-voyage? Has he emigrated? - the people cried out laughingly, all in a hubbub. The insane man jumped into their midst and transfixed them with his glances. " Where is God gone?" he called out. "I mean to tell you! We have killed him, - you and I! We are all his murderers! But how have we done it? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the whole horizon? What did we do when we loosened this earth from its sun? Whither does it now move? Whither do we move? Away from all suns? Do we not dash on unceasingly? Backwards, sideways, forewards, in all directions? Is there still an above and below? Do we not stray, as through infinite nothingness? Does not empty space breathe upon us? Has it not become colder? Does not night come on continually, darker and darker? Shall we not have to light lanterns in the morning? Do we not hear the noise of the grave-diggers who are burying God? Do we not smell the divine putrefaction? - for even Gods putrefy! God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him! How shall we console ourselves, the most murderous of all murderers? The holiest and the mightiest that the world has hitherto possessed, has bled to death under our knife, - who will wipe the blood from us? With what water could we cleanse ourselves? What lustrums, what sacred games shall we have to devise? Is not the magnitude of this deed too great for us? Shall we not ourselves have to become Gods, merely to seem worthy of it? There never was a greater event, - and on account of it, all who are born after us belong to a higher history than any history hitherto!" - Here the madman was silent and looked again at his hearers; they also were silent and looked at him in surprise. At last he threw his lantern on the ground, so that it broke in pieces and was extinguished. "I come too early," he then said, "I am not yet at the right time. This prodigious event is still on its way, and is travelling, - it has not yet reached men’s ears. Lightning and thunder need time, the light of the stars needs time, deeds need time, even after they are done, to be seen and heard. This deed is as yet further from them than the furthest star, - and yet they have done it!"
Interpretive note:
The key here is that the madman is carrying a lantern in the daytime. His message is already known, even if no one has realized the consequences of it.

Dude, paragraphs. It’s not hard.
 
I guarantee he transfers if he commits to Ohio State. Halfway across the country and no Poly community? He will get homesick fast.

It all comes down to how much more Ohio State is willing to pay his coach. Luckily for Ohio State, they will be in a bidding war against themselves.

USC is more of a threat than tOSU imo. This poly momentum can’t hurt though. I really want to be wrong about Ikaika.

He gets to start right away if he comes here, I hope that's enough to get him here.

He’s not beating out Levi and Jaylen Johnson. Add Potoa’e possibly inside and Bronson, and the other upper class JAG’s... It’s probably 50/50 he redshirts.

Agreed. And that's not even factoring in Tremblay (prayingdog.jpg).

If he wants to start as a freshman, he's looking at the wrong schools.

I don't think he'd redshirt, but he'd also not start. I think we'd see a pretty similar season to what Levi did this year. He'll play a lot and do some good things. I think he would be on our second team with Bronson/Bowman/McCoy etc.
 
This is the dumbest combination between 'he already made his mind up a long time ago that he wants to go to UW' and 'they are getting all these Poly guys to recruit him!'.

The kid is incredible. We shall see.

That’s total nonsense. Jaylen and Levi are all conference caliber players next year, and there’s still a really good chance Gaines comes back. And who knows what’s in the depth, but with this defense there’s always someone unexpected who will emerge. Shit, if early playing time is one of Togiagi’s top pieces of criteria (it’s probably not) then that works against us.

Sadly 81% of posters here still suffer from Sark syndrome
 
Why the fuck would Gaines come back?

Our only hope is a really shitty draft grade.
Click to expand...

That’s exactly why. He’s not very high on many draft boards, and unlike Gaskin, there’s a ton of room there for him to play himself up several rounds. Right now he’s overshadowed by Vea. A year with him as “the guy” on the DL, and he could make himself a lot more money.
