Wow. Shocked at this. But apparently Warrio10, Dr. Strangelove, HIPP REDWINE ROZIER and saunders45 aren't. Nice work!

USC and UCLA are definitely in the running. He said Arizona State, Nebraska and Oklahoma are the three out-of-state schools recruiting him the hardest.

Says Arizona, Nebraska and Maryland are recruiting him the hardest. Sounds like several schools are looking at him as a TE, which he said is fine with him.

This is a great topic and I'll put more effort into a response later. But I've read another article from Lucas - and a couple other articles - from that side of the table in the last couple weeks. I find it interesting that he actually talks about the money they get from property taxes in this post. In his other article that was totally absent. I though that he wasn't presenting the whole picture before but this is much more balanced. Here is his post from last month. I'm glad his tone has changed to provide a more complete synopsis of the situation:

This is my point. It can be a serious problem without having to make it sound like every academic institution in the state is suddenly going to cease operation. The difference between trying to draw attention to an issue that you want people to be aware of and trying to make it sound like the most horrible situation anyone can imagine will come to pass if you don't let him do what he wants. Fear mongering.

Agree with this. Early in the season where that was the story, I kept saying "but what happens when someone gets hurt?" At some point you're going to have to rotate for some reason - injury, ineffectiveness, etc. I don't necessarily think it's a bad plan, but I don't think the reasons given really make sense. Sterup moved from tackle to guard and started the next week. By all accounts, Foster was right there with Utter but couldn't get on the field. Thurston came in when Reeves got hurt and we didn't seem to miss a beat. I understand wanting the starters to get most of the reps and be a cohesive unit. But I fail to see where giving a couple backups a series here and there would be that damaging to chemistry. If anything, it would make it easier for the unit to still be cohesive when someone gets hurt.
