Scratchtown Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 We just got that Whitaker kid to commit...yay, good for him, whatever. I know there are alot of star gazers on here and what not, but not me. This kid was offered by NO ONE....I don't know how good the kid is, but when I go over to the rivals site and look at commits, I look at who the hell offered him, not how many stars he is... Anyone else noticed that the kind of kids we are recruiting are the ones that aren't offered by big time programs? I mean alot of people are quick to say Oregon is a flash in the pan blah blah blah, but even Oregon didn't offer this guy. Fresno State who went 4-9, and Nevada who went 7-6 were the two next best offers. Its not about Stars, or about measure-ables....Its about who else is offering the guy, to me that is what makes a recruit good or valuable, etc... Quote Link to comment

B.B. Hemingway Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 You're right, nobody wants Peat, Westerkamp, Seisay, Armstrong, Rose, Fuller, Valentine, Curry, Cross, Bourque, Moore, Shelton, Ford, etc.... Yeah, nobody wants them.... I get what you're saying, but as fans we have to trust the coaches. Quote Link to comment

I definitely meant commits, not prospects. My fault. Quote Link to comment

girlknowsfootball Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 This kid was just under the radar. Unknown. The kids who become well known are the kids who go to the camps, have coaches who campaign for them, etc. Florida came into the picture this week and so did us and Oregon. All schools said they loved what they saw and they would have offered earlier had they known about him. So that was the issue right there. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yeah, I think this is a pretty exciting get. I'm not sure I feel quite the same about the last one. Yes, he has speed - but seems like he may have been down on our targets list. And weird as it sounds, seems Whitaker was getting more interest. Quote Link to comment

'SkersRule Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I've seen film of Whitaker and the kid is a mauler. He may be going up against lesser competition though because I'm not real familiar with the high school classification in California. One thing I do know is that this kid is tremendously agile and gets to the 2nd level very quickly. And as for the film I saw, I thought he worked at IHOP because he was serving up pancakes on every snap. Quote Link to comment
