Not many a few, and they were not the first of their position on that team normally. The only recruit we have that SC wanted that I am aware of is Lucky. But that is explained later in this post, or at least how I feel about it.
He fooled someone else too :clap
Actually set and watch next week, don't worry about the score or anything but basic line play. See if you truly believe it is just coaching these kids up. Too slow, not athletic enough, not quick enough to play on the big stage. Bo will get us close, with his schemes and ideas, but toe to toe, we are not there, and I do not think we are close.
As far as the recruiting, we are not going to get the top kids, there is no question, but some of our kids were sold a bill of goods by the previous staff. We need kids that know the day they set foot on this University it is work till you drop and just maybe you will play.
Pete Carroll made a statement the other day that was very interesting. Some sportscaster asked him how do you get enough snaps for all the 5 star players, how do you deal with it. He said it never happens, they do not concern themselves with it. They only recruit kids that think they will come in and start at SC as freshman, if they do not have that attitude, they are not offered. You play for SC and it is an honor to be selected. That is the way it used to be here. We need that back, more than we need anything. Pride, sense of urgency, all the talking by coaches, past players, Coach Osborne do no good if that basic drive is not there. We are missing that characteristic in our players I think. I am sure some have it, but right now not all.
