Quite a game of musical chairs going on out west right now.

 

[Buffnik]

He's got 2 cousins who are going to Oregon State. Both his parents went to BYU and he's a lifelong fan of them. Those family connects are going to be the big challenge with this recruitment.

Any relation to Lynn?

btw - ESPN doing its typical stellar job on western recruiting. Spelled his first name wrong, he's unrated, and he's in the database as a pocket passer. ****ing joke.

It's as if ESPN doesn't think real football happens outside the SEC.

Katoa is a future LB IYAM.

"Those are wide shoulders!"- Buffnik. Like the offer. It would end the Katoa Curse.

I skimmed his vitals and missed the "QB". I thought he was an LB fer shure from his photo!

I wasn't going to go there. I was soooo tempted, though.

Just committed to USC. That's a significant hit for the Utes, I think, who were seen as the frontrunners.

Excellent. Let USC fill up as quickly as possible without any of our current verbals or serious targets.

 

[Daaah]

I wonder if that commitment is rock solid.

Too soon?
