I had him first or second team All PAC-12 after the CSU game. He's a monster.

 

[Jaximus]

Apparently we need to recruit people with names like Chidera, Barkevious and Bjoern!

 

[Dark Bohner]

Considering how craptacular we have been, we are still getting guys to the league. Talk about wasting talent.

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

AZ says this is unpossible.

This team, and specifically anyone NOT recruited by Jon Embree, is crap at best.

 

[Jaximus]

Looking back at that big 2010 class and other than CUD, it's pretty ****ing bad. 5 contributors...

I'm amazed that Dakota Poole didn't make it. We all had such high expectations for him...

EDIT: I realize we got PRich in that class, but that's because UCLA dumped him.

He'll play 3-4 OLB in the NFL

There are quite a few guys in the NFL from sub-par programs like ours. It's almost harder for 4* who go to USC and Bama to get drafted cuz they have to compete with the other 4* and 5* on the college roster.

Wonder if this is part of our recruiting sales pitch, along with the ever-popular "early playing time"?

Matt Cassel comes to mind. But try telling an elite player he'll have a hard time Beating out other guys for playing time. If you can do that, you'll be the first ever.

Well in a season where nearly everything is disappointing... Chidera ranks right up there imo. He started off with a bang vs CSU, but I can't remember the last game he got a sack

I dont remember him making many plays the last 5 weeks. sounds like he is a little to high on that list.

Didn't say it was a great pitch. But when recruiting for the worst team in the FBS, choices are limited :lol:

 

[BuffLuke80]

3rd round pick at best, I've only heard his name like 5 times if that. Love to see him at olb when he's a rush end. No way he's a backer
