I've been fascinated by the discussion about BBK -- I didn't follow his recruitment and found the previously linked article about him at SHP an eye-opener. I'm sure Hulk is right that he wouldn't be an All-American in Stanford's scheme, and maybe he wouldn't even start.  However, he plays with his hair on fire and holds his teammates accountable -- we could use more of that.

And Russell Wilson and Drew Brees are too short to be quarterbacks in the NFL . . .

Anyway, my frustration, and my only frustration, was the comment that "based on inside information, we didn't offer him because we never saw him play." The kid was all state as a junior and had great grades. One would think someone would have ventured just a few miles north on a Friday night to check the kid out.

If he didn't fit into the scheme, then fine, say that and move on. Hard to argue with that. Just don't throw up some lame reason why we didn't offer him: "oh the kid was hurt, and didn't come to our camp"
