Jon Wilner Ridiculousness

217

Read this.

6. Oregon State: Most of the top players are gone. So is Mike Riley. Hotline prediction: Five years from now, OSU fans who ripped Riley will be looking back on his tenure with love and affection.

Yeah, guy, and the Stanford Indians are going to miss Pop Warner.

This guy is completely clueless. Huge coaching upgrade, and this is his spin? This guy, Lindsay, et al are going to have their asses handed to them and their 20th century narratives.

AB Prediction: Two years from now Riley will be run out of Lincoln, Gary Andersen will have a .650 winning percentage, and Jon Wilner will be mocked incessantly by ABers.

UCLA @ Oregon State

6:00 PM on P-12 network.

Here’s Tinkle talking about the team’s mindset and UCLA

I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone…

That you can’t recruit to Corvallis.

Further, no coach in his right mind wants to come to Corvallis.

Finally, be very careful what you wish for.

Carry on.

Twitter Handle for Live Recruiting Updates

254

Let’s brainstorm to think of a twitter handle for live twitter (recruiting) updates.

We could stick with my current one of angry beavs. The perk is that it might get new readers to the site. I’m willing to share my password with a few readers here who follow recruiting closely and tweet a lot. I personally feel the best idea is an open account where a handful of guys know the password and can post updates. That way, if someone is away from a PC someone else can post the update. The way this mechanism works is that if someone tweets information at you, you then have to retweet it for it to post live here on AB.

I am open to other ideas. But keep in mind this handle will be visible on the right side of the page. So we don’t want anything that’s obnoxious to look at or read. Let’s keep it simple in the spirit of the site’s design.

Recommendations for a handle?

New Recruiting Thread

58

That last thread was getting messed up.

So I’d say that was a successful weekend. Two 3-stars and a hard-hitting, high ceiling 2-star guy.

It will be interesting to see what Andersen does with an entire season. (a) He is probably making enemies (b) he doesn’t seem to care. Does it come back to bite him at some point?

We’re hearing good names for next weekend: Khalid McGee, Thor Katoa, Lopini Katoa, Keivonnis Davis, Noah Togiai, Mufi Hunt, James Empey, and Tuli Wily-Matagi. There seem to be a lot of unknowns in the mix, too. Andersen might pull a better recruiting class than Riley, and in 3 weeks…but remember: you can’t recruit to Corvallis.
