Getting him on campus is huge. We may not get him but absolutely can’t get him if you can’t get him on campus
Don't let him leave
We dropped a BAG just for the visit.
That means we're serious about meeting his #Quote:

All of those who just whine on here (Tater, MS 7) start stepping up and going all in like everyone else has been.
LT: Seaton/James/Shumpert
LG: Prudhomme/Nash/Dent
C: Chester/Boone/Nash
RG: Steen/Miller/Matthews
RT: McVay/Steen/Miles
Suddenly, we're looking at a damn good offensive line. Would be huge.
Great to hear. And as others have said, we pull him and in a few years he's an all-pro in the league with a massive contract, it'll be pennies on the dollar in terms of ROI.Quote:

If he turns us down at a huge number, where does that money pivot to?Quote:

I said prove me wrong. This would prove me wrong and get me excited. I'm an optimist and that's been noted but I'm not toxically optimistic and just undercutting Rosebowl's gig by passing his info off as if I'm some insider. If you think I'm a whiner because I tell one guy to stop being a ****in jackass then so be it. I'm gonna talk myself into 10+ wins by september regardless.Quote:

He's not worth 4 mil to any other school but us.

Loadholt has only been here 1 season. The guy that's visiting is a product of Loadholt.Quote:

I'm not sure what I would do if we signed this guy. I know it's too good to be true, but it's fun to think about what our O would look like!!!
With our luck, we will sign him and have him injured by game 3Quote:

Excellent answer. We scored 30 ppg with an absolute trash O line. If our o line is just "good", we could be scary.Quote:

No visit without the money.. doesn't matter who the coach is. If you told any of us to hop on a plane to go do a meet and greet for a measly 100k then it's a no brainer done deal. We would hit every university we could in the time frame we had. It's free money. You'd be an idiot not to visit. So agree to disagree.
I know he has been here for one year. Im referring to his previous season at Colorado also. His past 2 years have been rough. I'm hoping this year will be a much better year for him.Quote:
