Keeping Franzen over Hossa was only a mistake in hindsight. Hossa got double the money from Chicago and Franzen was in his prime (outscored Colorado in the playoffs by himself the year prior). Holland's made questionable decisions like you've highlighted, but a lot of those are only apparent looking back.
To be fair though, signing Ericsson to his contract was never a good idea. Fucking hate Ericsson.
I really like it from a recruiting standpoint. It draws a lot of positive attention to the program when you have big time celebrities around it. That's one of the major tools Pete Carroll used to build USC into a powerhouse.
That's a good point. It's a case where rankings and offers line up as you'd expect (unlike the other commits we've seen this week), but this guy just seems way more talented than either of those suggest.
Considering this blog's readership played a huge part in landing Steve his current job and he still visits here from time to time, I'd say he doesn't care as much as you do.
I'm only a little bothered by this (sorry guys), but the weight of a high schooler picking what school he wants to go through and all of the considerations that go into making that decision is a lot heavier than a university deciding which 30 football players they want.

Step 2. Have everyone in stands give away like $1.25.
There's your recruiting budget.

I can't stop laughing at the image of Sankey trying to enjoy a nice family barbecue and seeing Jim's pasty, bare stomach running around like a madman.

There was a thread a while back where we all got together and did it.
Can't hurt to be on the media's good side. The hype train keeps chugging along.
I have a hard time believing he's better than Clowney was at this stage. Clowney's highlight film was hilarious.

Jim Harbaugh is batshit insane, but he knows exactly what he's doing.
Unfortunately no.
This thread shouldn't have 200+ comments.
I don't know who you are or where you came from but I hate you.

Really don't understand the underwhelming offer sheet and rankings here. I'd take 10 of him in this class if possible.

No more posbang shitposts horray!
Now it kind of sounds like you're putting the blame on Swenson, which probably wasn't your intention.
I just don't think the situation on both sides is comparable, and if you don't get that now then there's not much of a point in me explaining that.

Living in NC with an already hour-long commute, I'm fucking terrified.
Last time it snowed here:
He actually had just woken up at his normal time and decided to tag along.
Harbaugh wasn't the coach when Swenson was offerred.
I rarely comment on recruits' highlight tapes, but Hudson is an absolute animal. Do want.
