Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Quick correction: Madden didn't play at UCLA. He probably went with him on his official visit that weekend.

But even then, Nico is not going to get the opportunity to speak to anyone with Oregon while the visitor of a UCLA official recruit.
I guess that's right. I thought he was a 24 and signed with UCLA and transferred to AR.

Those names bring back some memories.
Especially Anthony Miller.
I believe we got him out of a California JUCO. The kid could play.
1st round draft pick and had a stellar career with the Chargers.
Multi Pro Bowl selections, IIRC.
 
"There was once a venue in Printers Alley called the Rainbow Room, and the owner was David “Skull” Schulman. He was loved so much by other Nashvillians that the Nashville City Council declared him “The Mayor of Printers Alley.” Originally, the Rainbow Room was an exotic dance club that “Skull” eventually converted to a country bar in the 1990s. Prior to its conversion, the club was the only venue in Nashville that had a live band performing music for its dancers.
Tragically, one night in 1998, Schulman was attacked and murdered by two assailants while he was working alone at the club. The killers were eventually caught, but his club didn’t reopen. Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar rented the space for storage for a while, but none of the employees wanted to go in there. Many swore that they saw a shape resembling “Skull” walking around the club and could hear his voice calling out to them.
Friend of mine had a family member that owned The Brass Stables at one time....... Classy joint!

QB position is fine, it’s playmakers and blocking that we need. I wouldn’t trade Nico. With an offseason and some WRs and time to throw, he could unleash hayul.
I think Nico is in the top5-10 QB's in the country, as a rs Fr. If we can get some OL, the WRs do what they're supposed to, and Heupel brings back the '21/'22 offense, he could end up being arguably the best in the country.
