So down the stretch we came in 2nd on all of these guys?:
Tolan (LSU)
West (FSU)
Nolen (A$M)
Agu (Vandy (!!) )
Gilbert (Auburn)
Scott (Auburn)
Jones (Michigan)
Igbinosun (Ole Miss)
Pearce (we are 2nd to āseeing what else comes along before NSDā)
Probably others I am forgetting
And we hit on only Webb (ECU), J Williams (WVU), and D Williams (Houston); and maybe flipped a Tulane commit in Jacas (assuming we can hold off mighty Illinois).
I like the guys we got, but we just flat out failed to close in a meaningful way. The guys we got were not being heavily recruited by SEC level programs, the guys we failed on were. Frankly, we simply did not recruit at the standard that is required.
There can be no sugar coating failing this badly down the stretch, especially with the positive momentum we had throughout the season.
CJH must make changes immediately ā whether on his staff and/or in his recruiting philosophy. Recruiting at a high level in the SEC is blood sport. We have demonstrated down the stretch that we arenāt prepared to win these tough fights.[/QUOTE
For some, it's all about the chemistry. Having drinks is more socially accepted than smoking.
Smokers tend to be around other smokers and usually just "bum" cigarettes if they don't have any. They're way cheaper and easy to obtain without extreme measures.
But you also see people hold up a convenience store and jerk down a carton while getting the money. Or hit a pawn shop and go directly to a store. Being legal and cheap, not gonna see many headlines. But getting 2 am calls offering $20 for a ride to get a pack, because they couldn't wait another second, wasn't uncommon back then.
My little brother was diagnosed with COPD and never stopped smoking up until and including his last day on earthā¦.
