Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Devo182]

Southern California blows.

I'm sure there are crappy parts like anywhere, but I can guarantee you UCLA is not one of them...beautiful area, with The Getty right beside you and sprawling national parks just past that.

Yes it's absolutely shocking HS recruits would take a chance to be coached by the GOAT, at the program which has proven (through my own research which makes me want to puke but agrees with public research) to elevate a kid's talent better than anyone, while being in the championship race every year, etc.

And yes Tuscaloosca sucks.

If it came down to city atmosphere, every single kid in the country should just go to UCLA. Don't even get me started how ridiculous that area is and the...talent...there. Or Hawaii. No college town in the SEC could even remotely compete if that's what mattered most. Luckily most kids are more business-minded.

LA sucks, terrible example. But I agree with your sentiment.

I hate that area. LA is a horrible city.

San Fran and Atlanta say hold my beer.

There are parts that do. Especially towards the south away from the coast. But have you BEEN to UCLA campus or that area? Js... as a college kid, it's close to unrivaled. Top notch academics, beautiful campus, great area of town, great outdoors minutes away, Hollywood Bowl 15 mins away for amazing concerts year-round, and absurdly beautiful women of all ethnicities.

Oh and great weather.

It'd be hard to name 5 other schools with all UCLA offers.

A majority of cities would have to tbh. Though if I'm going for the weather and beaches, I'd go San Diego. Aka a Whale's ______

San Fran is too cold for me yuck. Not to mention wildly expensive. Though it's a fun place but hard pass. 90% of Atlanta is meh just an awfully unplanned sprawling suburban hellzone. Though Midtown I could do. It feels more like you're in a city and not just suburbia hell. Lots to do there. But also feels so far from nature/outdoors.

 

[BigSteve09]

San Diego is A+

 

[Vol423]

Not if you are a college kid on a full ride.

Yes…even then.

 

[SoilVol]

Looked at those, and have a couple of possibilities. Haven't checked resolution yet, problem is most pics when blown up to size I want gets very pixilated.

I doubt you're gonna get a hi-res for free from the person who took it. You'll have to be willing to pay for that.

I’ve been to UCLA. There is no way in hell I would ever consider living in Southern California.

That's great, but we're talking for 18-22 year old college athletes not curmudgeons

 

[SoilVol]

Speaking of Kara have you seen the heat she’s getting after her comments about the basketball being used in the FSU/Duke game apparently a men’s basketball was used in the first half and the ACC is denying it ever happened…very interesting..I didn’t even realize she took a coaching job

This is interesting because it's not like there was a glaring discrepancy when you look at the box score. The score was 30-22 at half. More points scored in the second half but thats typical in every game. Then, she's also not complaining that it's the reason they lost either. So she's not making excuses. There's no obvious reason to make up this claim other than to make a headline, but I don't think Kara is the type to do that.

Which leads me to think it actually happened, but idk how it wasn't fixed after the first possession lol

I'm cool with that. Have searched gettyimages as well for something to buy, but havent found anything.
Bought one of those wallpaper graphics that was cool, but install did not go so well. Not sure it was installer or quality of the actual print?!

[RiseToTheTop]

Yep

Also completed dominated those two DEs at LSU with ease. Ojulari is probably like a 2nd round pick at worst.

@InVOLuntary

How many years before Kara Lawson takes Pretty Holly’s job?…

And then how long before we complain about her and insist on someone from outside the program? I know it won't be long.

You just assume everybody agrees with you on everything. Newsflash: they don’t. Not everyone loves California.

This is the only California city worth drooling over.

It was too good to let slide all is fair game on VN…. except doxxing folks. Don’t do that.

I fully expect the trend to continue.
