Just a few examples.....and some of these offers do not show up on the scouting services now because of the little game the so called "big boys" play where when they find out that they lost out to a "small school" they will contact the scouting services to have their listed offer removed.....but I wrote them down early in the recruiting process...........BTW. Mr. Decoud is a piece of work isn't he????

I'll give him a bit of a pass cause he's a young kid...but to tell coaches late Tuesday night that he was signing here...and change to Oregon State that quickly shows (in my mind) that he was lying at the time.

This would contribute to the star drop.

How bout some love for the Preferred Walk-Ons; I hear there were some top notch guys they didn't have enough scholly's for that chose to pay their own way. Example: RB Jeryl Brazil, WR Javaughn Ferguson, DB Collen McDowell and QB Gunner Hudspeth to name a few.

Brazil will be on scholly

We may have liked the skills he offered, but that move says something about character that may have come back to bite us. I'm VERY impressed with who we did sign.
