The Bodda Getta

Thanks for the update.

Dang, I was looking forward to seeing him balance that Auburn placard on his head when he picked us.

Too bad, it would have been nice to have the kid at AU. Oh well, move on. Next.....

Geography is a b****!!

I can't say that i blame him for wanting to stay West Coast. Living in the dirty south would be a culture shock to say the least and when choosing a school there is a lot to be said about being comfortable. I hate for him that he will not likely develop as well not playing day in and day out against the level of talent he could have played against in the SEC. I will also say that I do not particularly care if we get a lot of these "overly hyped" kids. I love the early enrollees that commit and come in and start working hard with little or no fanfare. Unlike the past, these "overly hyped" kids and often their parents come in a little over media savey and can sabatage your program. Ask Mike Leach if he will ever recruit another celebrity's kid? Good look Arik. Maybe we will see the Ducks in the post season sometime.

He might if they don't go on probation.

That said, Arik and his family seem to be class acts. Good luck to him and his brother.

Any thoughts on how this news might impact other recruits still on the board? By that I mean, wih Ark out of the mix, does it make other recruits on our list take a closer look at us (i.e. playing time, competition, etc.)? Could it give us an edge with other recruits on the board?

Wrong!In this day and age you recruit the best wherever they are!

What a waste of talent.
