    @FBFan, Yep. Lara over at LB Poly and his (if I recall correctly)peak roster of 18-21 D-I prospects would be equivalent to Los Alamitos or Missions Viejo in a given year–i.e., mere participants in the modern D-1 playoff division.

    Kevin Pearson is now a helpful Honda guy, and I’ve got him over this Sunday to paint my house, so he’ll have to make do with score updates during his water breaks.

    One funny thing of note here is that the coache’s picks seem to match their styles. Most of the spread air it out coaches are leaning towards Chiefs and most of the ground and pound coaches are leaning towards 9ers.

    To think that Roddy Layton used to be considered the promoting/recruiting type back in the 2000’s. He would be considered tame in today’s landscape.
