David Oku....

When did we get back in the picture with him? He is visiting next weekend (jan. 30th) and now is a soft commit to TN. This is the first I have heard of him in a while and didn't even know Auburn was on his radar. This would be a nice pickup if we can sway him!

For those of you who dont know him, his is the #1 all purpose back in the country and a 4 star recruit according to rivals!

Would be a nice grab, but I wonder if his relationship with Gran is too much to overcome?

Surely not for our super-recruiters!

How the hell can you be the #1 all purpose back, and not be a 5 star recruit?

Damn...I didn't even think about the Gran thing.

Because he is looking at Auburn!

I've asked this same question 100 times. It seems there's no rhyme or reason to how they assign the almighty star. If you're listed as the best all-around back in the freakin' country...I believe you are worthy of the extra *****'s

I guess that is where pimp cups come into play.

He probably stick with his UT commitment, just like Randle with LSU, but it is nice to see some of the guys coming for a vist. We may not sign any, we may sign one or two, who knows? If you can get them on campus you still have a chance. Hell, you can't dance with the prom queen unless you ask. At least we are asking.

I hope his dad can get off work.

Hell Yeah....he is a 6 Grillz and a Pimp Cup, his Highlight Videos are pretty damn impressive.

Oku will be in Syracuse this weekend, visiting them, because that's where his UT connection went...I'm guessing RB Coach? Then he's is "scheduled" for next weekend, I'll be surprised if he actually makes it, since the news of the possible visit hit a full week before it happens, I'm sure YawYaw and Gran will be all over him. I hope not though.

As for the Homecoming Queen, you are correct. Also, if she's kinky, she'll let you Donkey Punch her in the head while you're fuckin' her.

I take the opposite stance (obviously).

You don't start running around like a nerd in heat when most of the prom invitations have already gone out.

My opinion is that Chiz is wasting a lot of time with this scattershot approach while he's ignoring the recruits that SHOULD make up the core of this class.

Terrence Coleman says in the paper today that nobody from Chizik's staff has contacted him since Willis left. What the fuck is that? I guess he's so busy wasting time chasing pipe dreams that he can't bother with the kids he actually has a chance with? Stupid. How can you NOT call a kid whose primary recruiter left and who lists you as a soft verbal? A kid who has ties to the team? A kid who is actually attainable?

You can start making plans for next year's prom if you want and build a strategy to get the best girl. But when you're a week or so out from this year's prom you look pretty stupid and desperate chasing other guy's dates.

If you don't start talking to the girls who'll actually go with you, you're going to end up in a tuxedo jerking off in the corner.

The all purpose backs are weak this year. Not saying he won't be good, but the star system is about potential and the ability to be productive on the next year. David Oku might be the best all purpose back, but he still probably needs a year or two to get used to college game. He'll be really good once he does that.

Five star guys should be able to come in their freshman year and start or get serious playing time. Any five star guy that doesn't do that is a bust in my book. If they need a few years to get ready, then they were really a four or three star guy.

While I agree that not contacting Terrance Coleman would be a mistake if true, the rest of what you are saying is pure short termed, narrow minded babble.

Let me relate it to you in your own colorful and nerdy terms.

At least our newbies at school, came to the prom late and have managed to get the hottest girls to visit their hotel rooms. Some will score, some will return to the dance floor. However, the newbies at school just proved with a killer dinner, meeting mom and dad and a corsage they got just as much chance to get laid as anyone. You don't stand in the corner and be a nerd this year in hopes of pulling a "Teen-Wolf" type reversal next year. My contention is that your approach of hitting the one guarantee, only guarantees stale pussy in the end.

Someone will contact Terrance, or he will go to Tennessee or Arkansas like he's been floating to Rivals and Scout. However, I agree with YOU that it would be a shame in that instance.
