82 Brew: That and only using half of the quote. But that's his style around here.
This is not HALF the quote. This is the WHOLE quote.
"I know it's a great school. Initially I was pretty excited when they began to show some intere*** in me," Kaiser continued. "I really want to learn more about the program. Coach Chry*** told me about the school Web site and I did a little research on my own. I can't wait to go their and meet all the coaches to see what the atmosphere is like."
Just thought it would be a good time to update on this. The above QB from St. Louis committed to SMU. He had offers from UW, Colorado, and Colorado State. Nothing overwhelming about his background...6-2". Considered a "sleeper" whatever that means. Perhaps he'll find success at SMU. We may not be harboring elite QBs by any stretch (and this kid is not elite) but we have depth with some guys with promise in Phillips, Budmayr, and now Brennan.
However, another St. Louis area kid did mention his own academic research online...Warren Herring.
Noted here from WSJ:
"Herring, who plans to major in biology, did his homework on UW. In addition to spending a lot of time on the Internet doing research on UW’s academic programs and rankings, he learned more while meeting with professors during an unofficial visit to Madison earlier this summer.
“I already knew they had a really good football team because I watch them on television, and I liked the coaching staff,” Herring said. “But academics were No. 1.”"
He backed out of an earlier verbal to KSU to come to UW. That's weird. What a horrible recruiting tool that damned internet can be.
I'm thinking goo roo has again grossly overstated the single quote from the QB and ignored what this kid said. Bias is a terrible thing to be afflicted with.
I dub thee : Bias Boy.
