Mike Tate from Federal Way HS in WA has decommitted from #EasternWashington and committed to #SanJoseState.
Makena Simis from Boise, Idaho committed a long time ago. He was our first verbal in this class. Looks like a talented dual threat QB.marceagfan5 said:PTGrizzly said:LDopaPDX said:All FCS teams can take non-qualifiers. There wouldn't be any advantage for one university over another.
Eastern's philosophy is that taking a couple of prop kids is a no-lose proposition because you aren't out any money when they sign. They have to pay their own way through the first year of college--- most likely getting aid, but without AD monies-- so if they wash out, so be it. Plus, Eastern really works hard to keep those kids around; they spend a lot of time kicking kids in the ass academically.
Prop kids are always a 50/50 deal, for every one that works out, another may not even set foot on campus. After all, let's face it, how lazy do you have to be if high school is breaking your balls? Some kids just don't find the motivation until they are forced to, others just don't ever find it.
Eastern is a glorified Junior College. They don't have to spend time with the kids to get them ready academically.
I guess they only teach acting with class at JC schools...
As for the original title of this thread, it appears the Griz have a pretty strong class this year, nicely done. Haven't seen any news on a freshman QB, I can't imagine the Griz plan to stick with the QB's on your roster and I would guess JJ coming back is a crapshoot, whats the word on a transfer or frosh QB?

just when i'm convinced he'll win his trial, paoli makes another motion to dismiss that is so far from happening that he looks desperate and i go back to square 1. maybe its just a routine move and i'm reading too much into it.uofmman1122 said:Lots of people saying JJ will come back.
Lots of people saying JJ won't come back.
I personally think he's got a good chance to win his trial, but you never know. And even if he does, there's no 100% guarantee that he'll play again.

:clap:firmgriz said:You are reading too much into it. Once a case goes to a jury there is no such thing as a "sure thing." Juries are famous for coming up with bizarre decisions that may not necessarily have anything to do with the facts or law presented to them. An attorney is going to make every effort to get a good result for their client, even if they are confident in "winning" at trial. Rather than putting all of their eggs in the trial basket JJ's attorneys are rightfully making good use of any other strategic ways to be victorious. It is not a sign of weakness, it is merely good and thorough legal strategy.

husaramx4 said:@ Paytonlives, been following your commentary for some time, just wanted to say I think you have a good eye for talent regardless of the name behind it, your comments can be brutally honest but very fair. I thoroughly enjoy this board. It appears things are shaping up very nicely over there. It should be a great season. Very exciting.
I hear Husar's mother is a huge fan and looks great in Copper!
