Linebacker Recruiting

Ryan,
What is your take on why USC has had a hard time recruiting Linebackers of late. I was reading another article and something kind of became glaring to me so tell me your take. Recruits should be able to see playing time early, private education, connections after graduating, playing in the Big10, etc...
I think as good as coach Entz was, he was focused on coaching the kids knowing this was a stepping stone in his career and that it was temporary. Why bust his butt to recruit hard when he wouldn't be around to coach them. Spend more time watching film, working with what he had rather then also preparing for the future. Your thoughts on this because there was a lot of talent we lost. And I think Ili is a good example of this.

USC expected to hire top young front office staffer Max Stienecker away from Wisconsin


The Trojans are lining up a star-studded front office under Chad Bowden as he continues to overhaul the USC front office. The latest piece is someone he has worked with before and is another fast-rising star in the player personnel world. Max Stienecker is only 24 years old but has established himself as one of the up-and-coming front office people in college football.

He took over as the GM at Wisconsin last season after arriving in Madison from Cincinnati where he worked under Luke Fickell, along with Bowden. He was previously the director of player personnel for the Badgers.

One huge misunderstanding?

What if?

There's trouble in Phoenix tonight. Police cars with their lights on and Sirens blazing are zooming everywhere. Up above, not too far in the distance, a helicopter is circling as it beseeches a (presumed) disorderly throng to comply with indecipherable instructions. It's a frenzied to pace that presumably mirrors a frenzied mood among the assembled.

Here, a pickup truck passes by, flying a large Mexican flag and honking its horns. There, a family marches towards a destination unknown toting smaller Mexican flags and cardboard signs.

I am drawn towards the spectacle, buoyd by the euphoria of having just devoured five killer tacos and downed a jalapeno-infused cocktail that was absolutely enfuego at a local haunt. However, as caution got the better of me, I decided to walk back to the hotel and not seek out the assumed demonstration.

All the while, I couldn't help wondering if this was all just one HUGE misunderstanding. What if the feds, seeing the flags, actually believe they are doing these immigrants a huge favor by trying to send them back to a place they truly love and long to return to??? I think I could help deescalate this!

One of the biggest issues with Trump...

...(and one of the reasons why he only got my vote by default) is that he can't help getting down in the mud. For example: This whole thing with the bishop--just let it go. Don't climb off of the moral high ground and throw petty insults. Just thank her for her compassion but point out that 1) she lives in a fantasy world and isn't burdened by real-world practical governance, 2) She's gaslighting and feeding into this hysteria that LGBTQ people have something to fear, thus creating division.

He has to work to maintain an air of dignity while still doing what he has to do (and what we voted him in to do). Don't be obnoxious and make it easy for others to vilify and form a coalition against you.
