I hope Lee, Farmer, and Gibson have X-box Live.

Although I do credit Tosh for all of it.
That is my hope here. At least Tosh shouldn't be too involved in their recruiting....
Chip's counter pitch:
Do you really want to play for a guy who doesn't believe in his defense...who has to resort to faking injuries?

Negative recruiting can pay huge dividends. It's the nature of the beast, and most, if not all schools do it.
With that said, I very much doubt Lee or Farmer will land at Cal. Gibson? Probably.
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/

Like every other team that tries to push that UO is a 'gimmick' offense and how it won't translate well to the NFL??? Hey man, you gotta use all the ammo in your holster. All is fair in love, war and recruiting.
Scott_Schrader Cal coaches will be at Serra WR George Farmer's home tonight for in-home visit.

# Cal had in-home visit with Serra ATH Marqise Lee last night.
I am very interested to see how it pans out with these guys.
Must be an awfully nice for the Cal coaches to be able to start doing full time recruiting at this time of the year. Oh...wait....is it because they didnt qualify for a bowl game so their season has been cut short? Bwahaha!
Sorry but if those kids choose Cal over Oregon, Miami, or USC then they are silly. I hear the Duck coaches plan on visiting Farmer and Lee after they complete their 12-0 season and get their invite to the Natty!

Honestly, I can completely understand choosing Cal over Miami and USC. I still don't see the appeal of playing for nothing down in USC. I also would be hesitant to head to Miami since they just fired Shannon and now have to rebuild. I don't think Miami is a player for them unless they end up with someone like Gruden who brings in instant star appeal.

My source just said Chip is officially back!
It will be announced at Autzen press conference tomorrow afternoon!

The majority of the time, this stuff will either reinforce that recruit's already held belief or go against it and turn off that recruit. I agree, you use everything at your disposal, but this kind of stuff has to be a calculated risk. Ever wonder how many kids ended up at USC after other coaches implied they would not crack the depth chart if they decided to go there?
