Re: Simmons and Jackson
Since we completely struck out with the gardena trio, It would be awesome to land these two. Both are high quality recruits, and would be big boosts on the D-line.

Re: Simmons and Jackson
I'm really hoping Lupoi lands at Texas which may give us a second chance at Gibson and Barr, but if they stay committed there getting these two would definitely soften the blow.UOducksTK1 wrote:Since we completely struck out with the gardena trio, It would be awesome to land these two.

I agree. Although, getting the Pennsylvania duo would be nice regardless of what happens with Barr and Gibson.I'm really hoping Lupoi lands at Texas which may give us a second chance at Gibson and Barr, but if they stay committed there getting these two would definitely soften the blow.

Re: Simmons and Jackson
Barr was a Cal lock regardless of Tosh's Xbox expertise. Barr is one of the few guys that actually chose Cal because of their academics. Barr is an excellent student and has been a Cal lean for quite a while.PDXShogun wrote:I'm really hoping Lupoi lands at Texas which may give us a second chance at Gibson and Barr, but if they stay committed there getting these two would definitely soften the blow.UOducksTK1 wrote:Since we completely struck out with the gardena trio, It would be awesome to land these two.

The more I hear about these guys the more I want us to land them.

Seems like the only question marks with them are distance and then possibly academics for Jackson.Phenom wrote:The more I hear about these guys the more I want us to land them.

Ya, I'm definitely concerned about Jackson's academics. The guy makes Randall look like a candidate to be an academic all american.greenyellow wrote:Seems like the only question marks with them are distance and then possibly academics for Jackson.Phenom wrote:The more I hear about these guys the more I want us to land them.
If the coaches take Jackson, I'd expect them to overbook this class.
