    Bullshit, that's a generalization...and bordering on racist....his team won the state title in their classification.

    He was named Oakland Athletics League player of the Year...a league that has produced 47 NFL players, including 5 Collegiate Hall of Fame players, so somebody is recruiting there.

    As for academics, I bet they're not rated any lower than schools in the Dallas or Houston ISDs...and he was an honor student.

    Uhh ok, I grew up there, dude.  Maybe it has changed in the past however many years but Oakland Tech and Skyline are the only academic schools worth a shit and they’re nothing special.  And OAL football is fucking godawful, dunno if they still do it but they used to play the SF public school champion as their “bowl” and the only thing that sucks worse than the OAL is SF public school football.  If you’ll note who Texas is recruiting out there, it’s all private school guys outside of Jones out in the rich folks area in the East Bay.

    And I wasn’t commenting on our new guy.  The question was asked why no one wanted him… the OAL is largely ignored by recruiters since it sucks and my academic comment was directed towards all the “good kids” fleeing to the plethora of catholic schools in the area. Oakland high, Castlemont, Mcclymonds and Fremont are an absolute beating.  McClymonds has a wall with barbed wire around it for fucks sake.

    so calm the fuck down, k thanks

    Somebody please explain to me how this guy didn't get Power 5 offers out of HS?

    Oakland HS football is awful, violent dogshit.  Virtually all of the talent gets siphoned off to the local Catholic schools (of which there are many in the area).  There is an occasional fringe P5 guy that gets picked up but the last star I can remember was Marshawn Lynch.  Probs been 1 or 2 since but a lot flame out because of grades too.  OAL is...not strong academically

    The vibe I get with the AF kid is he's ours if we want him. I think it's more our decision than anything. 

    Agree.  Cal is his other finalist and the vibe over there thinks much the same.  They’re optimistic cause they think Texas will get a “better” option

    All 9.95ers have said the younger brother played a big role in him choosing TCU. I bet this puts them over the top. The younger brother will never even play with his brother at ou 

    He was committed to Cal forever in HS, TCU swooped in with a pretty solid bag right before signing day.  Made a diff for his family so all good but it didn’t have much to do with his little brother

    This dude has one of the worst offensive games I’ve ever seen from a power conference guard. 

    Cal stinks, so a player can transfer there and get a green light they wouldn’t get at almost any other power conference school. Jaylon Tyson ended up at Cal and actually flourished there because of this.

    But Askew does almost nothing well offensively, an extra green light doesn’t matter for him.

    Dude is a walking MASH unit.  Cal thought he should medically retire but he is trying for one more (likely small) bag.  Madsen didn't try to hold on to him and Cal has like 3 players left after Madsen started kicking guys to the curb this week.  That should say plenty...

    I was always bemused that the naughty sex kitten in Valley Girl (Elizabeth Daily, far left of pic above) would go on to be one of the most annoying voices in the history of television.  Tommy Pickles in Rugruts can burn in fucking hell for eternity.

    ok, off topic is out of my system.  Back to more KBake talk
