.4% most of whom a college student will never see nor be impacted by. Same goes for the general population. Brutal that we think that way but even the homeless recognize a warm place to be homeless is better than a frozen place.

If there's a trick to attracting people, I don't think it's presuming they're oblivious to the obvious. I think it's finding out what they are looking for and trying to meet the need more than the competitor. Competitive comparing climate and cultural richness between UT and LA is a losing game for UT. Use the learning curve. They are more likely to already be aware the cultural opportunities of LA.

Not suggesting it would. Merely that LA is not totally the "Kardashian Paradise" as often seen in media portrayls.

Went back in 2008 for a 10 day vacation...
LA changed a lot, and not for the better...
Northern CA. is still nice, I’ve been told...

Nice use of an oxymoron, emphasis on “moron”.

Having been involved with Habitat for Humanity and providing food and clothing for people in S FL through my Church might suggest where my heart is...

OT: How are things looking down there? Per normal, everything important becomes yesterdays news the day before yesterday while media concentrates on clich bait nonsense. Nothing is heard or read if there are still pockets of problems from the storms.

Alot of the Keys are still not right. Boca is fine except for a few blue tarped roofs still around. Wilma did a lot more damage in my area.

AJ Hampton just received a Northwestern offer. Funny how Jolly and Hampton receive
P5 offers right after their Toledo visits. Must be seal of approval.

Former UT assistant Louis Ayeni is now back at his alma mater NU after 2 years at ISU SO he is just following his ISU INTEREST IN Hampton to NU

Patrick Jolly to UCLA and LiAllen Dailey to Kentucky.

Word on twitter is that former Florida commit, WR Jalynn Williams from St. Pete has committed to UT.

247 has him higher rated than Bradley.

Didn't see yesterday's thread @9:40 pm?
That's a very good laser time. He's closer to a 4.5 hand held. The hand held, runner starts and then the person with the stopwatch reacts and starts the timing. Talking about a 1.5- 1.8 second difference at the very least between the two types of timing.
Williams is the MAC's highest rated WR commit in 2018.

Can't wait for that next signing day. Obviously we won't add a lot of names that day after the good class of December signees, but if we add the right handful, combined with the Koback transfer...much to be excited about at least on paper!

Look up the position rankings and see where the MAC commits are ranked.
