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
