Bill Murray only voiced the movie Garfield because he thought it was being directed by Joel Coen of the Coen brothers. Instead it was being directed by Joel Cohen. True story.

Some thoughts that might be worth what you’re paying for them:

-LJ Johnson - this is a crazy recruitment. Dude presses to graduate early. Then he might not show up for spring at either school. He has a chance to compete for backup at either school, instead this guy is going to do footwork for the spring at home and then redshirt after showing up in June? Neither group of coaches is loving the lack of competitiveness. 

-True to form, the LB from UTenn is going to make sure he gets his. Bama is the likely outcome. If Texas gets this guy, well, bags for sure be droppin’. 

-The ol’boy out of Seattle ain’t signing on NSD2. He might give Texas an actual look and make it fun, but he’s going to Ohio State. 

-I am not the only guy watching CFB religiously that thinks Charvonnet is a depth guy. The guys at Texas that are paid to do this are pursuing him because they know better. 

-Abiara is as close as a lock as we could hope for those still unsigned for 2021. 

-The PWO kicker is exciting for the staff. Family, HT to @Hank Scorpio, is loaded. Laramie had PWO offers from everyone accordingly.  He’s worth a scholarship. 

If you have an open and obvious question that I didn’t touch on for what is left in this shit show of a class, LMK. I have been hustling on different calls all day and then cooking and got a couple of calls while whipping something up and might not be remembering everything.

For whatever reason LJ didn't play his last high school game from Katy Tompkins. It was speculated that he was sick but watching from the stands he was dressed out on the sideline. Some others in the stands say he "opted out."

as someone who follows Giant Bomb - a website about video games - let me tell you that there are some very dark Garfield things out there on the internet and if you spend more than about 2 seconds looking into it you will find some disturbing stuff.

"There's a few other schools I'm talking with too but I'm hoping to have my decision made by the weekend. I'm just looking for the right scheme fit and where I think I'll fit in the best overall."

We had a chance to see Moore in action last November at the SoCal National Preps Showcase and he was very impressive. He took home DL MVP honors and was one of the best prospects at the event. 

His story is about as unique as it gets. He’s a rugby player from New Zealand who came over to Bosco in the off-season.

“I never really played football over there,” Moore told us following the camp. “I played what I guess you could call recreationally or club ball but nothing like what football is like over here.

“I played with some older guys just for fun and people told me I was different in terms of my size, mentality and explosiveness. I was told I needed to come over here to play football so that’s what I ended up doing.”

Unfortunately for Moore, he came over during a pandemic and wasn’t able to go through a traditional spring or summer evaluation period. At 6-4, 270 pounds, Moore is extremely athletic for his size and moves around like a player in the 220 pound range.

He's an inside/outside guy, meaning he has the athleticism to play on the edge but the frame to bulk up and play on the interior as well. He can bend, change direction and has very good short area quickness.

Even with a lack of game film, had colleges been able to see Moore work out in person and see his rare combination of size, fluidity and athleticism, he would probably be holding double digit scholarship offers right now.

Edit to add: This is from PK. It looks like Washington is trying to decide whether to take him, but he's taken virtual visits as recently as last weekend. Have not found any camp tape.

From that Wiltfong article...oof. Only in it for one guy, a lot of us aren’t really that interested in him, and he’s likely going aggy anyway. Transition class indeed.

I feel like Satya. It’s gross, and I don’t like it.

Well if you saw the Zombieland Double Tap it's because drugs cost money 😂 I can't not laugh at him saying that in his dry wit/deadpan voice.

Trust the PK Fire. He'd fit in good in a 3 man front if he spins down. Could also play linebacker like Cory Redding. Oscar Giles would lock this recruitment down if he was still here. Stars don't matter. Colt and Cosmi were 3 stars. Looks like a coach-on-the-field in the making.

Wait.  A lot of us aren't really that interested in LJ Johnson?  Just because allegedly he starts trending away from us, let's not act like we don't want the kid. 

It's not ideal that he's taking his time deciding and that has supposedly rubbed both coaching staffs the wrong way.  And he apparently has subpar Sr tape (I haven't watched it so can't comment).  But I think you'd have a hard time finding people that would not be happy if he committed to us.  Both staffs are pushing hard and that tells you all you need to know.  Especially considering some of the other backup plans being explored.  Seems the staff wants another RB in 2021, and Johnson is far and away the best option left.

Hell, even if he doesn't turn into a great player, winning this head to head with A&M gives us a little momentum and kicks off the 2022 class.  And Bijan and he are close, so once he gets to campus, I'd hope that he picks up on Bijan's work ethic.  I think this would be huge if we can get him in the fold.
