I knew who you were talking about. You said something like you were tired of these California guys getting homesick and being afraid of competition and leaving. DJ Johnson was one guy.
There was another DJ from California who played for us years ago and he stayed around. There are Cali kids playing all over the country. I do agree that we should focus on winning our backyard but the statement was pretty broad. JMO
@CashMoneyCane....The kid reached out to us so that tells me we weren't actively pursuing him. What do you want TBrown to do? Tell him "F off Cali boy" and hang up? The kid basically gave him no choice. A 5* RB who calls you and wants an offer?
And we all know DJ Johnson didn't leave because he was homesick. It was because he and Kool didn't get along and Garvin was taking his shine.
That said, this is a 2020 kid and that's too far out to be worried about his interest but you gotta like that our brand is so hot right now that 5*s are looking through there recruiting mail bags off about 100 offers and being disturbed that they didn't get a U offer. That wouldn't have happened 4-5 years ago.
I don't know where Arthur Brown was from but he balled out at K State.DJ was one guy. He was not the only one. And not specifically to California. The point is that in my experience we've had more issues with guys from out of state than we've had from our back yard. And it makes sense... they come here with very little support structure beyond the football team. So when football doesn't go well, everything falls apart.
Arthur Brown was a disaster. Seantrel Henderson didn't live up to his potential and almost transferred. With more thought I could probably go on and on.
The statement wasn't "let's not take another guy from Cali again." But look at Miami RB's of the past:
Gore - Miami
Edge - Immokalee
Portis - Gainesville
Miller - Miami
Duke - Miami
Homer - WPB
Walton - Miami
It works. Stick with it.

Jesus y'all need a reading comprehension lesson. I never said tell him to "F off." All I said was I'd much rather have/focus on Chaney. If we're taking two RB's, take Chaney and THEN an OOS dude.
What exactly do "we all know" about DJ? Unless he told you, you don't know jack.

We will never beat Bama/Clemson and win titles with this mentality. Glad you aren’t the coach.

I'm jealous that you're stoned more often than not.See... this is my point. A lot of people have already said he was from Kansas. And balled out at K State. But sure didn't at Miami. He's another PERFECT example, a la DJ Johnson, of dudes who weren't from anywhere nearby and couldn't hack it in South Florida. BOTH five star guys. BOTH were getting beat out by lower-rated South Florida guys.
That is the entire point of my initial post.

Milton is west coast based, living in Clovis, CA and playing for Buchanan High. At 6'2" 210 with speed and vision, he has all the traits of an elite RB prospect. Schools like Bama, Georgia, Notre Dame, USC, and Michigan have already gone in on Milton.
Washington state man. Everyone is blazing out here.
So jealous. Florida politicians live in the Stone Age so I doubt we catch up to you guys anytime soon in that department.
Might be sooner than you think, and trust me WAY more people burn than you could even imagine. I've smoked out with little old ladies.
I agree it’s the inevitable. My children will view weed the same way we viewed alcohol growing up.
