Nice. I especially like this nugget in the article:Quote:

So, for all of you who didn't think Bohl needed a QB this year and could have waited until next year rather than take Jensen, even if Bohl ever get's to 60% (no, on QBs he's not there yet) those are not good odds. This is especially true if you consider that if there was no Jensen this year than they would have only gotten 2 QB recruits in 5 years. Those are not good odds to finding a decent QB.
Thanks PL, this just confirmed what we should all know. Each position needs a lot of recruits so that there is a chance someone recruited can actually play.
It also means just because a player isnt being recruited doesnt mean he cant play. I believe there are over 100,000 HS football players. So if there are 119 Div 1-A schools that means each school would have to research at least 1000 players to get the goods on each player.Quote:

What the deuce does PL mean ? Someone's initials I imagine.
Hey eight, since you are obviously a 'youngun' and I am, well, old, I can tell you that PL stands for Pete Lana, one of the Bison greats in the 70's, in the Erhardt and Kjelbertson era. For those of us 'old' enough to remember and actually watched him play, he was one of the great ones. Smart kid, younger than me actually which makes him a "youngun" also :D :D :DQuote:
