I think Urban Meyer has a future Heisman Trophy candidate, a guy who's going to lead them to a national championship.
games great loses mad next people sitting talent three title win year
He's getting such great talent, people will be mad next year if they don't win big, if they're not in the BCS, if they are not title contenders with all the talent they are getting. People don't like sitting around and waiting. They are going to be on his butt if he loses three games next year.
impact instant
He will be an instant impact back as a freshman.
ahead brothers miles older precision seen since training
He has two older brothers who were accomplished, big-time passers and he's been training for this since he was 5 years old. He's a precision passer and he's miles ahead of everyone else I've seen this year.
best hands seen
He has the best hands of any back I've seen in the country. He catches everything.
afraid challenge coming guys lacking leadership mature plus rather senior side small team throw time
Any time you have a small senior class, you feel it. There are leadership issues. But the real challenge is that team is going to be lacking in depth, rather mature depth, guys with experience. The plus side is that the guys coming in will be much better athletes, and Charlie's not afraid to throw a young guy into the fire.

advantage below bowls charlie coach colleges easy facilities great himself pitch pro recruit super surrounded talking usc won
Charlie also has an advantage when he's talking to kids, because he's won Super Bowls with his offense. Not every pro coach who comes into the colleges can say that. Now Pete Carroll surrounded himself with great recruiters and he's a great recruiter himself. His pitch was that he could get his recruits to the pros, and he's delivered. USC is not that easy of a place to recruit -- the facilities are below average, the stadium's below average, the neighborhood's below average, but he's made it look easy.

ahead miles
He's miles ahead of everyone else I've seen.
aware introduced iowa jersey kid people picture shows sneaks trip trying
All of a sudden, a kid shows up and sneaks into the picture without a jersey on. I didn't know who he was. Later, he introduced himself. He was on an unofficial trip to Iowa with his father. He was just trying to make people aware of him.
attention kids
I'm probably part of the problem. It's too much attention on these kids who may not even be that great.
good
Schilling was a real good catch. And they could get more.
growth size
Size has become a lot more important now. With linemen, it's all about size or growth potential.
