Yeah, good try with the semantics. You're missing the forest for the trees (intentionally I think).in fact there is. He never set up the strawman by fabricating an argument from what you said and he didn't knock said strawman down because after he made the statement you are referring to, he didn't vehemently argue against it. GBR responded to what you said, gave his take and then gave a hyperbolic statement to cement his point it shouldn't be weird the coaches are still offering WRS. I know what strawmanning is and that wasn't it and I think it's a little annoying when you go around accusing everyone of doing it when they disagree with youIf you think there is a distinction between an eaggerated take on what I was saying and a straw man argument, you must be who GBRFAN was laughing at earlier when he said people didn't know what a straw man argument was.nope I'll address it.So you're ignoring the part that I specifically quoted?you were talking about how it seems we aren't so sure on our top WR targets and he said to have sone faith and wait it out, our coaches are just following the process. Seemed like a normal response to me. No straw men in sightNo problem. Simply show me where I - or anyone - said we should "stop the process and wait for signing day."Man you are funny.Again with the strawman. It's you go-to move.Not sure why you would take that as we are not so sure on our top targets. Until they sign no one is guaranteed. The process is to keep building relationships until the spot are all full. It does look like we have decided that it is a TOP priority to get a tall guy. However, continuing to look for top guys is not an indicator that we have missed with others. Man we have a staff that are showing signs that NU is a good destination for kids - now we want them to stop the process and wait for signing day? - have some faith!!Not what I meant. I meant it seems like we're not so sure on our top targets.I mean I don't know what else Williams is doing at this point besides twiddling his thumbs.Might as well be 'crootin.
Where do you come up with the strawman? You might want to figure out it's definition before you come with some go to move idea.
Thanks for the humor thou.
I'll hang up and wait for your answer.
He never said that anyone said we should stop the process. It was a hyperbole to how you were reacting to our strategy in WR recruiting right now. He never said that you said that, it was exaggerated take on what you were saying.
Just because someone drops a sentence that no one actually said or was really inferring doesn't mean he is arguing with straw men, I just think you need to ease up a little

Not really you nitpicked the very end of the post and called him out four strawmanning for no good reason I don't think I'm wrong here that's why I've been arguing it. 2 against one brotherYeah, good try with the semantics.

I don't know anything besides what I'm putting here, so I can't be more helpful.
But a source inside the program says we are about to flip a current Iowa commit.
No idea, but http://247sports.com/Player/Eno-Benjamin-58645 just tweeted Keyshawn. 4* RB, doesn't appear to have an offer at the moment. He's from TX, so why he would be tweeting Keyshawn is pretty suspicious.

What if I don't want peacock to commit? I'd rather have Alaric... maybe eno if it's a package deal?
