I pinch myself everytime I get to sit in the DB meeting and listen to Duane Akina drop ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž on the Arizona Football secondary! He adds some history in on the guys & I let them know Iโ€™d drop video on the play AZ 1st Thorpe winner Darryl Lewis saved the game vs Oregon โ€˜90 ๐Ÿปโฌ‡๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

Itโ€™s always GREAT seeing Ex Wildcats in the building. Brandon Sanders and Rob Waldron were Major Players in โ€œTHE ORIGINAL DESERT SWARMโ€

Love seeing ARIZONA & TEXAS make the LIST. How Chuck Cecil,Chris McAlister & Earl Thomas didnโ€™t win it is beyond me. If only Justin Reid stays for his Sr. Year, who knows. I guess I do! I know LOVE is Blind but I got NUMBERS & TAPE to back it up.๐Ÿ˜Ž

Thinking about it. Roy Williams had a good Sr. Year at ou but I can make the argument that Q. JAMMER should have WON the Thorpe also. 5th pick of the DRAFT (1st DB PICKED) Had a longer career! ADD JAMMER to the LIST Who should have WON IT! Iโ€™m out.

Iโ€™d say heโ€™d be in the argument. He had all the MEASUREMENTS on paper with PLAYMAKER ABILITY & a COMPETITIVE SPIRIT. Once he added the MENTAL GAME and playing BIG in BIG GAMES. He RAN 4.3 and SAW the GAME at 4.3! I STILL USE HIS TAPE. I AGREE, ADD EARL to the CONVERSATION!๐Ÿ˜Ž

Agree Yogi. Iโ€™ve been blessed to work with many outstanding coaches over my years. Marc is one of the best Iโ€™ve lined up with. Not surprised with there success!
