This is going to sound like a little grapes. But after living in California since 1976 I don't care about where the get the guys from if the can play. Yes TX, FL, GA, AL, OH, CA, are better overall. Feels like I am forgetting one.
That said neither Brown or Griffith knocked me out that much when I saw the tapes a good 6 months ago. Don't get me wrong there good , but for me not where the are listed. One thing is Brown is a much better o-lineman at this point and for Griffith I did not so the the speed required in my book to be so high.
We might not be able to get there equals but that would not as hard as it seems. On Brown the were recruiting for dt, and I love Avery a helluva of a lot more.
