You are taking this way too personal. Lifer started this thread after the other got locked because he wanted to be fair to the kid. The Washington kids was offered nearly a year ago. He has 4 G5 offers now, several Ivy League offers, and is going to the SEC as a PWO. These aren't the same thing. Don't take offense when folks look at your friend's offer list in the same manner you looked at Mason Fine's and many other of our recruits. Your heart is in the right place but you have to understand that you can't see the kid as objectively as others because of your relationship.
These guys aren't downgrading your friend, they are #expectingmore as you have instructed them to. You crow about offer lists for every recruit of ours except the ones you know personally. If Lifer had a friend with Zack's offer list, you wouldn't hold back your displeasure, I guarantee that.
If this staff believes Zack deserves a scholarship or a PWO offer, I trust their judgement. If he doesn't, I hope he comes in as a regular walk on and proves that he deserves a scholarship offer. If neither of those, I hope he heads to Commerce because Carthel is a good dude.
