The Decision: Cedric Dozier Edition

Email
PrintFor the first time I can remember since Jonathan Stewart, WSU will be one of the hats on the podium as a top recruit makes his college decision. Cedric Dozier will be choosing between Cal and Washington State at a 2:30 p.m. press conference. We've talked a lot about Dozier recently, but if you aren't up to speed here are the important things to know.
- Dozier is very good.
- We want him.
- Cal also wants him.
We will, of course, be streamin' and threadin' Dozier's press conference with live video of the event embedded below. Cal's recruiting class is getting picked apart, top piece by top piece. While I feel bad for our brethren at Califronia Golden Blogs, Dozier to WSU would be a huge pickup.

I hope we get Dozier
but I would feel bad for the guys at CGBs. I like those guys over there. They are like the opposite of BN.

In a way, Cal brought this on themselves.
If they didn’t destroy us this year, there’s a chance Wulff keeps his job. If Wulff is the HC, no way Dozier even sniffs WSU. So, really, you only have yourselves to blame, Cal. Remember that next time you try and clobber us.

By the way,
I can’t believe CC is streamin and threadin a recruits announcement. I was a little shocked.
CougCenter OG since 9/2/2008 | @TheSoCalCoug
I think we proved we would stream and thread anything after we did it for uniform unveils.

the live feed at the Lentil Festival this fall.

One of these days
we should set up a separate gamethread for the OGs so we can stream and thread the regular gamethread.

When is the HBO WSU reality showing getting underway
I hope we’ve been touting that too our recruits
I just hope it has a different ending than The Sopr

Thats awesome
Where’d you get this scoup? Are they on Twitter or something? Now feel like Im missing out.
I meant that as a reply to Lawler's
parents mentioning the HBO gig
I hear Mychal Thompson is pissed this wasn't announced earlier.
He would have told Klay to stay so Mychal could have gotten interviewed by HBO.

seems to think Dozier will be a Coug.
I still think
we should tell Dozier he can play both ways if he comes to Pullman. Sell him on the idea he can be the next Charles Woodson or Champ Baily.
"If" we land Dozier UW and WSU fans alike can join together for one moment in an epic
LOL U MAD CAL?!?
Nah.
I like Cal. Plus the LOL stuff at SMU was in jest. I’ll only really laugh at UW.
by Kyle Rancourt on Jan 31, 2012 2:10 PM PST up reply actions 2 recs
Yeah i like Cal too
The great part if he chooses us is that Cal will blame UW and UW will be pissed that they helped us. Nothing but Win over here.
Hopefully
Dozier pulls out a real live baby Cougar when he puts the hat on
Or two older attractive women come out from behind the curtain to put his hat on for him.
Either would be hilarious.

I wonder if they return the other hat when this is over.
Hats are not cheap any more. I remember when you could get a hat for $10-15. I think he goes Cougs because he picked a better hat and they just happen to find a Cal hat at the Tacoma Mall.

It's too tough to tell...
Back in the day (10+ years ago), you would’ve been able to tell if it had been worn because the stickers would have been removed. With kids these days, you never know…

Is Leech
in the crowd? Is he even allowed to be there?
WSU should have set up a stream of the coaches watching the stream.
When Dozier announces they either high five and celebrate or start throwing things and kicking trash cans. I would have watched.

by Kyle Rancourt on Jan 31, 2012 2:24 PM PST up reply actions
No I did.
He can talk TO them, sure. But he can’t go on record and say YAY DOZIER! until he officially faxes in his LOI
by Kyle Rancourt on Jan 31, 2012 2:27 PM PST up reply actions
Is he allowed to be in the same room as him?
He could show up and not talk to him.
Hopefully the family over everything sign
means he wants to stay close to home

So wait, is this actually an in school assembly, during school hours?
Streamin' and Threadin' and Shellin | @shellin1
This weirdly reminds me of
back at PHS when we had some assembly to announce all the various awards and scholarships people got. All the smart kids got their stuff, and it was cool. For some reason they kept announcing the dollar amounts people were rewarded. Then the one guy who got a ride to play for Tulane gets like all the monies everybody else got x2. lol Footballs.

My best friend went to Cal and got a 4.0 in high school
at Newport in Bellevue and barely got a 3.0 at Cal. Hopefully Dozier takes that in too consideration
I think at Cal they do
I think thats more of a private school thing
Cal is a public school
I think you have to go to class at public school. Its only private school they can just give you your grades
The whole thing was a joke.
Also, let’s not speculate that he’s not smart enough to go to Cal, please.

There's a great speech class at WSU I can recommend.
Even though you are doing way better than I would at that age.
Is this...
his senior project? where you have to do a 10min speech kind of thing? This is my first time watching something like this… I thought they just chose a hat and said thanks..
Im heard him say something about "crying like a punk"
thats about all I’ve picked up though
I have perfect headphone sound quality
and you still can’t hear half of what he is saying. Cellphones are good camcorders.

I can't handle poor public speaking.
It’s like watching karaoke sober. I’ll just keep checking Twitter until it explodes and then rejoin the threadin’.
This mean he's coming here?? This is a recruit committed to Cal

Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville.
I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you’d say. Now where were we, oh ya. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because if the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

To my son Homer...
I leave these: a box of mint-condition 1918 liberty-head silver dollars. You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in Zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen J. D. Rockefeller flying by. So I run out of the house with a big washtub and—Where are you going?
by BigWood! on Jan 31, 2012 2:48 PM PST reply actions 2 recs
anyway, about my washtub
I just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a “walking bird”. We’d always have walking bird on Thanksgiving with all the trimmings: cranberries, Injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we’d all watch football, which in those days was called “baseball.”

Yep. All this is assuming there was inherent value in listening to the kid even if he DID pick WSU.
I would say there’s a pretty good argument for “there is not.” Hence, all the writing I got done while he was thanking all 1,438 students at Lakes.
It was a waste of time ... because?
Personally, I’m just glad we’re relevant again.
