I am Getting Tired of This Sh....

First there was Utah State's Kevin Robinson, then Nevada's Roosevelt Cooks and now it Louisiana Tech's Quin Harris. It seems like every team Fresno State plays; there is always some sore former Valley high school standout wanting to get back at the Bulldogs for not recruiting him.

WR Robinson was shut down by Fresno State, but MLB Cooks went ape shit on the 'Dogs. It seemed he shut down every run play up the middle. Now, OLB Harris hopes to do the same.

Harris is from Visalia's Redwood High School and was recruited by Fresno State and Louisiana Tech. But supposedly as signing day approached the Bulldog coaching staff asked him to walk on.

"I said I'll go play Division II before I go walk on,'' Harris said.

Is this another case of who said what? The same thing was said about Robinson's scholarship offer. I am getting tired of this, as Fresno State gets better, there will not be enough scholarships to offer every Valley kid. Especially, since the talent in the Valley is getting better every year.

Note to the Valley kids who want to attend Fresno State. Pat Hill is one of the very best indicators of next level talent in the nation. Of the ten Valley products in the NFL, nine played at Fresno State. The one who did not was Ricky Manning, and he went on record at the Senior Bowl in 2003 about some regrets of not staying home to play college ball.

If Hill is asking you to walk on, there is a reason for it. Look at some of the walk ons that have gone through Hill's program. Cameron Worrell went from undersized walk on to all-WAC FS to eventually making the Chicago Bears roster. Logan Mankins was a freshman All-American, 2nd team AA his senior year, and was a first round pick by the Super Bowl champs. Stephan Spach went from a starting H-back in college to making the roster of the Eagles as a tight end.

Senior Garrett McIntyre is a two time all-WAC player, a preseason All-American and a possible second day NFL draft pick. Another senior, Bryson Sumlin was a 1,000 yard rusher last year and quite possibly will be in a NFL camp in next summer. Name one other program in the country that can boast as many former walk ons in the NFL. Note, of the three mentioned above that are in the NFL, all are from the Valley.
