Good find Brad , entertaining read. These kids aren't interested in school. I know that's been the case , maybe forever, but it's pretty puzzling to me how little they think of the opportunity to attend a prestigious University. Places like ucla and usc get 100,000 applications a year. Yet these meatheads can't think beyond the next two years or less. 🤷♂️
"The whole week they’re just fluffing your nuts,” Carmona said. “It’s pretty cool, but to a certain extent you’re just like, ‘Come on, man.’ There’s only certain things I’m really here for. I’m here for the offensive line coach and how you guys are going to develop me. Some of that stuff gets lost because they’re trying to sell you on the school.”
That's interesting thanks for posting. So we have learned what sold the tackle, the assistant that reached out to him is Cuban, the head coach personally drove him around for the weekend , and showed him the house he wants to buy.
With it locked and nobody there he calls the agent to come and let him in stating I'm the coach of Arkansas. LMAO.😜
Come on Chip start driving recruits around Westwood.
I didn't read much about the Arky recruiting,,,, not interested. Just skipped to the part about Chip.
I also didn't post with intention to bash Chip, I truly didn't. As I've posted a few times here, I actually like the him. His personality is amusing. Not the type of guy who's going to wear Jordan shoes and ripped jeans when recruits visit campus.
I saw it as the Arkansas coach finding a commonality and making a connection. In this case, it happened to be the Cuban rhing. Sales 101.
Pittman has a big personality and the story was kind of funny but what Carmona seemed to like is that Pittman spent time with him and made him a priority. Maybe Chip doesn't like Cubans.
UCLA had the worst line in the PAC 12 yet Kelly didn't seem to care much one way or another about landing Carmona. He treated him like a preferred walk-on. He was probably busy working on the new "1st Down" offense.
Looks like UCLA isn't getting any good linemen in the portal this year.
funny because a lot of talk on this board about Chip and his distaste for recruiting. It's definitely true. LOL, can't really blame him. Wouldn't want to kiss ass, especially to a kid in his early 20s.
I really don't get Chip Kelly. From what is said, MOST of the players on the team really like him, or at least don't know him enough to dislike him. NFL players basically said he was a POS racist and and asshole. Fans hate him,ohhhh do they hate him. Other coaches seem to generally like and respect the hell out of him, the big sports media guys always give him good spots and set him up for good takes. He is just an enigma. Hopefully a soon-to-be-unemployed enigma.

One thing I know for sure is that UCLA's recruiting would be a lot better if UCLA had Pittman instead of Chip.
Chip must have really wanted him, because he usually doesn't talk to recruits at all, unless he is behind the curtain.
