Its interesting about Johnson's recruiting, he got off to a hit-and-miss start his first few classes but his last two were incredible in terms of the depth and talent he brought in, He left Erickson a great foundation to work with
Jkaz, Covington was from Dana Hills, which is more Orange County. But yeah, as a guy who lives in Southern California I was excited when UM signed him. His team went like 2-9 his senior year, IIR
Covington did try and transfer to Cal but Butch blocked it. Had a pretty good 1998 seasons. Could make all the throws but he really struggled when he felt pressure up the middle and would freeze and shell up in the pocket
Problem with Costa was that he had cement feet, about as ungraceful a QB in dropping back as Ive ever seen. He also had the slowest motion/release this side of Hideo Nomo.
Erickson's QB recruiting was pretty awful for a guy who was supposed to be an offensive guru
