Guys, I warned you about Al Golden DOWN the stretch. He's like a thick, muscular thoroughbred HUGGING the rail and picking up steam. His veins ARE pulsating as he turns the corner and HEADS for the finish line. If you thought HE would take the LAST few weeks laying down, well you obviously DON'T know about Al "Critter Claws" Golden. I warned YOU about him RUMMAGING through other program's commitment LISTS, and now he's primed to PLUCK a multi-position star who is COMMITTED to a 12-win Missouri TEAM.
As I SAID in the Mike Smith thread, Al Golden is APPROACHING Butch Davis territory in terms of his EVALS. When I log onto the world WIDE web, I don't care what ESPN or Scout has to say ABOUT a player. Our head COACH is the best evaluater of talent in this COUNTRY. Somewhere in CORAL Gables, Al is dressed in an all KHAKI outfit with hiking boots, because he is DIGGING for those last second GEMS. Even though he is covered in DIRT, he will EMERGE from the mine with a BUCKET full of the next great sleeper prospect. This is why I URGED everyone not to PANIC. We will LAND Ross because Golden finishes what he STARTED. Recruiting is a MARATHON not a sprint, and Al "The Raccoon" Golden is SCURRYING to the finish line with the NEXT Ed Reed in tow.
