I think Holtz just figured if he would come, why pass on it?

And Holtz took Rick Mirer - #1 USA Today high school quarterback and a guy who basically broke all of Jeff George's record.

The Mirer experience wasn't great - but it wasn't that bad. Unfortunately, Powlus seemed slower/less athletic too.
