Having said that I'm tyring to keep in mind that they hauled in a huge class last year and hopefully it will all work out..
Maybe Sroggins, Heaps, Rettig, and others are silents and he's just trying to get a little attention from Layla.

It's what we do when it seems all is lost!


Why don't these recruits post here? It would make it a little easier.

I am going to say this once believe not believe me it is ok. I have said it before. I am going to beat that horse one more time. Taj had ZERO chance of playing in Kiffin's system or any true pro-style. Taj is basically illiterate. He would not have been able to process all that info and then make quick decisions. It is what it is. You do not make an 18 on the ACT unless you only have basic reading skills. Like the ability to read the drive thru menu. I really wish people would stop spewing this stuff when they wish we had a QB. Sorry my opinion on this is so strong it is just absurd to think a guy like Taj belongs in any thing but a spread or something he can run in.

Alright I have sad for the last time. I will not disrupt this Taj banter again. Carry on.

I can't argue that...Look at Vince Young.. he is a perfect example of what you said...

One minor point of contention... I'm pretty sure there are some 18 or lower ACT posters out there.

I realize Bammer has more, but still, it's not that bad.

yea....I'm pretty sure it was really bad on it... I think he even bombed on the mental testing after he got out of school too when he got ready for the NFL draft..

We don't know Taj's first time. That was probably not it. 16 is the minimum needed some schools require 17 for athletes...There are 5 choices....and 18 is 50 percent correct. But you will get some right guessing. There are 33 percent about questions rated as easy. These are questions a 6th grader should answer correctly. You then take the probabilities and it turns out he probably new about 1/3 of the answers and guessed the rest he got. I would guess he had tutoring to get that score. I have tutored such athletes before.


A DB or a DT or a OL men is one thing. A QB with that is another. And Taj is no Vince Young fyi. Kiffin only wants guys that can make it to the NFL. He has no chance as a QB.
