Recruiting Football Talk VII

Elijah Herring going to visit Colorado.

Lol. Good luck!

I think it's something like 14 scholarships over the next 5 years.

I once calculated for myself the effect of the additional scholarship penalty that the NCAA lyingly and crookedly tacked on to the total they originally agreed to. I don't recall the numbers; someone will, I hope. I do recall that, assuming we continued absorb the penalty at the same rate we had been applying, Heupel would not get his first full recruiting class until 2028.

You putting words in my mouth. I never said people were not as intelligent now, just less educated, dumber. Intelligent does not equal smart. I said as whole society is not smart enough to get into baseball. I never mentioned intelligence.
The difference between intelligence and wisdom (smarts) is about 20 years of hard work and experience. The difference between intelligence and ignorance is twenty foolish wasted years.
And as far as education that is not the same as going to school. In the world of "education" I have met some of the dumbest people, just because you work at school doesn't mean your smart.. And as far as compulsory public education not coming til the 1920's, in my opinion that is where the problem started.

Wait. What?

I love how much the Gumps hate Fulmer.

Can you blame them? All he did was make a career of beating their ass, both as a player and coach.

Shuckums and Dat Cajun Place

Why would you want to know where the best snot in a shell is located?

Just because you don’t have a good food palette doesn’t mean I don’t!

If it's accurate, then it will be a step toward the death of football. I guarantee you that there are still a huge number of undiagnosed concussions.

In high school? You use Jordan in the minors as your exhibit A then a high school league for the counter example? No amount of athleticism will make a receiver or running back successful if they don't know the play at any decent level of football. If the RB goes right while the OL blocks left, he's not going anywhere. If the wr runs a completely wrong route than what the play was called, he's not catching a pass most of the time.

. Your team didn't win state just because they "knew" baseball, they won state because they were physically gifted hitters, which is all about reps/experience and raw talent. And probably some good in game coaching to tell them which pitches to expect.

Really don't have time to point out all of the flaws in your thinking. A lot of it sounds good on paper but that is not how it works in reality. I will keep it to a few points.

If the RB goes right while the OL blocks left,

If you only knew how many times I have seen a play designed to do one thing be busted by someone who totally didn't know the play turn into a big play or touchdown due the clueless player's athleticism. The hunter can do everything right and a lot of times the rabbit gets away.

Whereas a clueless baseball player who's had millions of reps and exceptional bat speed and coordination will be able to hit a pitcher no matter how clueless he is

A clueless hitter no matter his physical abilities is going to find himself on the bench most of the time. A good hitter has to know the situation and understand what that means in terms of what pitch he is going to see and what fielders and baserunners are going to do. Even an elite major league hitter, if he has no clue what he should be looking for in the next pitch he is most like dead. A great athlete who is totally relying on that is not going to be good.

Your team didn't win state just because they "knew" baseball, they won state because they were physically gifted hitters

Not, true. There were three gifted hitters on that team. The rest just knew what was coming and put it in play.

Guess that’s why boxing’s illegal and they created UFC so you can add elbows and knees. Breaking news: Football is unhealthy to an individual lifestyle. Update: People love MONEY and that ain’t changing. Details at 11.

Oh there is a big difference between God-given intelligence and wisdom, knowledge, education, those are all smarts.

Go early. It's kind of a small place


*GREEN TABASCO

 

[rikberry31]

He led in tackles? Is that for real?

Yeah it is. He wouldn't have this year though.

 

[rikberry31]

That honestly doesn’t sound bad haha

They also serve it in the English version of Waffle House, Crumpet Cottage.

Nevermind.

 

[Vol423]

There's a really solid endorsement.

 

[rikberry31]

Whoever that man is, I’d like to buy him a drink.

Probably wouldn't be his first of the day.

How are his locker room cleanliness stats?

 

[mrMet]

If the sortable stats on espn are reliable, Elijah Herring was 4th in solo tackles in 2023 with 32 (after Beasley, McCollough, and W Walker), and 1st in tackle assists (47) and 1st in total tackles (solos + assists) at 79. 1 sack and 1 PD.

If the primary LB is 4th in solo tackles behind 3 DB’s, that’s a sign the LB isn’t very good imo
