Recruiting Football Talk VII

Also, how often do the best golfers in the world hit a hole-in-one? Is that statistic even measured?

Bryson DeChambeau got his first ever hole-in-one in 2019 at Augusta.

Lol I had a long post i never finished that was centered on niche sport activities being difficult for an average athlete to do. I am glad I didn't make that post because many already articulated that concept. Most sports have complex asks that take 1000's of hours to perfect. Hardest is relative. I also respect the original posters thoughts on the average new athelete being able to excel easier in some sports. Those discussions are fair imo. Here are some random sports that require a high degree of time and finesse.
At the highest levels of course.

F1 racing
Pole Vaulting
Platform diving
Gymnastics
Shooting sports


The human mind and body is pretty damn amazing.

Pro baseball players actually make contact far more than their averages suggest, it's just that not all contact results in a "hit". You can hit a baseball "correctly" and it still be an out and thus, not a hit.

What the hell does a Yeti know about baseball?

Standing in the box when a 95 mph fastball is coming your way is pretty scary for someone not doing it on the reg. Even scarier when you know the dude can also bury and 85 mph slider on your feet.

Nothing scary about golf except running out of beer on the back 9.

True, but if we're talking scarier, I'd say football is scarier than baseball just based on the risk of serious injury.

 

[Weezer]

I'll admit it. Golf is the hardest sport I ever played. Some though refuse to call Golf a sport.

I consider it more a game.....

A game I do not like.

Score prediction for the diamond duel tonight?

All athletes are good or great at what Profession they play.

Although the best Athletes are the ones who play one on one Sports.

Decathletes are generally considered the "best" athletes in the world.

I wouldn't say I'm upset but Aidoo was developing under Barnes. Perhaps with more 'strength training' over the off season, he would have taken another step forward. He did have some good games this year.

that's the thing. Barnes and co. develop them into these defensive machines, and then other teams lure them-- doesn't mean they will get better. Nobody knew Knecht till he came to the VOLS. Practicing with Mashack daily allowed him to learn to make those insane baskets with defense right in his face. You would think this would help us in recruiting since Knecht is going to be a top pick in the draft.

Good, he can get torched by us next season

Yes! The 2024 Baha Mar Hoops classic on Nov. 21 and 22 will feature Tennessee, Baylor, St. John's, and Virginia .

Yetis watch lots of television.

I think we may be into semantics.

Hole in one is a very rare event. For sure.

But the golfer hits the ball every time. Hits the fairway/green the vast majority (aim).

The best baseball players in the world are successful 40% of the time.

You’re being very generous with 40% too

 

[Orange.]

Lol

And ole Drinkie will be there, figuratively standing in a stinking pile of his own "business." Will he jump into his assistant's arms and hump him a bit if Mizzou makes a first down? Will he suggest that his underage daughter would be just right for his new QB?

The Masters has a par 3 event every year. This year, there were 3 hole in ones amongst the many that participated

Decathletes are generally considered the "best" athletes in the world.

They are 10X more athlete than regular athletes.

Caitlyn Jenner approves of your post and would like to hang out in your yard with Tod & Kim.

How many days left to go into the portal this spring? Anyone else we may lose?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol

LMFAO!! Just looked at that dump, is keeping the rocky/grassy knoll!!! WHY? Why did we let these douchiz into the SEC?

I must be part Yeti. Most of my clubs have ended up 'stolen.' Aka in the drink.

Hockey has to top that list. They literally fight each other.

If you watch baseball, you have to watch a lot of television just to get through one a half a game.

Random fact...since Deion was hired at Colorado (12/3/22), 73 players have transferred out of his program.

Golf is the only game that you have to practice every day just to still suck.

Ice skates can be a deadly weapon.
