Once again you can't seem to understand that 2 things can exist, I never said a kid hitting 300 and all singles was good either, but here's a little idea you might think of, maybe that kid just happens to be the best defensive SS in the area and scored 28 on his ACT, want to wager whether that type kid is a prospect or not?
Why yes that kid is a prospect....kinda like a %50 passer that and run..that like a 265 defensive SS....the 28 act prospect is like a player that maybe didnt play well but helped inspire other around while developing his skills at a higher level....they are called intangibles.....that we can agree on...see JG is kinda like a Billy Beane...all the skills but not quite at the level he should be for those skills..
Lots of small schools all across the country have kids that struggled or had bad stats in HS. Baseball recruiting isn't necessarily about the talent of the player, it's about talent in the SEC and some of the top power5 baseball schools and at the top programs of their specific divisions, not so much the smaller schools. They all want talent but because how they must recruit a player, grades and test scores will get him more scholarship money than the baseball portion. Lots of .265s with good grades, 27 ACTs and money littered throughout college rosters in baseball.
If you say so, I know at least 25-30 the last 5 years alone. There are 1500+ baseball schools out there, 50,000 players and yes a bunch of them struggled statistically hitting the baseball. Most only get about 35-50% of their school cost through their baseball money, the rest comes from academic scholarship thus coaches are all the time filling their rosters with high academic kids whose baseball skills are often suspect. You can almost bet that every team in the country has 2 or 3 academic guys because they are basically free to them, some D3s and D2s have teams full of academic kids, heck, D3 doesn't even give athletic scholarships as all kids are on academic ships.
Like I said its more about talent at all top schools at all levels, especially D1 and JUCO, D2, D3 and NAIA are where grades and test scores are as important as talent and often the main factor in players being recruited to play. I know several NAIA schools that carry 60-70 players when you combine their JV and Varsity together, those rosters may have as many as 5-10 kids on their JV that hit in the 200s in high school. Everyone focuses on the big D1s but there are many more opportunities in baseball at the lower divisions.
Another false narrative by you. I've already told you once that I've not seen Salter so can't really say, in that same post I basically asked you if you had a problem understanding that the fact that size and strength come in all sizes. I'm also not sure why you cry about folks saying BM isn't physically ready. He looks to weigh about 190 soaking wet and that's a skinny scrawny 190 with very little muscle tone. 6'4 200 is skinny too generally. 6'4 frames need at least 215+ lbs with muscle to play at their best I feel, BM was nowhere close to those type numbers last season and I've not heard 1 report, not even from his lover, that he improved his weight or strength since last season. I thought JG needed weight too and am glad to see he put some on. You're the QB guru, you should know better than anybody how important the weight room is for a QB, 1 simply to get stronger in order to play better and 2 a QB can earn his teammates respect by the effort he puts in working out beside them. Whoever coaches Bailey on the side evidently knows this and was successful at helping Bailey get his body ready to play as a Fr, you failed BM by not getting him ready physically, it should have been the #1 thing you taught him.You’re part of the negavols because you disagree with his ridiculous opinions. Gotta remember, this is the guy that claims Maurer is undersized for the SEC at 6’4 200 lbs but Salter is a beast at 6’1 185.
Really, pretty sure all the coaches and all the players have given nothing but good reports on our 5th year Sr QB so far this year and all you've done is crap on their views or call it coachspeak. Tell us what good news you are hoping for that hasn't already been stated by Coach Pruitt, the staff and several of our players during camp.
DO you just like to argue over opinions??? FFS....i wanna hear someone come out and say" JG is really on another level throwing the ball...he has made leaps from last year " or something of the sort ..all we hear are about his leadership...CJP, CJC. Brandon johnson...he can lead all he wants..Wienke said his anticipation has improved.....looking for a few definitive statment to instill confidence in JG. Not coach apeak...
I keep seeing you act like you won some grand debate.There’s more to the story than you THINK you know.
But I’ll keep waiting because I know you debating with me pointless. You have no ammo to defend your position vs the actual truth without making yourself less credible than you already have. That’s why you pull a KTown when you’ve lost such debates. Rather than be a man and say “you’re right, I hadn’t thought about it that way” you chose to disappear from that actual debate and ignore it. Very KTownish of you.
Let’s hear your comparison on individual talent of the 4. Not just a smug opinion because you just don’t like him.
