Sorry he didn’t pick USC

Sorry he didn’t pick USC
Has nothing to do with who he picked. I would bet he is a fantastic talent, I was only commenting that the level of competition was likely shit. There are a bunch of small catholic HS’s in CA that are really, really bad at football. My HS was one of them. National power in basketball, but really bad at football (we won 1 game the 4 years I attended).My guy is a 4 star rated RB and just put up the best stat line in the country this week, so yeah…

He is almost assuredly a phenomenal talent, I was just trying to add context to the stat line.
@Man of Leisure and I have traded CA HS football stories back and forth, and I think he will back me up when I say that in CA there are catholic football teams and then there are catholic football teams.
I dunno man, maybe they graduated a lot of players, but that Mater Dei team he played Friday night was 13-0 and state champions last year.
Hmm, didn’t think to look at their previous year, just saw they were 0-4 this year. Doesn’t matter either way, the kid looks fantastic. We’ll see how he does at the next level. I am likely an anomaly, but I like it when UCLA is good. They do it rarely (
), but it helps both schools.As an aside, @Man of Leisure , this popped into my YouTube feed and I thought you might appreciate it
Can’t stomach to watch through that entire video. I’ll say two things though: 1) Trinity league (Catholic school league in So CA) is the best hs football league in the nation and 2) Matt Grootegoed is the best high school football player I’ve ever seen.
Grootegoed was really, really good (he was offensive and defensive POG in the state title game!!!!), but for me it was DJ Williams by a hair. The fact they were both on the field that night was amazing and being there is still a top 5 sporting moment for me.
Daylon McCutcheon was the best player (single game performance) I ever saw live. I saw him play his senior year and he was unreal.
Big game for us on Saturday. Sadly, I'll miss it.
Wild that yalls game got skipped over by GameDay for App State vs. Troy
What can we do. Maybe next time Jimbo should't allow himself to get cucked at home on national TV by a minnowish school in the preceding week.
Said minnowish school being... App State
As an aside... As a Clemson fan, I strongly encourage Miami to schedule App State
Maybe the Notre Dame job is too big for a rookie head coach like Marcus Freeman.
I would expect ND to go after Fickell should this season be a bust.

It's grotesque but to add to that sensationalist headline the cost included a handful more recruits on the same trip, something like eight total recruits plus family members that tagged along (heard this on ESPN the other day).
It’s jaw dropping what was spent. And there was a group of 14 recruits in the near future (the next weekend?) on whom UTA spent even more $.
I hope Gus Johnson is okay. Got replaced at play by play by Klatt in the middle of the game because he wasn’t feeling well…don’t see that very often. I like the energy he provides.
Kanak the true freshman who followed Venables from being a Clemson commit looked impressive after a senior LB got ejected. Already a fan favorite. Good to see OU looking like old OU, regardless of the opponent.

Those plays are total flukes mostly but I think the secondary coaches will have a field day on why every single player back there closed in on the ball versus having a few players assigned to remain in lateral zones to contain a fluke catch/run. They had nearly twice the numbers advantage at 7-4, should not get beat like that.
Total heads up play by AS#13 though.

Not condoning it but coaches yelling at players is an ancient tradition... I've heard of and seen worse!
Amazing stuff
Shit, I didn’t post the whole clip tweet. It started with a close up of the poor QB who was taking that barrage.
Kiper's current draft board:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I would have Addison much higher (# 3 or 4)
- Will Anderson Jr., DE – Alabama Crimson Tide
- CJ Stroud, QB – Ohio State Buckeyes
- Jalen Carter, DT – Georgia Bulldogs

- Bryan Bresee, DT – Clemson Tigers
- Bryce Young, QB – Alabama Crimson Tide
- Bijan Robinson, RB – Texas Longhorns
- Paris Johnson Jr., OT – Ohio State Buckeyes
- Peter Skoronski, OT – Northwestern Wildcats
- Jordan Addison, WR – USC Trojans
- Andre Carter II, OLB – Army Black Knights

We (most anyway) might have been too low on Addison because of his weight; he’s a baller.
The guys that pay really close attention to game speeds and whatnot all seem to think we’re too high on Mayer. They think he isn’t going to test well.
I take Kiper with a massive pinch of salt. I do like Addison and JSN as the main receivers. Will Anderson will probably wind up a Texan imo.
CJ is too high. I like the kid but wouldn't take him at #2, more of an NFL prospect at the moment. May revise after the end of the season.
I think he's that high because he has an absurdly good TD to INT ratio (44/6) and passed for nearly 4.5k yards last year as a redshirt freshman. I would definitely take him over the likes of Young, as I think he's a more prolific passer who is better suited for the league.
Personally, I would have Addison staying for his Senior year

Fortunately the QB will stick around. Unfortunately, your lead RB, who looks like he's old enough to retire from the NFL, will finally be departing college football at age 26.
That's fine (I think), skill players are not the issue. I am terrified of what is going to happen along the lines and in the linebacking corp.
If this is true they should never work in a football capacity again. Like ever.
That is so fecked up. He should sue
@Carolina Red this is a great game.
These overtime rules are interesting, kinda a shootout.
Our backup DBs are so shit
Bit of a soft TD alright.
Like… I get that we’re down 3 DBs so that’s gonna make things tough, but damn they’re just letting guys run past them all day
