  1. If I were the kind of poster who engaged in terrible recruiting puns years before a class signs, I'd say that the State of Texas in 2021 is Milroe's Place.

    What's the deal on Tunmise Adeleye?  I know he is Milroe's teammate, highly ranked and has an impressive offer list, but what is our interest, chances?

    He's going to play out the whole process. Conner committed today, Adeleye isn't going to be done for 18 months.

    Plus he chose us in large part for our aeronautical engineering program. They lost a kid on engineering academics 😂.

    As a Texas engineering grad in Cypress, I've enjoyed pointing out engineering school rankings to A&M grads about a dozen times so far. Most of them literally struggle to process the information because it's against everything they've been sold in their lives. I mean not upset or angry, just actually confused.

    All I say is "we're a better engineering school, it's just that we don't brag about ourselves all the time."

    That's when they start getting angry.

  4. Tackling with your head down, eyes on the ground, and making contact with the top of your helmet would be an immediate self-ejection from the game if I were a coach and saw it.

    1. You are more likely to miss the tackle.
    2. You are way more likely to break your neck.

  5. By the way, over in Japan the Tokyo champions from Chofu LL went 4-0 and outscored their opponents 37-1 to win the region and advance to Williamsport. Included in that three day run was an 11-0 win over the host league. So it turns out Japan will be tough to beat again. I'm sure you're all shocked.

  6. Definitely.

    WHLL is in a weird spot now. They play Lamar National in an elimination game tonight and would have to win that then beat POLL twice in a row. They beat Lamar National 15-0 in three innings in their first game and you have to think that was against Lamar's #2 pitcher if not their #1. Do you start a back end pitcher tonight to save arms for Post Oak? I think you have to if the goal is to win the tournament, not just be the 2nd place team.

    Obviously the task is daunting at best and POLL is a very heavy favorite to advance. Just thinking about it strategically.

    I’m really happy we got Milroe over Stone but a quick glance at his brother’s ranking history on 247 says this isn’t true. 

    He got to #218 in the country between his sophomore and junior seasons and finished ranked #766. Obviously futureman is going to futureman, but Lindell Stone definitely dropped like a, um, rock, in the rankings his last two seasons.

    Ok. So I’m a bit of an expert now. I’ve watched SIX minutes of Milroe’s Hudl film.

    I’m in the minority here as a Preston Stone fan. Despite the competition level and the douchiness/daddy issues, I think he’s a complete, polished passer. That said, Milroe is obviously good enough to take if he’s ready to jump on board now. I can definitely see why Herman/Beck would be attracted to his skill set. It sounds like awesome news is coming. 

    This take keeps getting repeated and makes no sense. Who gives a shit if a 15 year old is a complete polished passer? All that means is that he's closer to his ceiling and the 15 year old whose mechanics need work has more room for improvement.

  9. So Western Hills won 15-0 and POLL won 10-0. Setting up a hell of a game tonight in Texas East between them. 

    POLL still not given up a run in entire playoff. Jeez. 

    They've given up 7 runs, just none since district.

    Go all the way and it could be like when Trumbull, CT won it all. They lost a game in district then blew through the rest of the world. Wonder if those guys who beat them in district think about how they might have been the second best team in the world but just happened to be in the same district as the best.

    I'd be happy with Stone or Milroe, but Stone looks to have the better throwing mechanics, so I'm a little biased. Also he's a 5*, and I love sipping aggy tears. 

     

    Anyone know where he may end up if we take Milroe instead?

    So when evaluating 16 year old prospects who shouldn't be playing for 4 years or more, you rank them based on whether or not they have already developed the most easily coachable thing? Interesting.

    A few handles days ago, I believe he mentioned the 2018 results were evidence that he was correct and that it was the right's dream scenario.  You know, owning the libs by allowing them to retake the house with four colored wimmens.

    lulz

    Sounds about right for his recent "logic." Good news for the Democrats, though, according to TTT logic, they won the 2016 election!

    4.13 shuttle for a dude with his height is strong to quite strong. Respectable vertical as well. A little surprised his athleticism doesn't seem to stand out more on film than it does.

     

    I see plenty of athleticism on his junior film, but it's limited by a lack of decisiveness when the ball is in his hands. He needs to trust his athleticism more and just make a move and go. He hesitates a lot once he has the ball. I really like the fact that he catches the ball softly and easily with his hands even on the dead run.

    I do agree he's probably more of a #300 in the nation type of prospect than where he's rated now.
