    You're giving us too much credit:

    No problem! And snap count is also from PFF which is helpful- not sure if I've seen it anywhere else. Ha... yeah it didn't look so small on my big monitor but just tried to look on my computer and see what you mean. I added a spreadsheet link in post that should be easier on the eyes.

    Here ya go. Added offense and also added PFF overall player grades. I know several posters on here think the PFF college grades are garbage (and maybe they are) but I figured it was at least one way to stack up past production against rest of depth chart and compared to D1 / Big 12 sample. Edit- realized it's pretty hard to see so put it in googlesheet if anyone wants it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PVwFduvFQ5mHUNm9gNHYBHGy0TN1uj8Z/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103413962120518164336&rtpof=true&sd=true

    FYI. Incoming freshmen in green, transfers in yellow.

    Did he? I don't know the kids academic prowess or post-football plans but If he's like 90% of other recruits, he's going to go major in communications or sports & exercise science orrrr.... let's just call it what it is- major in football. So maybe going to a school with the 4th most CFP appearances has something to do with his choice. I'm sure he knows his OU degree doesn't have the shine as one from Cal, Stanford, Virginia, or Dartmouth or whatever other shitty football program he would choose if his plan was to study pre-med, business, etc.

    I likey. Another lefty bat with 4 years of experience in a good program in a position of need. Over last two seasons (83 games, 54 starts): - 312/405/486 slash line - Walks decent amount (13.03%) - Strike outs not crazy (20.69%).

    I'm in if Iceman is going to be there

    Sometimes you see 'bat speed' thrown around meaning different things. In Ivan's case, they're just referring to him having a longer swing. By longer, think time from starting his swing to contact. The concern is that against better pitching (more deceptive, higher velocity) a guy with a longer swing has to get going earlier and as a result doesn't have quite as much time to recognize spin/location. It's not damning- plenty of guys out there with long powerful swings that get by with elite early pitch recognition.

    Basically. I have two friends in scouting community and up to the draft they told me he was a 3rd-5th rounder. I thought that was insane when looking at his actual production relative to recent draft comps. They would mention his age, no position versatility and concerns over his bat speed. I thought age was dumb- he improved dramatically year over year and is a kid who came from JUCO and lost a season to COVID; if anything, I think that would mean he may still have room to develop. I think he can be serviceable at 1B and if his bat is what it looks like, who gives a fuck- that guy can DH. Re- bat speed, I have no idea, just what was relayed. Looked pretty good to me though and I wouldn't bet against him.

    He went decent bit above where most people had him on the board and I don't think he really had all that much leverage already being 22.5 years old.

    2011-2012, Jester West. Actually lived on same floor as track team and some football players (Jaxon and Cedric Reed were really nice guys. Case was a dick). Hung out with Ryan Crouser quite a bit who now has two gold medals and the world record in shot put. Someone put together an NCAA Football tournament and Quandre Diggs destroyed my ass. Interestingly enough almost all the football players chose to play with West Virginia. CSB

    Gonna need some help...

    Damn, kid got paid. Good for him.

    Hiring manager didn't think you were overqualified to press a crunchwrap supreme at that point? Hope you hang around and post more. I've mostly only seen Surly/Shaggy while we sucked shit through a straw... can't imagine how fun it will be if we get this thing rolling.
  17. 40acredropout
    Yeah... gotta think that's Watts-Brown. I really want this guy. He continues to pitch well in the Cape. Last night he went 5.0 with 9 k's and only gave up 3 hits, 2 walks and 2 unearned runs. Kid is legit.
  18. 40acredropout
    Hopefully we can get a 2-1 LBSU special and get Watts-Brown as well.

    I know we seem to think the ship has sailed on him but Skenes on there at 50.

    Home Schooled and previously a Blinn commit?
  21. 40acredropout
    Yes, he sucked. I don't blame Blair... he shouldn't have ever been offered a spot here. Staff obviously saw something to believe there was untapped potential but you better be damned sure when you're wasting a roster spot at Texas on a guy with a track record like this.

    Hmm... I wonder if they modeled this after an existing initiative somewhere else? @RGBIII Tech really does have potential to be a wildcard in NIL era given Campell's deep pockets and motivation. Every player on the roster getting $25k is pretty impressive.
