    Well, if recruiting requires that I be willing to get down on all fours and do whatever is necessary to convince an 18 year old to play football at my university, then yes, you're right...it's definitely not for me.  As for you...NTTAWWT.

    That's basically what it requires of coaches, so yah

    Martell was the #50-something composite player

    Ewers is currently #1 composite player.

    the list of composite #1 QBs that were total shit is very short. even the list of top 5 composite QBs that were shit is short.

    5* composite QBs != top 5 overall composite QBs

    Yah you're talking a generational talent here at QB. Basically a 6*

    This comes with the caveat that there are many other more important factors than pure arm strength

    Yes, and that's exactly where I'm going with it. And remember, we're talking juniors in HS here.

    If a guy throws 65 and a guy throws 79, I don't see that being a big enough difference as it applies to the size of the football field and the way the game is played, especially when you're talking high school kids. Guys who can throw the ball 65 yards in a high school competition probably have a strong enough arm to where when they're in college they can get the ball 10-15 yards to the sideline in a time that's not significantly slower than that of the 79'r. Then of course comes in your accuracy, obviously.

    But considering that your average passing play in college is probably somewhere around 8-10 yds, that difference would not be very significant across that distance.

    Now obviously, pass on a QB who can only throw it 25 yards.

    Also interested in how long it takes your average 79 yd pass to reach its destination. I'm guessing 4ish seconds. Now how long does it take your 9-route receiver, un-bumped, to get to the point where a 79 yard pass hits them in stride, 5-6 seconds? Now how often is a receiver going to be able to get off like that? And when they are able to get off like that, is the QB going to escape pressure for 5-6 seconds in a way to get off a 79 yard pass?

    Basically what I'm getting at is that the ability to throw a 79 yard pass, though very impressive, isn't something that really fits the game of football, outside of your Hail Mary situation, or complete circus play.

    Even if he doesn't reclassify, he's about 98.36% likely to enroll in January.

    Running Backs should do this as much as possible.

    Running Backs should go to college teams with a pipeline of RBs ahead of them, so they only have one big year, their junior year. Then they should go pro.

    Running Backs should be paid for their production OUTSIDE of the salary cap.


    HOOK'EM JAYDON BLUE !!!

    Whether I like it or not, I get what these kids are doing, especially RBs... but I wonder if at some point they run the risk of  not having played enough football, or not getting enough reps/action, and if that could be a setback. I haven't thought that through a whole lot, just something that crossed my mind recently.

    The $9.95ers are pussies and Texas is landing Denver Harris and has a great shot at Brooks.

    Given that the Frisco guy wants to play C, he's someone everyone should move up their board in terms of priorities and how he'll be recruited. I don't know what the film says, but he's supposed to have a mean streak for a rich kid. 

    Good shit, close!

    Ugh. Idiots!

    (ran out of edit time) But seriously, I went stalker mode on the kid two days back and dove into his twitter likes/favs. The kid likes just as many Longhorns tweets as Fuckeye, and it's not like he's going around liking/fav'ing shit from every school. It was just a reminder that the kid genuinely loves Texas, so hopefully that's enough to keep him in distance.... but if ctj's interpretation of the situation is correct, and the staff is "done" with him, then: A. That's stupid; B. Better the fuck land Manning.
