Can you please take that to the BANGLADESH INFRASTRUCTURE CLOAK ROOM???

Is that next to, "I'd Pee in Her Bangladeshi Butt"?

Yeah, I’m with you on WRs usually, but my friends more directly involved with the landscape are swearing on a stack of bibles that Moore is a better version of Waddle and the best WR recruit in Texas since him. Still wouldn’t surprise me if he busts though. 

How does/did Johntay Cook stack up in this mix coming out of high school?

The Top 100 has a lot more skill position players than trench players. If you corrected for the number of Top 100 prospects by position, the numbers would look even worse.

 

I'm surprised athletes do so well from prospect to draft.

Outside of WR and maybe OT, it shows the services are pretty good at measuring pure athleticism. Positions that require more mental aspects of the game (QB/LB/S) and projections on body development (DT/OL), the services struggle.

Townsend is going to play LB here correct? Dude would be tiny as a TE.

Wut?

He's the same size as JT Sanders

JT Sanders - 6'3" 235 as a recruit

Townsend - 6'3" 235 as a HS junior

You just have understand see there's a detail devil between being a recruit and a HS junior that makes all the difference in the world

I didn’t know he was JT Sanders size. Seems modern TE’s are more in the 6’5 or 6’6 range. But I’ve always said if you can play you can play, sounds like a solid get.

Supposedly the top of our TE board was Townsend, Armstrong, Winston. The staff loves Townsend.

Kaleb Edwards might have been above Townsend and Armstrong, but he went Bama. Townsend is still an awesome get.

Townsend is definitely the best athlete of those 3. I honestly think he has NFL potential as an outside LB.

Kaleb Edwards was a hedge in case we lost out on the other guys. Townsend was leaning elsewhere earlier in the cycle. 
Townsend was the main guy once we got traction.

Gerry has said Townsend is open to playing defense(LB) if need be as well. Just a straight up football player 

Yeah he and Bobby have said more than once Townsend is “physical” enough to play defense, isn’t dead set on offense like JT Sanders.

If he’s already 6’3, 235 lbs., does he become another edge? Seems like he might grow out of LB. Has Anthony Hill’s exact height and weight already.

So, Townsend is too small for TE but too big for LB? 

This board… 

Yup. He should have played baseball or something. He is completely useless on a football field.

Listed at 6'3, 235... Are you at all familiar with a certain TE that just got drafted from Texas?

Well, that was painfully obvious.

I still can't believe that we dedicate entire separate threads to recent commits, and don't talk about them at all in there. Just post the same random pictures over and over. 

Generally, we talk about them before they commit. It is the summer so there isn't any real football so I wouldn't expect too much useful opinion. All we have is clips. Then into their senior year, there will be random comments from people who attend games or 9.95ers. Then, afterwards it will be comments on the football board.

Cook is well trained and prepared for the WR position from working with arguable the top WR trainer in state. Runs great routes and even has the prototype WR attitude. 
 

But Moore has a gear that flat out is god given. Super fast and the speed shows on the field not just in track times. Great in and out of breaks. 
 

Of course he could always bust or prove to be super soft. Believe it or not, Evan Stewart has some of those same crazy acceleration and speed qualities, he just is a pussy and his family talks to much.

Oh this isn't just a summer thing. 

And clips would be something actually useful to put in a commit thread.

You forgot Matt McConaughey and the Bollywood dance meme, among other standards. But the boobs usually make it bearable for a second or two.

It would be especially helpful for those that don’t follow recruiting 24/7. There are some cycles I follow less closely and it’d be nice to know where the player fell on our board or how big a deal the commit exactly is. 
 

It’d be nice for that information to be succinctly displayed on the commit thread, rather than spread across dozens of pages spanning months, but I get why it’s more of celebration than useful discussion.

The problem with those commitment threads is that the gatekeepers won't allow critical discussion about that player and it becomes a celebration thread. If you were allowed to comment about how shitty someone is there,  maybe we wouldn't be so surprised when he turns out to be shitty when he is here.

The problem is right now the 3 star project receives the same responses as a 5 star game breaker. Maybe the hotness of the reaction gifs can be correlated to the commit’s expected impact. Just spitballing here…
