how’s your night vision?

Been away for a while.

Night vision is great.   No halos, no problems with headlights.

What's the story with Butler?

I was excited when he committed but now it seems like there is some vitriol associated with him.

Bad teammate?  Cancer in the locker room?  Likes to party too much?  Over rated as a prospect?

What gives?

I've gotten the impression that he doesn't have good hands and isn't always where he's supposed to be in his routes.

He was committed to USC as a DB before he flipped to us late in December. 

Probably should go ahead and move back to DB at his next stop.

Butler did one of those early commitments to USC in the fall of 2022, decommitted in early ‘23, pledged his loyalty to Deion and Colorado in May, then backed off that commitment in December.

Quote

ESPN 300 athlete Aaron Butler decommitted from Colorado on Saturday, his father confirmed to ESPN.

Butler had been committed to the Buffs since May, but is now the third decommitment for coach Deion Sanders in the 2024 class since November.

His commitment to us kinda came out of nowhere (though the above linked article did mention Texas as a possibility). He pretty much picked us on signing day, or the night before.  He signed with us without ever visiting, so that’s always a tricky one for both player and school.

I recall he was very active with social media and enjoyed the spotlight. This video was an example of:

I have zero inside knowledge, but I suspect having such ambition, then redshirting for a year with no game action, then seeing yourself at the bottom of the depth chart can lead to a less than harmonious environment.

Unknown guest on Dan Patrick:

Scouts watching tape saw a big difference in arm strength between arch and Quinn.  Sark was loyal to Quinn.  Quinn is similar to sanders. 

Anyone with eyes saw a big difference in arm strength between Arch and Quinn. That's like saying the sky is blue.

If Arch wasn't true team guy there would have been a very bad QB controversy last year. Arch sat 2 years behind an extremely limited QB whom he saw every day he was better than. He did it quietly. 

A lesser QB would have blown up team chemistry and transfered if he didn't get his way.

I don't know if Arch was better at processing the defense than Quinn though...

We score more points per game with Arch last year.  Easily.  It will be obvious this year, even with less skill position talent and arguably a step back on the OL.

Quinn accounting for 17 turnovers himself doesn't sound like he has much of a grasp either. Or he couldn't physically do what he needed to do with that processing.
