Recruiting Football Talk VIII


No one is talking about this, but this could be the next cheating scandal in college football. I have heard rumors that some teams have hacked opposing teams helmet communications. If so, this could be big.

Read the article: I wonder what happened in the Texas A&M - Arkansas game
Hard to believe the headsets aren't secure at this level. Bad oversight.
 
He’s been injured this year. Had shoulder surgery, and I rlly think it put him behind the 8 ball. Next year I think he has a lot more opportunities. I just hope he stays committed and has a chip on his shoulder for next year.
I think Seldon will transfer.

He’s redshirting I think. That’s why he’s just catching kicks and not returning them.

Oh man, I hope not. That'd be like when we signed Machado or Bauer. I really don't want to have to watch Soto every day, being the tool that he is, pacing back and forth between pitches and staring down the pitcher like he's trying to be intimidating. (honestly, if I were a pitcher it'd be hard not to crack up)

Honestly if I were the gm…I’d go after Mike trout..he’s played baseball the right way standing by the team that drafted him and they’ve made no moves to position themselves getting him a World Series and I feel bad for him he’s a sitting duck there.he was the opposite of Bryce Harper when he came into the league…Bryce has calmed down a lot but factoring in all his set back injuries Mike trout is that one guy I really want to win a World Series…other players of Soto’s caliber has a ego problem.

Already got plenty of players on IL 100 games a year, don't need to add another one..

Just become a data analyst.

Amass tons of historical data.

Backtest your model for months or years.

Specialize in the "hidden areas", ie small college conferences...little known props. The big games, pro spreads, etc are the sucker bets. Look where the bookies aren't.

Pretty much like being a day trader. Full time job, prove your model through thorough backtesting before ever spending a dime in real life, and 90% will still be losers. And now algos backed by funds are much better than most humans and can manipulate markets with enough capital. Fun times.

Like trading in capital markets the data can only take you so far because it’s priced in. You’ll never build sharper models than Vegas, they invest heavily in talent to produce sharp sharp models. A good model is a start but the sharpest gamblers find qualitative edges that most of us normals would never think of. Again very similar to trading.
