Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Smokeytom]

My prediction: The kid does nothing but try to make money off his name while he is here and eventually goes back home to play close to his family. All I've seen from this dude is trouble.

Has he even turned 18 yet? He’s got a lot of maturing to do, but that’s part of a college coach’s job. He’ll come around

Gave up trying to reply, Trippie. Don't know what happened, but I agree in general.

Which is why I am in favor of the 16 team playoff as my first choice. The build-up to the NC would be incredible as would the financial payout. The lesser seeded teams would be given a fair shot and would absolutely know what they had to do in the future to make it to the FF. Over the course of several seasons there would be enough participants involved that parity in recruiting would begin to break the stranglehold of the top 4-5 programs. All we have to do is look at college basketball and baseball to see how it would open things up. The talent is getting more balanced. You have to bring your A game every time or risk getting knocked out. Same could happen in CFB if they would go this route.

That’s not why they are more balanced…… in college basketball….. it is the one and done rule and also the 3 point line….. in college baseball….. it is the lack of scholarships that spreads the talent out…. You can only give out 11.5 scholarships…..a bigger playoff system may equal some things out but not sure how much.

I've been waffling back and forth on that.

We hope

Prescient…and they were only reporting the behind the scenes. My red flag alert went off with the “smirk” Haskins displayed after the Giants selected Daniel Jones. Gave off a Ryan Leaf vibe.

He also got drafted by the Redskins….one of the worse run organizations in pro football.

If we believe in Heup, then we should believe it would work. Look what his undermanned UCF team did against that strong LSU team in that bowl game his first season as HC. Gave them all they wanted plus some. HS kids watch those games and include potential teams in their visits and camps. Some lower seeds may get boat raced initially. There will also be an upset or two each year as it builds. The committee that selects and the conferences that send their champions to the playoffs may figure out they need to schedule tougher to build their programs and brands as well. It will not be an overnight thing. but the end result would be great for the sport and fans. March Madness is as good as it gets for college ball. Who can say the same thing about BCS college football today? If they are honest - nobody. Same small group of teams nearly every year.

Great ****ing post!

Here is my way tooooo early comparison....Tate Martell.

Nah. Tate had a noodle arm and is shorter than me.

Hah maybe in personality only. Tate sucked at football. Salter is crazy talented

I'm good with reducing the amount of scholarships football gives. Spread those scholarships to other sports

Not talking about talent. Talking about personality, attitude. Just seems like a locker room cancer.

People can sit here and comment “he will change, he is under 18” LMAO since when is age an indicator of maturity? 17 to 18 ain’t making a difference.

A University of Florida football player was almost killed yesterday in a tragic horseback-riding accident.

 He fell from a horse and was nearly trampled to death.

 Luckily, the manager of the Wal-Mart came out and unplugged the horse.

I realllllllly hope he succeeds. Personality/Attitude is a big indicator of success and right now this kid cares more about fame, when he hasn’t done a damn thing.

Again, I want him to do well. I wish they would take all his social media away, then I think he would flourish.

They are not the Redskins anymore. They are the faceless brand less no passion boring bland football group.

 

[ACvol3]

ACvol said it wouldn't fair and all the lower seeds would be killed, but like, basketball does it and we see upsets alllllll the time. I think it would eventually work and over time, teams will be more balanced or that's the idea.

I think there’s more of a talent gap in football

 

[Rishvol]

And I hope they stay that way as a big middle finger to the nfl

I am glad that particular insanity didn't catch on more than it did.

Need to change the landscape of football or we going to be waiting another 100 years till Saban retires.

I get that, but Miami won fine this year with him in the locker room. He’s be starting somewhere if he had the talent. Salter does so I don’t think it’s a fair comparison

I'm sure it ain't over yet.
Several teams have nicknames that could be offensive to some people. I won't say who, or why, because I don't want to get "canceled."

Yeah. The Cleveland Indians are pursing a name change I believe. If I were a fan of a team that was caving to woke culture I would make sure me and thousands of my friends let them know our displeasure over their possible actions.

I'm offended by the Crimson Tide because it reminds too much of female monthly bodily movements

Dance girls are strong. My daughter's core is very strong also. Not sure if she could plank like that LOL.

Two years ago, At my best, I could plank (without quitting) for 6 minutes. By the end, I would look like I was in an earthquake…my entire body would be shaking so hard. My daughter just fell out laughing

I can barely do a minute plank now. I need to get that core strength back. I was 56. Now 58, time to get back in shape for the last 1.5 years in my 50s. I want to be fit when I enter my 60s.

If anyone wants a challenge, google “30-day plank challenge“. It starts off really slow, but will kick your arse by about day 20. I am going to do it again. I will start today. At the same time I did the 30 day pushup/squat challenge. 1,000 push-ups and 3,000 squats in 30 days.
Who’s with me?

Why not just do 100 push ups, 100 squats, and run 10km a day?
