This kid gives me a headache. I can’t imagine how much drama he will be wherever he goes.

I can't decide. He's drama but if he picks the right spot there's talent there.

I just hope the kid comes to his senses and signs anywhere but Colorado for his own good.

Me when the Phillies sign Yamamoto and AA drops his classic in response “We want to do anything that makes the club better but it has to make sense”

My buddies were trying to think of a guy who had a drama-filled recruitment then went on to have a great career. Have there been any?

Alex Collins from Arkansas is the best one I can remember

Now that you mention those cases, I guess I'm thinking of a specific type of "drama-filled recruitment." I'm thinking more about guys who commit, then decommit, I might go here, I might go there, I committed but Signing Day comes and goes and I didn't sign anywhere, etc. Self-induced drama, I guess.

Zach Evans had that really weird recruitment where he did that and had a pretty good production at OM and got drafted. Wasn't a star though.

Like everything else in life, when you’re great people tend to minimize/forget the headaches.

There’s a sliding scale of tolerance between how big of a pain in the ass someone is and how good they are at something.

The more negative attributes that you bring to the table, the more positive ones you need to cancel them out.

If your talent/ability/whatever positives you bring to the table outweigh your baggage, you'll stay around, get second chances, etc.

Not that worried about platoon splits

More interested in seeing the GB% continue to drop
