  1. Yeah man, some of the best schools in the country academically are small. A lot of kids that you will never see play volleyball on espn are absolutely doing it right. We know a kid that went to Loyola Chicago. 6% acceptance rate. A school you would never get into unless you are on the volleyball team. We are in a small suburb in Texas. High median income level, but two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. So my daughter never wanted to go to a big school. Both me and the wife are products of big schools, so we explained to her the downfalls of it. You will hardly ever see your professor as they are too busy off somewhere trying to get published. Get used to TA's. Classes will be enormous. 1 on 1 time with your professor is damn near impossible. All that. She entertained Wake because even though they play P4 sports, their enrollment is under 10k. My kid knows she is a shiny object kid and wants a more intimate setting to stay focused. We also don't want to see her bringing home any dumbasses. So aggy was absolutely out of the question. She agreed and said aggy would be like a high school reunion.
  2. Yeah I know, my post was just saying most people don't really see the dude as Hispanic.
  3. Oh really? I didn't know that Helobious. So you are saying that just like the US has multiple ethnicities, Spanish speaking countries do too? That's a weird concept. Who knew?
  4. Fernando Mendoza might as well be named Conner Jacobson the way that guy looks.
  5. Tell him to take the money and keep his ear to the tracks. Put down some good tape and wait for interest at better programs.
  6. Yeah, that dude is way too productive to shelf. Even if a quality back in the portal is demanding a certain amount of carries.
  7. I always wondered how that year hurt incoming recruitable athletes. We were just outside kids getting Covid years and dodged a bullet.
  8. Yeah, I heard soccer was pretty bad. The whole recruiting process is a shitshow in general. These poor kids are on such an emotional rollercoaster. June 15th and kids are on pins and needles hoping to get calls. Then you get calls and these schools don't have the balls to tell you they took another kid higher on the list than you. My daughter was being recruited by Wake Forest. They were looking for an outside hitter. They had been watching her for two years. They showed up at triple crown, and their coach was even videoing her in the huddle. So they were pretty serious. They ended up taking 25 recruit Bailey Warren(DT for the Patriots and aggy Ty Warren's daughter), a kid who plays for a rival of my daughter's high school. They didn't have the decency to even let my kid know they went in a different direction. Bailey is a phenomenal athlete, far better than my kid, but to ghost us? So then Bailey flips to Baylor . I laughed. They got what they deserved. That's what these schools do to kids. No texts back No emails back. No calls back once they decide. Several schools were after my kid and we coached her to let them know she was looking elsewhere if she didn't like them. We also told her she isn't Cardale Jones, we definitely came to play school. So go to the best school you can, fuck a volleyball ranking. She is a good little player, a little undersized, but a good leaper, and an extremely powerful hitter. She is strong. At 14 she put up 150 on the weight bench and 220 on the squat rack. Had to tell the strength coach to cut that shit out! There are a ton of great schools in the NE that aren't going to wow you in volleyball but are academically strong. She chose that route. So now she is a big fish in a little pond, and that's okay. It's already served her well, because not only are they not going to be trying to recruit over you as soon as you hit campus, but they didn't even drop you after you tore your ACL just prior to national signing day.
  9. Yep. There are more and more "athletes" playing the TE position in the NFL. If you have the personnel to run it then you should. Ideally if you could effectively run your entire playbook out of the same personnel groupings you would be unstoppable. Unfortunately for us, we do not possess the personnel to run it.
  10. Shit, if Arch could've underhanded it to Wingo he should've, the way that dude catches footballs.
  11. Yeah, she is a 26. She committed in July of last year so she couldn't officially sign until Nov 12th. Crazy thing is she tore her ACL this year in school ball and we were on pins and needles thinking they might drop her. They didn't thank goodness. @BabaYaga what sport does your kid play? I forgot. I wanna say vball too?
  12. Funny you shouod say that. The number one recruit in my daughter's class is a kid who signed with Texas. The school my daughter is going to will always be barely getting in the tournament so the likelihood that she faces Texas is pretty good. My daughter has played this kid many many times in both club and school ball. The last time they played each other my kid hit .429 against them and it came down to the last set but we lost. That girl is 6'4 and an absolute monster. My kid looks short out there at 5'10-5'11.
  13. Hondo eats sausages sideways
  14. I forgot to post an update! She signed! She got a full ride to play D1 college volleyball. Me and the wife popped a bottle of champagne knowing we have a little extra walk around money. Here is the aforementioned athlete! T.mp4
  15. Ah. The ole Thanksgiving family football game. You are better than me. After three knee surgeries I cannot outrun a toddler.
  16. There once was a JAG named Earl Thomas. Sometimes JAGs work out. Colt McCoy was supposed to be a JAG but he wasn't having it.
  17. First of all, I'm curious to know how that even got to the point that you felt the need to flip the crocks around to sport.
  18. The biggest issue is the schedules. Fucking aggy playing the dregs of the SEC should never happen. The conference is just too big.
  19. I think seeing Wingo trip over his feet repeatedly against the good teams is just bothering my man.
  20. I like this kid. I'm not sure why he was called a JAG, probably because he is white? I don't know what his 40 time is but he gets plenty of separation, and I haven't seen a DB stay with him on a 9 route yet. His shortcoming is he needs to get stronger both for catching the football and blocking, but dude catches with his hands and fights for the ball.
  21. Every QB has shortcomings and its up to the coaches to work around them. Just like basketball, some players are elite at attacking the rim. Like Steph, some people are pure shooters. You don't ask prime Westbrook to be Steph and vice versa. Arch has what it takes to win a title but you have to recognize his skillset and put him in a position to win. Sark, needing to save his job, put Arch in something the better utilized his skillset.........7 games into the season and cost us a playoff spot! Here is where he is failing to do that with the test of the team. Receiver- It was pretty obvious to me as soon as he stepped on Campus that Wingo was not him. Worthy had holes in his game but he played with fire and tenacity. So as soon as we stopped trying to make him a deep threat he blossomed in the short game, where we could get him the ball and let him work. Wingo doesn't, for his size and explosiveness, does not go up and get the ball in traffic, and on screens and sweeps the littlest contact with his feet and he goes down. Yet we keep trying to get him the football like this time will be different. Spread the ball around to whoever is winning. Also, we've got a lot of young talent on the bench. Give them a chance to see what they can do. RB- Same as receiver. Baxter is a one cut and north south guy, why are we running him in OZ? Also, we need to be getting the other backs some experience. We stumbled on Brooks and Wisner being good, maybe there is another "isn't supposed to be a starter" in the stable too. Never going to know if we don't get them touches. TE- Most athletic ones on the field period. I was tired of seeing Juan Davis out there just wasting a spot last year. Everyone knew he wasn't getting the ball and his blocking left a decent amount to be desired too. Oline- This staff has no identity that they are building to. Sark coaches like he thinks we are a downhill running team but then your last two LGs are 6'6 and 6'7? You are at a leverage disadvantage as soon as you step on the field. Go look at Michigan. Interior O-line are all roughly 6'4 and shorter. Have an identity and build to that identity. The last two years your O-line play has lost you every game but one. Address it!
  22. It was always Cam Williams. 4th down and goal. Ball has to go in the end zone no matter what. QB can't throw it away and play another down and you pick that time to whiff on your responsibility with everything on the line. Shameful.
  23. Take a look at this quality TE blocking big dawg. Both TEs do everything they can ta make sure their man is the one who tackles the RB. It was like this last year AND in 2023. Nash Talks Texas Patreon_6.mp4

  25. I would say almost 50/50 with maybe a Townsend lean.
