    Man, I remember when a 30 minute highlight show on Saturdays showing 15 second vignettes of a handful of games was a big hairy deal. I was just geeking out a second ago realizing that you can get highlights these days for practically any team, no matter how small, no matter how bad, in the entire state of Texas at the point and click of a mouse.

    What will they think of next?

    Millions of hours of porn delivered instantly in high def, all at the click of a button?

    I blinked, and he'd not only cut through the hole but picked up about 15 yards. Had to play it again to make sure there wasn't a skip.

    Even if the rest of the guys on that field were pretty slow, this kid's a freak. And I mean that in the most flattering way.   

    That was part of a 42-0 stomping over the defending 4A champs, Cuero. Now, Jordan Whittington isn't on the roster anymore, and I have no clue if they have anybody on defense, but I can't imagine it's all scrubs 1 year removed from a state title.

    that is kind of the entire point of The Opening, Elite 11, All Star game practices, etc

    I thought the point was to get trainers, and coaches, and shoe companies paid, and to then get high school athletes and their "trainers" to meet with agents who can help guide them to agencies and shoe companies a few years down the line when they go pro.

    See, this is the problem with that post in the Bru McCoy thread.  Because it's not only irrelevant to the Happenings of Bru McCoy (TM), but it's also being discussed in at least three other threads, so we're getting the same jokes trotted out for the 4th time.  It's like fucking Groundhogs Day.

    Groundhog Day is when you end up in the transfer portal, over and over, always ending back up in the same school at which you started.

  5. The addition of a dude holding up an LED sign telling us how long the TV timeout was going to last was awesome, however.

    Way better than just staring at the dude with the bright orange oven mitt for minutes at a time, waiting for him to wave his arm around.

    The thumbs up sign is only a 'gigem' in parts of the Brazos river valley an some slumaricious suburbs of Houston.

    In the rest of the world it is NOT a cult recognition sign. It's just a thumbs up.

    When is Aggy going to sue Facebook for misappropriating their thumbs up hand sign, that had never been used before Aggy started using it?

    Yes, if you are completely writing off Whittington and Brown, then we need to sign Jordan. I’m not writing them off.  

    I wouldn't write either of them off. However, there's a good chance that Brown is available to practice next year without getting cleared to play in a real game. And Whittington might not be a RB as much as a utility RB/WR/etc.

    kid runs weird. but he's quite a bit faster than everybody else on the field with him

    I can't tell if he doesn't have good initial burst acceleration, or if he's just dancing around amongst the defenders too much, but once he gets to top speed, he's definitely fast. It looks like his Hudl highlights are against some pretty scrub-looking teams or he's just super-duper shifty (make you miss inside a phone-booth type of runner).

  9. I heard that Ed Orgeron likes to beat women. I'm surprised that I hadn't heard that he's a woman beater before.  He beat a woman and had a permanent restraining order against him? Sounds like a shitty person. 

    I would hate for thia to be widely known and disseminated.

    2023: The Shush Man Cometh

    So I'm assuming those are varsity highlights? Don't we tell kids we only offer once they have varsity film?

    One of the hudl videos is from a scrimmage, the others are from a varsity game against Texas City.

    Found some other highlights from the Texas City game (he apparently ran 17 times for 122 yards).  http://picdeer.org/media/2122845382216798904_2919638872

    I have an 8th grader and a 9th grader right now. I've watched a lot of football over the past year and seen kids going into 6A programs and none of them come close to this guy after seeing his Hudl. Any skepticism on WTF on offering a 2023 is out the window for me. 

    Agreed. I look at these highlights, and then think "Yep. It's ridiculous to even think about offering a 2023 player, unless he plays like this kid".
