    Our entire 2018 DB haul except Jamison was filled with low to mid 4.6 guys. Physicality and length is their strength.

    Sterns' play recognition lets him play much faster than his times would indicate.

    Agree that Sterns instinct's, intelligence and preparation allow him to play faster..... Like Earl Thomas.

    Think Caden will learn a lot from his mistakes vs BlowU....

    BJ Foster - 6’1” - 193 - 4.52 40 - 4.27 shuttle - 33.7 vertical - 33’ powerball 
    Jalen Green — 6-0 - 171- 4.69 40 - 4.01 shuttle — 32.7 vertical - 33.5’ powerball

    +1..... Thanks for posting this "golfclap"

  3. Six straight weeks of playing heading in to Baylor Game....Last 4 Games was a pretty tough & physical stretch (USC, TCU, KState, BlowU)

    So Horns need to start strong in 1st quarter and rotate more players in earlier during Baylor Game to protect against injuries to starters due to being banged up and fatigue....

    Winning Championships usually requires some easy large Wins during the season to both 1)develop backups and 2) preserve & protect starters to be fresh as the Season goes along.....🤘

    Jones is a 4.3 guy, Foster and Boyd 4.4. Jones flys when he plants his foot and goes, but he still has below average ball skills.

    Thanks.... remember players were fooling around during summer voluntary workouts and Kris Boyd won most races.  John Burt and D'Shawn Jamison had a few wins, and Devin Duvernay was competitive....

    So Foster is faster than Sterns.... Also curious how fast Green is??

    I remember Cook being criticized by recruiting folks for lack of speed..

    Posted in the Hamm thread, but he's reporting Shepherd will again visit aggy for an official visit against Ole Miss.  Was supposed to come to Texas this weekend but isn't planning to right now.  

    One team is the hot trendy team that pushed its way into the top 10 with 3 wins over ranked opponents.  The other team has one decent win over an overrated Kentucky program and is staring at a 5 loss season.  If we win out, we're going to close well OOS.  I think we're going to see an even bigger OOS recruiting push for the 2020 class with all the shady happenings in Texas with aggy.  

    So for folks that might know and be familiar with Shepherd, is he a good kid that just needs time in College to grow up..... or more likely the type that won't work hard and ends up later transferring to JUCO??

  6. SIAP....

    Who might be early enrollees in 2019 Recruiting Class??

    Seems like the stud early enrollees are such difference makers for a program..... they usually only play 3 years anyway and  because of EE have a much better chance to be more productive all 3 years.  Sterns & BJ are examples of 2018 Classes EE's that have provided great production as Freshmen.

    2018 Early Enrollees   

     BJ Foster, Caden Sterns,  Anthony Cook,  Brennan Eagles,  Cameron Rising,  Casey Thompson,  Ayodele Adoye. Mike Grandy,  Ryan Bujcevski

    Participation chart will be interesting to see. D'Andre Christmas once again played important snaps, and we had our first John Burt sighting of the season.

    Think Overshown, K.Johnson, and maybe even Dele played....

    It seems like a lot of Sooners are whistling past the graveyard on their boards.  I've even seen comments to the effect that the bye week should give the Grimace time to install new and magically better schemes.

    Grimace....lol

    It does appear that rhule can coach. How long does he stay at Baylor?

    Rhule may be the type coach like "Purple Wizard" that stays a long time at a program like Baylor.....

    http://www.statecollege.com/news/columns/rhules-for-success-former-little-lions-rebuilding-baylor-football,1477777/

    Excerpt of article below:

    "Given his success at a non-power like Temple, Rhule could surely pick a coaching plum for his next job. But on December 7, 2016, he stunned the world of college football when he was introduced as the new head man at Baylor University.  Yes, Baylor....

    So why did this former Little Lion and Nittany Lion accept a job with a program that was in shambles? Here’s a portion of the comments offered by Rhule at his introductory press conference. “People are saying to me, ‘Hey, Matt, why Baylor?’ We sat there, my wife and I in a restaurant in New York City, one phone in one hand, one phone in the other. We said, ‘Where do we go, what do we do, where are we being called? Where does God want us to be?’ 

    “And we looked at each other over a plate of ponzu shrimp and figured out right then in our hearts we were called to come to Baylor…

    EXAMPLE FROM NEW YORK CITY

    At that point in the press conference, Rhule began talking about his parents — Denny and Gloria — who moved their little family to New York City in 1980 so Denny could share the love of God with those who battled financial and/or spiritual poverty.

    “I remember sleeping in a two-bedroom apartment in New York City,” Matt told the assembled sports journalists. “Not the glamorous, not the high-rise where the person comes to the door and says, ‘Come on in.’ I’m talking about the place where you buzz yourself in… But see, my dad was a football coach, and he was a minister… And he showed me at an early age that we serve God in whatever way we’re called to do it, and it doesn’t matter where you go.”

    Indeed, the Rhules of both generations play by a special set of rules. To them, it’s not about fame and fortune, but it’s about family and faith. "

    I feel like after the Maryland game, Herman is now at the top of the offense.  He is instructing the QBs and teaching them.  To me, the hesitancy with Maryland by Sam could be placed on Tim Beck.

    Noticed on BlowU website, that Riley still coaches QB's. 

    Might be better coaching structure for Herman to handle QBs.  He just seems happier having more control and his relationships with the QBs have appeared to improve.....

    I heard a rumor that the new president at OU, Gallogly, responded to OU's version of BMDs getting in his ear by essentially ordering Riley to fire Stoops. This jibes with the news report I saw indicating that Gallogly was present at the meeting informing Stoops he was fired. Locker room trouble and donor/admin involvement in running the team over there sound like my kind of news. I hope it's true.

    Comments matches with Dean Blevins report.....

    "Well I guess there was a lot of emotion in that locker room not only after the game, but at halftime when a player almost quit the team. It was an unusual amount of negative emotion. You can understand that because they played pitifully in the first half. 

    I did learn tonight that Mike Stoops had offered to resign and Lincoln Riley didn't accept his resignation after the game, and then today Mike learned that he had been fired, so that was kind of a strange set of circumstances. 

    The timing is curious, certainly from Mike Stoops' standpoint. Mid-season is rarely done, but at the same time there was such a huge uproar among the fandom. I don't know that all the players had bought in, and I think Lincoln Riley had brought that up to Mike. The rare mid-season fire, happened today."

  12. SIAP....

    Here's what Dean Blevins learned about the situation on Sunday:

    Just talked w James Hale comparing notes. He is firm on his breaking story that an emotional Mike Stoops was fired today. 

    Also....

    They don’t need to be good. They just need to not be the worst.  Mike is very likely the worst offensive or defensive coordinator in all of college football.  

    Bob still has quite the presence at OU...he’s constantly peeking in on operations, ‘hey guys, you aren’t going to do anything stupid like fire my retarded brother are you?’  Fuck off Bob.  

    Bob Stoops said on FOX pregame show Saturday that he sat in on some of the Offensive meetings this year, but not the Defensive meetings...

    Shane Beamer, who is entering his first season, will make $435,000 annually.

  16. So has Riley only hired two assistants that were not on Bob Stoops staff, namely Ruffin and Beamer??

    (Beamer btw is the son of long-time head coach Frank Beamer.)
