    I don't see it with Burris.  Even before his injury, his tape looks okay to me.  I think Turner has NFL potential with proper development.  I think Burris has a lower ceiling... just my opinion.  Even if we don't get Turner, I'd be okay with slow playing Burris.  Don't forget, he plays on the same line as Jackson.  I'm not sure what his production would look like if he didn't have a 5 star DL playing next to him.

    Jackson tore his ACL his sophomore year and missed half the season. I'm sure there is probably plenty of footage out there in Burris's sophomore HUDL.

    No.

    This.  He’s a head case.  When he’s off, he’s a trainwreck.  No way he’s throwing at anybody with 2 men on base against a 2 for 2 Correa.  I wish he was headhunting, but he wasn’t.

    Fuck you, Bruin. I mean that sincerely. The pitch at Bregman's head was absolutely intentional.

    Evaluation doesn't appear to be the Shaka weakness, it's development and game planning.  

    Athleticism sure, but I'm going to have to disagree on his shooting evaluations... courteously, of course.

    Correct me if I’m wrong Lou, but isn’t the Clemson mod deep in the bag for helping pay recruits? I don’t know if it’s her or someone else, but there were strong rumors that they helped facilitate shenanigans 

    If you're saying she's super religious, then the name probably checks out.

    That was actually a more-than-decent blurb. I guess he's fine if you're outside of tOSU's bailiwick.

    I was just responding to the question about it being Olson. Wasserman was a mouthpiece for OSU which makes me dislike him....that and a Michigan grad degree. That's why I called him literate. His writing is usually fine, and when it's not Ohio State, it's fairly even keeled.

    Jeff Howe: Blake Brockermeyer on why his sons picked Alabama over Texas

     

    Classic damage control - this is literally the first interview he's given where he didn't say "we". Too little too late as far as I'm concerned. I don't wish anybody ill will for the most part...but I sure as shit don't have to wish them good will either. This is going to end badly for them. Mercenaries get treated like mercenaries. Good luck with that Bama education if football doesn't work out for you.

    So do we trapdoor other brockermeyer now or what?

    I know some people are being emotionally petty right now, but no. He's a Horn. As long as he's doing the right things as member of the program , you respect that. However, as soon as he's eligible to graduate, he comes off scholarship if he's not contributing even if he has eligibility remaining. Treat him like any other walk-on that's earned a scholarship.

    "Please come be the savior of our program!"

    Aggie has been using that sales pitch since the 1930s, how has that been working out?

    If your recruiting knowledge centers around the belief that anybody is choosing a school because a fucking tackle is going there, you should just pack up and go back to the football board. Tommy Brockmeyer was never going to be the savior of Texas football. It's been clear that he was going to Bama for a while because his daddy wanted him to go there. Blake didn't like the honest assessment of James. It's also why Clemson went from the clear leader to completely out of it. They were going to Bama the day they scheduled 2 OVs to Bama in the summer when games weren't even scheduled. We'll see how it plays out for James in Tuscaloosa.

    I'd imagine most HS football players think they're headed to the NFL, but in their case it's a near certainty that's the case.  Unless either of them is an elite student that NFL degree is likely the complete focus.

    Tommy sure. James is highly unlikely. He's getting the bump due to his offers which are mostly in an effort to get his brother. Sure, it could be a Foreman situation, but those are usually the exception.

    I really don't know anything about their high school education. Are they elite students? Did Stanford recruit them? 

    It was more a comment about Bama being a step down from any reasonable high school education.
