It's mostly seeing that in his Freshman year, and then never seeing that type of route or throw to him for years.
Or maybe We did, and it was never enough
Well his last game he had 4 catches averaging over 26 yards a carry. Again, why didn't they give him the ball more haha
Speaking of OU coaches.
Edit: Someone finally being real about CFB
Soccer stuff is usually done via club academies if the players are any good. The college scene feeds some of the MLS through the Superdraft. But yeah, if they're a good player, they're probably getting picked up by a foreign team before the age of 18.I don't so much have a problem with how NCAA football players are treated (not paid past scholarship, limits on transferring, can't sell autographs, etc.) as I do with them not having a legitimate professional alternative. They're treated like amateur athletes, but a large number of them aren't amateurs, they're "amateurs," but they don't really have any other options.
Baseball and hockey players can go pro domestically at 18. Basketball players can go pro in foreign leagues at 18 and be back for the NBA a year later. Players of the other sports (Soccer, etc.) can go pro at 18 in foreign leagues since the money isn't really there so much domestically.
Football players are pretty much trapped in the American college scene for three years. Vrabel is right, and Rosen was right. There's not much incentive for the NFL to set up their own minor league when the NCAA will do it for them.

Not familiar with that since I don't watch Cowturd, no idea!Is he the same PAC12 guy that didn't realize he had signed a regional cable deal when Colin Cowherd asked him?
Oh waaaaah.Vrabel what the fuck you doing man....go take people from Michigan or Bama or something.
Oh waaaaah.
Alabama lost half the staff, and most stayed in College Football, meaning direct competition in recruiting (and games potentially) rather than an entirely different level. Urban always finds a way to get ahead by losing. Whether it's heart function, losing his top 2 or 3 Quaterbacks, and now not having to compete against his old assistants. Urban is truly the worst.

It was way back when the PAC12 network got started, everyone was signing deals with ESPN like BIG12/Longhorn/SEC etc and Pac 12 was like, we signed with FSN! Cowherd, was still on ESPN radio at the time, lord knows it was the only sports radio on when I was an on the road sales rep, so I listened. He totally raked the dude because the guy didn't realize that FSN at that time was totally a regional network system a lot like NESN or the Comcast sports networks or even shit like Jeff Pilot. So no one on the east coast was going to see PAC 12 games.
Ah, I see. Yeah, no idea, but given the way he's handled stuff it wouldn't surprise me.It was way back when the PAC12 network got started, everyone was signing deals with ESPN like BIG12/Longhorn/SEC etc and Pac 12 was like, we signed with FSN!

I know they eventually got out of that deal, but shit that whole thing has been poorly managed from the word go.
And to be fair, like we discussed all season, PAC12 teams got jobbed by ESPN/ABC/FOX too. Like it was so dumb to force these west coast teams to play 7:30 local kickoffs and not have any east coast viewers. I'd have watched a lot more PAC football for better or worse if the games were earlier.Ah, I see. Yeah, no idea, but given the way he's handled stuff it wouldn't surprise me.
Yeah, that definitely needs to be addressed. Part of the problem with the P12 Network is that all the best games get claimed by ESPN and Fox, making the Network less appealing to DirecTV etc.And to be fair, like we discussed all season, PAC12 teams got jobbed by ESPN/ABC/FOX too.

That brings us to the Senior Bowl, where Oklahoma State's James Washington looks like the best of a group that isn't wowing scouts. After a strong opening practice Tuesday, Washington was less impressive Wednesday when he put a couple of balls on the ground. Washington averaged 66 catches for 1,339 yards and 11 touchdowns over the last three seasons, crazy production in the Cowboys' wide-open offense.
"I have to expand my route tree because that was the thing most scouts talked about coming into this week — I have a limited route tree," said Washington, the winner of the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver this year. "I just want to prove I can do more."
Reality is the 5-foot-10, 210-pound Washington was asked to run about three, maybe four routes at Oklahoma State. Same thing goes for Jaleel Scott, the 6-foot-5, 216-pounder from New Mexico State who has an 81½-inch wingspan that makes you think of Calvin Johnson. Scott had 76 catches for 1,079 yards and nine touchdowns, including one of the highlight grabs of the year vs. Arizona State, but scouts wonder if he can make the transition after running basically four routes — go, post, fade and dig.
"That's the biggest thing," Scott said. "If you want to last in the NFL, you have to perfect the route tree. I didn't have any option routes in school. It's a huge adjustment. I'm just trying to pick it up.
How many great NFL players came from spread offenses?Ah yes, the annual bitching from NFL scouts about players from spread offenses being ill prepared for NFL schemes. (maybe they should pay for a developmental league)
It's more like a promotion or graduation. I think?
No clue. It's an adjustment and requires some investment by the teams drafting them, but unless they want to set up their own academies, they need to stop bitching and get over it.How many great NFL players came from spread offenses?
Serious question. I'm sure it's quite a lot.
HSers might not be thinking about scheme, but you better bet that their recruiters are pointing out that they put guys in the league, e.g. Clemson as WR U, LSU as DBU.No clue. It's an adjustment and requires some investment by the teams drafting them, but unless they want to set up their own academies, they need to stop bitching and get over it.
Teams that do run "pro" schemes would have some sort of an advantage in recruiting, one would think. But I don't know that highschool kids are looking this far ahead, most of the time.
Of course, just look at the recent run of Michigan QBs
AHA, I've defeated you in Internet:
Enos was only officially announced to Michigan's staff on January 8 and is already heading back to the SEC.
You know I'm not going to let facts get in the way of a good burn!AHA, I've defeated you in Internet:
Can't coach QB's if you've never been there during a season.
They have an insane man who does sleep overs with minors and hangs out in trees leading them.
The new car smell when you thought you bought a fancy German car and realize it was actually a domestic.
Naw man, even a new GMC is okay. This is more like ordering a Merc and getting Peugot.The new car smell when you thought you bought a fancy German car and realize it was actually a domestic.
