    That's not Coop, but...

    As a former thrower myself, I think the throws are one of the great inefficiencies in American sports. Explosive, agile behemoths that football has NEVER, to my extensive knowledge, mined for athletes. I think Arizona had a monster of a hammer thrower who was an immediate starter at OT...

    Suffice it to say, I love that Coop is a Texas state champion in discus as a junior. Love it.

    The kid is a good athlete. His junior film looked great. I saw some footage from a game this year. He is playing with a cast on his hand and looked good. I would like BTP to explain his "limited" and "sucks" comments. Where the hell is he getting these hot takes from? DDY?

    Just based on footage I've seen so far, I would take this kid as a HS senior over Wellington or Manu

    I liked Banks film but he’s not an ILB. Even playing the edge will be tough. He’s a really good high school player who is maxing out his ability. He’s far from the rare body or having untapped potential types DDY and you typically like. I wonder why you guys don’t call him a try hard?

    This seems like a good time to remind everyone that no one on this bored has the slightest idea of how to evaluate high school football film

    Like I said, I trust the coaches. They like this kid. Good enough for me. I don't give two shits that his other offers are from midlevel big 12 schools

    Cole didn’t even get a sniff from anyone of those others but us. His 2nd best offer is Baylor or Texas Tech...

    Yeah, you're right he fucking sucks because Texas Tech and Baylor want him to play football for them. Kid should just give up and focus on the discus, maybe he can make the Olympics.
    If Utah thinks a player is a good defender and offers ... good chance he is

    Matt Ruhle is a damn good coach and there’s a reason why Baylor is undefeated ... I trust his evaluations

    Matt Wells is doing some good things in Lubbock on the back of doing some really good things at Utah St ... he’s pretty damn good as well

    Offers from any of these programs I wouldn’t call as representative of sucking
