    Why don’t want the best recruit at ILB in a class to be Texas Tech caliber. That’s not good enough.

    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.
    Who was that? They had De Beer who also threw discus but he was recruited for football and still took awhile to develop. He was also massively huge.

    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

    @chuck does. No idea if he has weighed in here.

    That must have been him, but I could have sworn he was hammer. Wasn't he on a track scholarship and walked on? What has become of him?

    And being massively huge is the point... Shot put, discus, and hammer attract the massively huge, and select for the most agile/athletic.

    Just looked it up, yeah that's who I meant. Apparently he recruited himself, he wanted to play football, and Arizona let him walk on while on a scholarship for discus. I was wrong about immediate starter, but apparently a two year starter and he got some NFL tire kicking and is in the XFL.

    Yeah he was South African I don’t even know if they have football there. Even though he walked on I was in Tucson at the time and they were excited about him. Kinda surprised he didn’t stick in the nfl with his size and athleticism.

    Apparently the most football he played before Arizona was Madden. He started at DL, then TE before settling at OT.

    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
    Utah offered Kyler Manu too
    Kyler Manu is also a great example of why you never offer a player to try to get an in with a future player
    I don’t think they did. In hindsight that sounds good.
