  1. Welcome Jake. Couldn't be happier for the kid. Now, is there any chance Westtown can be shoehorned into the Forum Tipoff Classic or some other Midwest showcase event? Been a long time since I've wanted to see a kid live more than him, but a trip to Pennsylvania ain't in the cards.
  2. Yeah, as much as I disagree with the way targeting is called on bang bang plays, that one's pretty much textbook. Gooch deserved it if they had called it on the field. But if the ref 15' from the play doesn't call it, calling it from the booth is complete crap unless they're prepared to call PI's and other close calls the same way.
  3. If I sound negative, that's not my intent. Kid's played well and deserves all the credit he gets. Has really competed. He's a Freshman. He's gonna make plays and he's gonna miss plays.
  4. You're right. That was the one.
  5. They called one in the Louisville game earlier and the defender had his head up and made contact with his mask. Just a terribly officiated rule.
  6. This is coming back and Gooch is gone. God I hate targeting. And I really hate that they can call it from above.
  7. I was about to opine that Ramsey was coming back to earth. Guess I'll just shut up and enjoy.
  8. You're right on both counts. But that one was on Ramsey. They didn't even bother to disguise where they were coming from, and he didn't even look at his hot.
  9. To quote the great Nick Faldo, "Oh, a little shankadoodle."
  10. Nice tackle by Covington. He's had a good half.
  11. That was a Sunday run after the catch.
  12. Word of advice to the D.C.: McCray is you best pass rusher. Don't drop him into coverage. Too clever by half.
  13. Don't think I've ever seen a fair catch on a punt that was going into the end zone on the fly. Jesus.
  14. Nice discipline on the fake, but did our starting safety really just get run over by the holder?
  15. You know the saying, "Some things are as inevitable as the tide." This recruitment just feels that way to me. Will be surprised if he takes another visit.
  16. Illness in the family. Rumors around Whitfield aren't good.
  17. Yeah, didn't make my thinking very clear there. When I look at the kids that the current staff seems to have prioritized, rather than just offered, vs a lot of the kids that the former staff appeared to be prioritizing early on, and excluding RL and DG, whom everyone is after, there doesn't seem to be have been a ton of overlap. Maybe Phinisee, though it always felt like the previous staff was holding the kid at arm's length. And yet, both staffs appear to be, independently, hot on some relatively unheralded, non-local kid. That just leads me to believe that there is more to this kid than 2:00 clips make apparent. Hence, my desire to see this kid up close. I also think that if Chris is right and he has an unconditional offer, the kid will commit on his official.
  18. I don't find this kid in clips any more exciting then most on here. But what I do find intriguing is that, outside of RL, the only kid in the '18 class that both the old and new staff's seem to be equally high on is Forrester. Are they both wrong on him? Fascinates me. There is no kid i would like to see live more. Gotta be something there.
  19. Shout out to Old Fart on this one. As I recall the man was on Phinisee early in his Freshman year, maybe before that. Nice call, sir.
  20. See, this is what I miss about living in Indy. People who love the game enough to know and care about who the best underclass kids are. Here in beautiful St Louis, only the best connected guys know about anyone not named Jayson Tatum or Brad Beal. Makes me crazy.
  21. I would be concerned if it turns to be anyone but Johnson. That would indicate to me that he isn't having the kind of senior year this team needs to really compete. Don't really see anyone else filling that role.
  22. Could not agree more. Akinjo owned that team and Garland seemed like just a piece. But, man, is he a skilled piece.
  23. Final 8: IU, Seton Hall, Norte Dame, Pitt, Georgia Tech, Xavier, Va Tech, VCU. I know his stat lines and video scream just a guy, but that is an unassailably solid list of offers.
