“ But there is a moral issue with pushing 1000s of students into more debt in order to pay six figure “salaries” to athletes already getting a free ride.”
Amen. And a high percent of the students are taking out student loans to pay their way which compounds the cost. What a mess.

“ I guess some folks here will need a drink or something as Coach Plough will play two QBs...”
Ha, I’ll need one. Plough told me last year if you are playing two Qbs you don’t have a qb. Did you hear this from someone in athletics?

DrMike is not saying the kid doesn’t deserve a second chance. Nothing is stopping him from getting an education and improving himself. But building a team around felons and kids with disciplinary issues such as Sac is doing in their football program is not what many of us want to support.

Thanks for that.

Shaqir’s stats are not very impressive, 6.7 points per game last year which is his high. 3.4 rebounds per game. He looks to me to be more of a name rather than an impact player.

Well, even of its just a figure head position, it will really help their recruiting.

There are positional rooms for all of the parts. RBs, QBs, etc. i’m not sure how many different rooms are designated for the defense. But its really enlightening to sit in and observe the details that they go over breaking down various scenarios and appropriate responses.

Plough has mentioned that the team is mainly responsible for picking the QB, mainly by who they support as the leader. If its close, I’d like to see Harper get the nod mainly bc of his hard work and dedication to the program.

Congratulations.

I have no idea whether this is more smoke or real.

It takes numbers like that to generate enough cash flow to support the position. I don’t think the principle is drawn down, i think the position is supported off the interest.

Well, all the highlight reels I’ve seen show Pinnick at QB. Random coincidence?

I don’t remember seeing him play. Did he get much playing time?

Great episode. They should send this clip to potential recruits. Bo is an impressive individual.

Chatted with him yesterday. Nice young man. He will do well.

Yes, big time. I watched both of them send the bombs flying. Harper is a lefty, which adds a different dimension. I was super impressed with both.

Harper and Pinnick got most of the reps. Both look tremendous.

Is there any truth to the reports that the hornets have hired a full time in-house parole officer? :)

We actually were hammered with injuries as well. Most teams are in the same situation at that time of the year.
