seem to remember him not playing as well for Carolina either.

He should have moved to LB. He was shite in coverage but was a tackling machine

Give me a year to train and I'm taking option B :lol:

If money changed hands yes, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. This is buyout money only and the amount isn’t worth the bad publicity. frick ole miss

It's always frick Ole Miss but if this happened to LSU I'd want them to pursue it.

Even if money didn't change, a contract is signed and the coaches think they have a position group locked in.
They stop recruiting other guys at that position and the player availability pool grows smaller other guys sign elsewhere.

Then several weeks later, when signing day is much closer, these guys decide to break a contract they signed. Leaving the coaches having to scramble to find replacements and probably overpay to get commitments from guys that maybe already committed elsewhere or to entice guys to look at Ole Miss again after they moved on from them.

I'm all for players being paid but if you want to get paid like a professional and sign professional contracts, then you have to deal with the repercussions when you break those contracts.

Expected more from the weight room.

Basic math indicates that over a sample of the past 40 yrs, the median family house price has increased just below a 4% rate annually (this means it's 3 pt. something). This is in keeping with what the dollar purchasing price has averaged in lost buying power, about 4% annually.

Could the same be said for incomes?

The media is a fricking cesspool that distorts almost everything it touches.

Facts but people here are often no better. You mention going to New Orleans and posters act like death or maiming is all but guaranteed.

These conversations always try to focus on the elite of our Tier 1 (like the Lebron Jameses), but we could dominate without touching that tier, or even tier 2, or even probably tier 3.

We have so many athletes of the typical soccer build playing college sports at relatively high levels. We see these kids every year in college football and college basketball. There are so many WRs, CBs, Ss, PGs, SGs, etc. playing for shitty football/basketball teams with no chance of going pro. Hell, even if we just limited the pool to 1AA and D2, we'd have an incredible assortment. Then add in all the amazing high school players who don't even get those shots for being 5-7 - 5-10.

This! How many 4-5* WRs and CBs never see the field due to size or other reasons. Perfect example is Jelani Watkins. 5'10 160lbs is nothing special for football but damn near prototype for soccer. You get those type of kids with athletcism to burn in an early training program and the average caliber of players the US has goes off the charts

Young? Sure. From birth? Nah.

I was responding to your comment about a 14 year old Bo Jackson. That's way too late to start.

Perfect example is Alex Freeman, son of Antonio Freeman (NFL WR). The son obviously received the genetics but he started playing soccer when he was four years old. You need a lot of these physically gifted guys playing from a very young age to play at the highest level.

Yes I’m sure that fricking Bo Jackson could never be near the player that some random Norwegian is if he started playing soccer at 14. He just couldn’t figure out how to deal with Jurgen Bunblefrick who is 5’8 145 pounds.

Skip to 1:50.

It's not about being a better athlete. I truly believe the US has the better athletes overall but you can't pick up a sport like soccer that late
