Small world, obviously being from Charlotte been to Rock Thrill many many times. Then you know the UNC love is intense, hence I decided to root for Duke, haha. BB will do very little recruiting, IMO. They have the infrastructure to take care of that. Him being the coach will help them close on more players than they ever have, IMO and obviously if he needs to get involved on a significant recruit, he will. It's also a pretty difficult school to get into and it has an extensive alumni with deep pockets. They will be able to recruit financially with any college in the country. Now will BB, I believe they'll be relevant.

I've lived in Charlotte for 29 years, so I have some perspective. UNC is by far the most popular college program among people that live here and most definitely, people originally from here. UNC actually recruits well and sends people to the NFL at a fairly high rate, commensurate with their lack of National success. North Carolina produces massive amounts of high end college players. Also, there's a few towns/cities in South Carolina that also produce quality college players and they're more connected to NC, than SC, in terms of where their family works and are from. Charlotte is about 15 minutes from the SC border, so tens of thousands of people live/move there for the low taxes, etc. These players have largely gone elsewhere because there hasn't been a nationally successful NC program. UNC has a real opportunity to recruit, because the players are right here. Historically, some great ones have already chosen to go there. Now with BB, it should be easy.

I think you make excellent points about Hawes and he can play in the NFL as a blocking TE. I was originally doubtful he can make the 53, but I hadn't considered the possibility of moving on from Gilliam and/or Davidson. With the new kickoff rules, he may be able to play special teams with less distance to run and just using his explosion. He's an interesting prospect but he's definitely going to need to overcome some shortcomings. In the NFL, these men are strong and athletic.

I just don't think you're being fair. Only 3 of the 4 quadrants counted because he didn't qualify. 50% of the 4th quadrant was scored and it was going to seriously reduce his RAS. I don't understand what your issue is with my evaluation of the data and him. I said his explosion is outstanding and he has decent size. The other two factors are poor. You made up your own trifecta, not RAS. Big, strong and explosive are not 3 (tri) of the 4 quadrants. You said his high RAS is an indicator he's athletic in comparison to his peers. It's not,.there's not a problem with my understanding of the data, in which you believe in. You tell me why the data says he's on the top end of athleticism and use all 4 quadrants.

How would low catch percentage tell you he wasn't going deep, because of the yards and ypc? I'm sure there's advanced stata but I don't think that's the indicator. Without looking anything up, couldn't low catch rate and low YPC, also be aligned with bad QB play?

Oh good grief, you too? Nevermind

Why only Beane though? If this was such a blunder, then why couldn't Seattle get more than pic 52 and then they had to weaken that? It's simple, the huge money, obviously. I know you understand this. To act like that's not even a discussion, is childish. You wish we would have, fine. To the bolded, then why would she mention Hoecht and a package, couldn't fetch a second round pick? It's what she does and it weakens her argument.

It would be at least a $60 million dead cap hit. It wouldn't make any sense.

We could get a second for Benford. Do you need a bathroom break?

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is understanding you don't put it in a fruit salad. The Steelers couldn't package Metcalf for a second either.

Thats irrelevant, but I'll answer the question. He's a little better, not far better, but math isn't your thing. Blowhards downfall is, they can't comprehend consequences.

Yet you hate our GM over not having Darnell Mooney, hahaha.

Definitely not both or no Bosa or Palmer. He can take his choice. Then no TJ Sanders also. It just isn't smart. Hence it married well with that poster.

His explosion grades are outstanding. If I'm reading it correctly, that's the broad and vertical jump. Clearly this kids got crazy strong legs. His size didn't hurt him and kept him in the conversation to post a good RAS. His speed scores are poor and possibly very poor, if I had a bit more time to research. Here's the real issue. He didn't qualify for agility. It appears he didn't qualify because he didn't perform or for whatever reason didn't record his 3 cone score. He did record a poor shuttle, which is part of the agility, so it was not headed in a good direction for posting a good agility score. Because he didn't qualify, it didn't factor in or in other words, didn't hurt him. It was about to with that lower end shuttle. So his explosion really became the reason and the only reason he scored high. He's strong - but not athletic.

I asked to expose you and it worked perfectly. Trading for Metcalf would have been idiotic and it was wanted by an .... Get it now? Of course you don't, it's why the trading for Metcalf analogy fits perfectly.
