Clock is right twice a day. Every player on the roster got some type of kool aid hype from Spring to Fall.

He had 1 TD on 9 catches.

Freddy Orange Juice, Yes. Lyle as RB coach in waiting and roster decision makers, Yes.

Lofton played a bunch of snaps on the #1 offense. He was one of our top 3 freshman during the season, just like he was on Greentree.

Listen, I'm wrong a ton in August. The pros miss all the time, and I'm not a pro. These are kids, and it's a projection.

I'm also an optimistic person, so when I'm talking about an entire roster you're going to hear positive stuff. Those are also the comments and observations I relay from coaches, for obvious reasons. They aren't going to trash a kid in the media.

But when I hear "Greentree All-American," I think of a kid who consistently gets hyped on Greentree and then sucks in games. And that type of player is mostly a myth. The consistent practice stars are the guys who play well in games, like Restrepo.

DJ Ivey qualified as a Greentree All-American couple years ago. But even in that example, the talent eventually showed up.

This is nasty work.

I've told you what I've thought about Emory since the beginning. This is me three years ago, before Emory's senior year of high school:



Throughout his entire college career (and dozens of in-person viewings on Greentree), I maintained that he was a backup.

This is what I said after the FSU game, when Emory's stock was as high as it got:



Did I relay that the coaches liked Emory? Yes. Did I report when he practiced well, or when someone told me he did? Sure.

But my view, after watching almost every spring/camp practice, has been consistent: he's a backup at Miami.

If Emory is a "Greentree All-American," the term has no meaning. It's just something people

Of course the term has no meaning and is just something people say

It’s why we can go round and round for years about this in some bizarre semantic word salad jerkoff session

I’m just here to make observations because I’ve been around too long to let stuff like this make me feel some type of way

Some of the practice reports at times in the past have come off like the information relayed has endorsement and buy-in from the tone that some people here run with when they should do as you said. I think the endorsement thing is fine when someone trusted on here sees a practice firsthand or a non-team affiliated knowledgeable person they know sees it and tells them and they convey that. But when it’s purely from staff members, it just needs to be conveyed as such in an objective reporter type way.

I don’t know, it’s hard to express in words what I’m trying to convey here but you know it when you see it.

Everything in your post is exactly right. If I'm being honest, I think letting the boards run wild with some of this nonsense is by design.

The Emory the gawd narrative was born from vague practice report posts.

Even after watching him in the bowl game, that narrative had gotten so out of hand that we had posters/fans accusing Dawson of holding Emory back.

Taking this full circle, when I read that the project-iest of our project linemen "could be" a player TWO seasons from now, I find myself shocked that people are ready to pencil him in.

We don't have to be fed third-hand bull**** just because its the offseason. We already do a nice job of coming up with our own offseason bull**** to debate about.

Emory is Mario Voice of the Hecht Bull**** smoke screen. Key Smiff making a catch out of bound then being proclaimed the next thing is closer to GTAA. Constantly hearing about Chaney is more like GTAA.

We have morphed a bit from the traditional GTAA to hyping up players for propaganda purposes
 
I’m not personally blaming the D Money hype train or any of the press. They pass on what they’re told. With this coaching staff, you need to read between the lines because they blow a ton of smoke. If the practice reports say “Emory Williams is looking sharp. Hitting all his throws and showing great leadership” all while the team is signing not just a starting quarterback but a backup out of the portal as well, it should tell you how they really feel. You have to pay attention to what the staff does and ignore what they say.

Why would you believe this though? Just put on the film. I said he was a jag before the season then they told me he was doing good. If he is being penciled in as a starter we were in trouble in that spot. But they have to talk good about someone who will start what do you expect them to say? He was playing the most so he has to be talked about. Just because they talk about someone it doesn’t mean they will be a good player lol, that’s the readers problem not D$’s

Saying GTAA isn’t real after telling us that Emory is really good in practices is nasty work

Emory always been *** it’s the fans that start building these narratives after one positive story. Emory Williams fixes flat tire on a highway being a Good Samaritan=CIS translation, means he will be the best qb we have had in a decade, he been studying the playbork.
