OL Juan Minaya commits to Miami

[RVACane]

The Greentree All-American thing is mostly a myth.

People always get mad when the season goes sideways, but the good players usually play best in practice.

The three Greentree All-Americans in last year’s class were OJ Frederique, Elija Lofton and Jordan Lyle. They were also our best freshmen during the season.

In terms of the older guys, I talked a lot about Ward, Restrepo, Horton, Arroyo and Martinez and very little about the DBs (aside from Frederique). We saw how that played out.

Sometimes guys like Jaden Harris look good in limited contact and then freeze when you have to tackle in open space to the ground. But for the vast majority, the practices tell you who the players are.

This isn’t revisionist history. Those who listen to the daily podcast know this to be true.

Anyway, it’s still early. We will know more after spring ball.

We’ll know more when we see them in actual games.

It’s more like this…

 

[DMoney]

We’ll know more when we see them in actual games.

We’ll know the most when they’re retired from playing football.

But we’ll still talk about them at various steps of the journey.

But we’ll still talk about them at various steps of the journey.

No doubt, and you’re simply relaying reports, but we’ve seen how the play on the field can ultimately go enough that people should just wait to see how it goes in real games.

[JHallCanes]

It’s really not a huge deal to hear about a kid and go:

“Hey that’s cool. Hope to see it play out well”

And just like move the **** on

 

[RedSquare]

So D Money isn't allowed to hear a positive report on his progress and a kid can't be ready by year 3?

Holy falsehood Batman!

I would not say you are the ones crowning these players. You bring us the news of players that are being spoken of highly. Any player (usually freshman or newer player) that has any positive news creates a swarm of CiS poRsters comparing them to legends saying they will be the next Testaverde, Irvin(g), Gore, Sean Taylor, Sapp, etc only for the buzz to be nothing more than poRsters living off of high school highlight reels thinking that they will do the same or better in college, hyping the player to levels no one can live up to and then ****ting on them (even making them lose confidence and play worse as a result).

Again, you're not to blame for the Greentree All-American thing but to say it's false is WILD.

The hype comes from school sources who I’m sure are praising certain guys for whatever reason and it goes like you said, pointedly where the board runs with it. It’s rough because when these kids don’t dominate or if they are simply average, they’re savaged on here for being busts because of unfair expectations they didn’t even create.

Not really pressed on this one. These are the 3 star flyers you take to round out your class.

Always thought he had to shed some of the bad weight first to get an indication on how he will play.
