Jalen Brown is a beast!!!!

He is.

This thread is complete dribble. A Mod needs to do something about this!

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Now back to Jalen Brown:

He will be special.

Who will be our two starting corners in 2012?

Jalen gonna lock one up?

Cooks talked highly of BJax. I think he may have a spot. The other I think comes down to the winner of Shepard/Wood/Atkinson. Wood may know the defense best, but he's undersized. Cooks also talked highly of Atkinson. Shepard as we all know is EE so if he works hard in the weight room and gets acclimated quickly, he could win out. Jalen will undoubtedly get a chance to compete. Cooks just made him seem like he's further behind than the others in his development.

Actually, Wood and BJax seem to be the starters at this point according to Cooks and the staff. Atkinson seems to be a head in the nickle spot. Leaving Brown and the incoming freshmen to compete for the last spot on the two deep. Cooks and Kelly really like Brown, but they feel that college football and life in general was a tough transition for Jalen. Jalen will be good, but he still needs time to develop.

I assume Wood would take the other spot to start the year. But you can't ignore his lack of size. I think he gets beat out by mid-year. That's not to say he's not good enough or that he won't ever play again. He got some much needed experience this year and it wouldn't surprise me to see various DBs out there getting reps all season next year.

I know where you are coming from...But, Lo Wood his head and shoulders above our current and future corners in his progress. Wood is number 1 right now on the depth charts and I don't seem him being passed up by two players and becoming #3. Plus, the kid is a play maker. He had a pick in the spring game and also had that pick 6 in the Maryland game. I know he got beat a couple of times during the season, but that could have been due to being green.

Michael Floyd thanking Jalen Brown in his MVP speech for making him better says a lot to me. I hope he is a gamer next year.

 

[BeauBenken]

So the coaches all think Jalen is going to be special. Question is...when? Next year? The year after that? The year after that?

Do you think Jalen plays considerably next year?

 

[Big23Head]

I think Brown and Atkinson play considerable next year. Speed and size for Brown.

exactly, sure Mike is putting a word in for a friend and teammate, but if this guy was making the best receiver in the country a better player....wow

 

[IrishLax]

I'm pretty sure Lo Wood is a lock to start the season as a starter.... I think all other spots will be up for grabs and I wouldn't be surprised to see Tee earn an immediate spot in the 3 person rotation. We'll see though.

I think Bennett has a better shot personally. More upside, faster, bigger, harder hitter.

Lo is a better corner NOW (and I really like the kid and will be rooting for him)- will he be good enough to hold off the current freshman and the incoming ones as well? Will Bennett be good enough?

Should be really interesting...

We can if you just report it to us. We can't and don't read every single post on this site - it's impossible and we all have lives. As it is, I just wasted 10 minutes reading and deleting 68 incredibly childish posts, when this could have been nipped in the bud if someone had clicked on the 'report post' button as many member have done in the past. It makes it a lot easier on the mods and keeps the site waaaayyyy cleaner.

The offending parties were dealt with...

I've reported posts before and been told that it's not necessary for me to do so...

I've reported posts before and been told that it's not necessary for me to do so...

That's news to me. We have a forum for the mods for reported posts, plus we receive an email when someone reports a post. Almost every time I receive one of those emails, by the time I check it out, another mod has already taken care of it. There are some really good posters that have allowed us to keep this site clean from porn (not the kind of porn you pervs want to see LOL), trolls, pissing contests, etc because they have reported the posts early.

Now, some posts that are reported we do nothing with because we don't deem them to be offensive or bad for the site. But I know I can speak for jpham and most of the mods when I say we appreciate it when posts are reported. It makes our jobs much easier and it keeps the trolls away...

 

[Grahambo]

After reading reports of him shutting down Mike Floyd in practice, I am real interested to see his progression this upcoming season.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Bennett has that kind of footwork? You're kidding me. Props to him if he does.

I will not predict much this year, but I will say this: The loss of DGb (plus Neal), Decker, and Darby, (A whole stable of Corners, Jackson, Wood, Brown, Atkinson, etc.), with Tee, will leave ND just fine. It was more important not to lose any safeties or running backs . . . You get the point.

 

[NDhoosier]

lol, you posted the same thing in three different threads... I get the point bro and I for one think the secondary will be fine because of the speed we have there, plus Tee. The first few games may be rough, but I think they will be fine, plus they will have plenty of help from the front 7.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

It is impressive when you see all these threads come back at once, though, isn't it?

 

[SoIll]

rumor on campus is that jalen brown is unhappy and quite possibly may be looking to transfer... take it for what its worth..

Are you saying there are actually rumors or are you just reading into his tweets?

 

[jimmymac]

Rumors on campus are that everyones ****ing leaving apparently. I'm tired of this bullshit, if you have legit information post from who you heard and why. Don't post this bullshit "word around campus" crap because frankly it aint true.

hah... Love me some Mike Gundy. Dude is a sound byte waiting to happen.

 

[SoIll]

I heard it in two of my classes this afternoon. I understand I have no big time evidence..that is why I said take it for what it's worth. Also, I have not been on twitter due to the ungodly amount of tweets comin in after the basketball game. I now see jalens tweet. Idk what to think about that. But looks like daniels was messing with him. Don't kill the messenger gentlemen

 

[jimmymac]

Well I hope its not the case. just been frustrating lately with people saying practically everyone's transferring. I apologize haha.

 

[SoIll]

I understand that, I just thought I would share what I had heard. He's a big tall DB. Got alot of potential, especially after the way number 3 spoke so highly of him. I hope he's just going through a faze.

 

[OCIrish]

Well I hope its not the case. just been frustrating lately with people saying practically everyone's transferring. I apologize haha.

Jimmy, I heard you were transferring out as well, any truth to the rumor????

 

[Rhode Irish]

What was the tweet? Unless he took it down I don't see anything noteworthy. The only thing I could see being taken as troubling is this:

"@DaVarisDaniels: @JalenBrown21 A&M?" Lmao chill bro

And even there, he seems to be denying that he's going anywhere. What am I missing?
