That was a Feb 1st question, not a July 31st question. I don't think anyone is arguing that he won't be a leader in the LB room given full health.

I wonder if the same would've been said heading into the first year of Golden's tenure? Maybe he was revered early on?

Nothing stated outright. It's just that his name had no traction/mentions for most of spring and then by the end of summer, it seems like the podcasts/reporters/etc are all mentioning him and that it'd be so great if we could get some snaps from him this year. That is not nothing. I think...

Along with the questions in my prior post, what is everyone's thoughts on the Jaeger approach to building up arm strength? My son was called on to pitch and really developed an interest in it. I saw Jaeger suggests slowly increasing the distance by doing long toss and "stretching out the arm"...

There is a lot of reason to be excited if the rumblings turn out to be true about Cam Williams. I pulled up the roster to review. Expected starters: Malachi Fields 6'4 - 223 Jaden Greathouse 6'1 - 212 Jordan Faison 5'10 - 183 Challenging for snaps/disruptors: Will Pauling 5'10 - 190 Cam...

It seems like they are hinting at this on the ISD and II podcasts. I keep hearing how big it'd be if Cam Williams took a step and was ready and everyone seems to be hyping up Tae now like he may not give Stroman a chance to take the job. Hard to imagine that Shuler could take a step, Tae...

I'm mostly looking for drills to help reinforce what they should be feeling in the hips, torso, arms/scap and ideally have a coach point out any big energy leaks. Then it's up to him to practice the feeling until they are natural and incorporated in his natural gait/movement patterns...

I am super hyped for him. It's just 2027 and it's so hard for me to think about that class when we're still so far away from signing the current one.

Since I know we have some people steeped in baseball on here, I'd like to know your thoughts on this guy's hitting methods, practice, etc. I know so little, it's useful to hear other people's input. It's hard to know who is teaching sound principles for the different ages & needs.

I think this is a difficult question because it's somewhat self-selecting. If a kid washes out of the sport, the parent thinks, "it wasn't meant to be, I did everything I could to make them a ball player." And if the player keeps going in the sport, most parents will be proud and suggest that...

If we don't see an uptick in efficiency, it's going to be a unfulfilling season. Carr/Minchey must keep the offense on the field and complete the gimmes built in to the offense. I thought both showed the ability to throw players open and put the ball where a playmaker can keep stride...

I think it's safe to say you're well past me in terms of baseball commitment. I refused to get sucked in at 8, 9 and most of 10. I did have to finally pull the trigger because rec ball is simply gutted. Every year a few more of the top players would bolt for their travel team. Most of my...

The speed and depth. He dropped into the hole so fast and just bounced right back out. So many people fight for 1-2 seconds to recruit the muscle for the drive up. He is going to be something special.

Their schedule does look very....manageable. I also have reservations because they lost 2 - top 15 picks in Darth Vader and Warren, their hyper athletic TE. To me, those two were always counted on to make game changing plays. Can they be better in the aggregate than their individual parts...

This is exactly it. The "travel" can be misleading. We're talking about local area tournaments with the farthest travel being 45-60 mins away. The rec league where we're playing is actually working against my son's excitement for the sport. It's so diluted and so many kids are only there...

You guys might be misunderstanding me but I appreciate the input. I told him I'm willing to help him reach his goals but playing a sport year round right now isn't in his best long term interest. I've read enough to understand that LTAD is considered the best approach for long term success and...

Apologies for the thread necromancy.... This baseball world is wild for a parent who didn't grow up playing. We have 3 kids, 10 yo, 8 yo, 6 yo. We've kept them all in rec ball to this point but every year the talent is drained more and more. Players jump ship to their travel ball teams to...

I won't say more excited but equally excited. I don't know baseball at all but given his ranking coming out of high school, I'm assuming he's considered an immediate player and someone who elevates the program? And I won't be surprised if next year we're talking about him turning heads in...

I like Tim. And I like other Tim. And Brice (Bryce?). And Pete. Prister says things that others arent' willing to and I kind of appreciate that 'slightly-more-gruff' approach. I think it fits him and I don't find it sanctimonious or patronizing, even when I don't agree. He can agitate...

Damn. Marcus Freeman keeps elevating this MF'in program. We better get some really good sculpture artists to work on their best concepts and the admin better keep paying him and his staff because they are creating a serious powerhouse with this level of recruiting combined with the coaching and...
