2015 Spring Practice Thread

[GoIrish41]

Below are Kelly's words directly from the transcript that ND provided post presser.

Jhonny Williams, he's put on a lot of weight. I think we weighed him in this morning at 256. He's probably a little heavy right now. He's put on a lot of weight. We got to probably sculpt him up a little bit. This is like a first run through for him. We need to see how he handles that weight through the process.


Considering he uses the word weight 3 times when talking about Jhonny, I'll assume he means his weight.

I'd say that is a safe assumption

I think you're not getting what I'm confused over. He was roughly the same weight when he stepped on campus. Was this always an issue that Kelly is now addressing, or was his listed weight drastically wrong? I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, I'm just not getting when this became an issue. Either way, if he has to get down into the 245-250 range to make a bigger impact, so be it.

With koon gone, who's gonna be the first guy on here to gush about "xyz" player after seeing a 15 second practice video?

You're confused a lot and I very rarely understand it. The post I responded to, specifically indicated that you thought he was talking about sculpting his technique, I simply pointed out that was not what they were referring to.

I do better at the criticism of XYZ player after seeing a 15s practice video...well because everyone knows you can suck in 15s, but you can't be great in 15s.

Personally, I'm waiting for Bogs to watch a 15s video and start gushing with praise and glory over the entire team. Including a long drawn out diatribe over what the 15s shows him regarding the long term plans of Kelly and the team. His insight is incredible-but appreciated.

I'll take bogs over-analyzed excitement over the "crazy" koon dogs everyday of the year.

 

[Old Man Mike]

... me too

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I can throw in an analysis or two if we're all taking one for the team. I'll throw in some HAMs and some BAMFs with a few key comparisons to HOFs and ATGs.

 

[NDdomer2]

I once called Carlisle a future heisman candidate and LAinND called me out for it lol. Thanks, in hindsight!

 

[Bluto]

Based on the Kelly presser alone I'm going with 18-0! Prosise wins the Bolotnikov!!

Bolotnikov was a vaunted member of the Bolshoi who defected to the U.S., wasn't he?



I've exceeded my allotted Google Minutes.

Well I'll sure as hell be pulling for Chase this year. Love that attitude.

I am most excited about the o-line and how it shakes out. I know most positions seem locked up, but the potential is scary.
