Rodney, I coached 13-14 year old baseball because I really enjoyed that age group. It was a county rec department program and that age group was the last age before high school ball, as such all the coached were volunteers. They were old enough to have their basic skill set learned, not too old...
Wasn't Hankins scout team player of the year?
Well now I feel like a moron, I saw Eric's post on the previous play, nothing like being redundant now it there? :rolleyes:
Mack, I commend you. It tough keeping kids interested in the fundamentals when your QBs wanting to throw the ball, WRs wanting to catch the ball, RBs wanting to run the ball. All of which are good things but trying to keep those players focused while you're teaching the defensive players is...
Merry Christmas to all Tech brethren and let's root Tech on for a great New Year with a butt whopping of the Rebels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And a special shout out to our service men and women who are not home with their family while guarding our cherished freedoms!
Rodney it all starts young. Volunteer coaches haven't been taught how to teach proper tackling technique so the younger players don't learn it and by the time they get to high school it's too late. The time constraints at the middle and, especially at the high school level are so against being...
And who remembers salt tablets in lieu of water or other fluids? My sophomore year (high schools was 10-12) we went 3/day beginning at 6:30 a.m., when we finished the 1st session I've never seen a group of guys inhale as much water as we did.
By my junior years things got civilized, gatorade...
I really don't know how much PED use there is at the HS level. My youngest graduated in '12 and he played at 6'5" 275-280lb, kids are just bigger these days.
I am not a fan of the "targeting" rule but I understand why it came into being. There's a huge difference between putting shoulder into the chest of a receiver and helmet to helmet. Proper tackling technique has almost completely disappeared in the game today. Part of that is the lack of proper...
As to Akins and Robbins, both were strongly recruited by a number of quality schools so the talent it there. I can see Robbins at WDE and Akins inside. I love the fact they were both redshirted and had a year in the program as well as the S&C program. Physically we see the results. Will it...
I wouldn't be heartbroken if Sewak left. I feel he has not gotten the O line to it's potential and there are some obvious fundamental errors that should have been corrected by good coaching.
Per Eric's RS update Commissiong is a 300lb, Robbins at 270lb and Akins at 260lb. I would suspect the others are getting bigger/stronger as well :) Maybe Merriwether or Preddy can step up as true freshmen at the WDE position?
The Stanford model? Does that consist of being able to offer 118 degree programs and being in one of the prettiest areas of CA and offering it's SAs a ongoing list of the easiest classes to take and who had absolutely minimal excellence in their football program until they did so? That Stanford...
