Recruiting 2014

[Jacob]

Throwing speed has a lot more to do with anatomy and mechanics than muscular strength. I haven't looked into this issue specifically, but I'd assume that Taysom doesn't have near the muscle mass required to significantly inhibit his ability to stretch the tendons and ligaments in his shoulder and elbow.

You must not have heard of Tim Tebow either

[Jacob]

Here is what Brian Billick had to say about Tebow when he was coming out of college:



Doing some quick reading on conditioning programs that Brees and Brady use, their focus is all on core strength, balance, and what Brees called "joint integrity". The best throwing quarterbacks certainly don't look like Hill at all. But Hill doesn't play QB like those guys either. Who knows if his upper body is getting big enough to interfere with the "fluidity" he needs to be a consistent thrower. He probably looks similar to what Donovan McNabb and Steve McNair did in the NFL, two guys who were good passers that also were built well enough to withstand the hits that came from scrambling around more than pocket passers.

I don't think that anybody is arguing that type of strength training is required for strong arm in the n_f_l. Or even that it helps. clearly, the manning brothers have shown us that strength is not necessary, nor is great athleticism.

You sure you're against gay marriage??

I'm for it as much as I'm against it.

I'd heard he was pissed that Kiffin didn't recruit him, so in retrospect that would explain.

Or else I've actually seen him throw. His mechanics are terrible.

Yes, we agree

Dilosa is out... "@AlmightyKeyon: Proud to say that I am officially Committed to play for Mizzou!!!! 🐯😎 #MIZ"

[LiveCoug]

Can't say I blame him.

[MarkGrace]

They were throwing chicks at him everywhere. That's not going to happen on a recruiting trip to Provo!

[USUC]

Topper asked about a QB. BYU has offered Ronald Monroe a duel threat QB from Texas. He is tripping on the 31st as well. Currently he is committed to Mike Leach at Washington State.

Was just offered by Vanderbilt. Another kid with an SEC offer that they'll probably go with.

Cedric Dale de-commits from BYU and commits to Purdue.

Cedric Dale de-commits from BYU and commits to Purdue.

donute has apparently hacked Cedric dales twitter account.

[MarkGrace]

I hate when this thread gets bumped.

[LiveCoug]

Bummer. Hopefully we get a positive surprise here. We tend to be on the negative ends of de-commits.

[The_Douger]

Honestly, Purdue?

What a bad choice. Of course, what does that say about us? They're a bad program that's never on TV and is one of the worst two or three teams in that conference and we can't convince him to stay with us.
