As I said on the college write up thread. Berrios was and absolute beast coming out of HS, winning the NUC Southeastern combine. Goes to Miami, seemingly had all the measurables and is cut by the NFL. Hoping he gets picked up, and gets a second chance!

Right Footballdad. The cost of some camps can get expensive. We couldn't afford to go to many camps. That's why we initially could only go to Wake Forest and Clemson, but by going and standing out, you can build a relationship with the coaches. Before Dabo Swinney was the head coach, he was the...

Leonardfan, I was giving you this information from my prospective as a white family. I don't know how so many black kids got to these camps and what kind of information they have on how to get recruited. The obviously knew something I didn't. I do know there were a lot more black kids at these...

Claimjumper, yes, thank you for the information. I know you're probably trying to be as positive as humanly possible but shouldn't the percentage actually be 4.5% MAJORITY white as there are only 6 teams with more than half starters? Just thought I would make it a little more depressing! More...

Cade Fortin will be transferring after Howell named the starter. Hopefully he'll make the best of his 3 years of eligibility left?

I would just to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to all of these write ups. I wish I had time to help, but I'm generally trying to post over on the baseball thread lately. I hope to be able to post on the NFL thread when the regular season begins. Again thanks. Your work hasn't gone...

Yes, very nice. Thank you Footballdad.....and Trout hits his MLB leading 43rd HR last night! There's also an article on Rafael Devers, the Boston Red Sox third baseman. Saying he's no Mike Trout, but his year 22 season is better than Trout's. Which I disagree with! Devers doesn't have as many...

Leonardfan, I have written several posts over the years about HS/College Football recruiting. It's been awhile since I've commented. It's hard to believe that it's been almost six years since my son played his last HS football game. He was coming off of a junior season in which he rushed for...

Yeah AA, that's what I was kind of thinking and the fact that the safety had a good 5-10 yard head start and still got walked down!

Mike Trout has hit a career high 42nd HR this afternoon in Texas. Looks like he could hit 50 by years end! He has tied Bellinger for the MLB lead and is 7 clear of his nearest competitor in the AL. He needs to steal at least one more base to become the youngest MLB player ever to hit 250 HR's...

I appreciate all the updates guys. I know it's hard to believe but I do keep up with all the other players mentioned above. I usually only update on Trout, beccause I just don't have the time these days to cover all of the great white players, but I suppose that's a good thing. So with that, I...

LA Rams UDFA Alex Bachman Wake Forest, 4.4 forty, had 2 receptions for 24 yards last night. Interestingly another Wake Forest graduate, QB John Wolford had a decent day, 6/8 54 yards. Also, interestingly, former Wake Forest RB, Matt Colburn also with the Rams, 5 carries, 11 yards. Colburn you...

Glad to here all is well DD! Yes, Life gets in the way, and for me my Faith comes first and family and job has to be top priorities.

I agree. Detroit signed CJ Anderson from the LA Rams. Just our luck as Anderson has been a pretty good RB everywhere he's been. Latest report from Lions camp; Anderson is turning heads and getting reps with the first-team offense. I'm sure Anderson is ahead of Zenner on the depth chart, putting...

Today is Mike Trout's 28th birthday. He's arguably the greatest baseball player of all time at his age! Here's what the leaderboard for WAR looks like for players through their age-27 season. 1. Mike Trout: 71.5. He is expected to add around 2.7 to that total by year's end! 2. Ty Cobb...

Right KS5/JT! Trout has dominated the AL all season long. No one is really close in WAR in the AL and he's caught NL Leader Bellinger at 7.1. Trout leads the AL in 7 other offensive categories! However, I still remember 2013 as I'm sure KS5 does as well. When Paul Goldschmidt was cheated out of...

Just wanted to congratulate JT Poston on his first PGA Tour win at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, NC. He is from my area of the state of North Carolina and he and my oldest son were friends in college at Western Carolina. Hopefully it's the first of many. Congratulations JT!!

Mike Trout should become the first player in MLB history with 250 homeruns and 200 steals before his age 28 season! He has 275 homeruns and 197 steals. Hopefully he'll get 3 more, however he hasn't been attempting to steal much lately? Trout is way out in front for his third AL MVP Award, who in...

This should go under the thread of we are living in insanity! Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, who is gay, and claims to be a Christian quoted scripture last night during the debates. When is someone going to quote to him the many verses that condemns homosexuality? "Do not be deceived...

Yes, WAR averages regress toward the end players careers, however, some tend to regress more than others. Just looking at the all time leader, Babe Ruth, he had a remarkable WAR 10.3 at the age of 36 and 8.3 at 37. Most players never see a double digit WAR average in a season at anytime in their...

Although I don't believe in jinxes, I was starting to wonder. He was in a 13 -57 or .228 slump, but hit his league leading 35th HR today! 1-3 with a walk. He continues his assault on the all time WAR list, passing HOF Big Cat Johnny Mize last week! He has also tied Bellinger for the MLB lead in...

Each year it seems since Mike Trout has become known as the greatest baseball player on the planet and maybe the best ever, the media likes to make comparisons of new talent saying are they as good or better than Mike Trout. About 3-4 years ago it started with Jose Altuve. I remember the...

Mike Trout showing again why he's the best player in MLB as he was a one man show in the Angels defeat of the Dodgers last night, 5-4. Trout made an incredible throw in the second inning to nail Max Muncy at the plate and hit his AL leading 33rd HR! Trout's throw was clocked at 98.6 mph. The...

No Mickelson either.... or US Open Champion, Gary Woodland! However, some interesting stories at or near the top! 1. Holmes, -8. Has never won a Major. T3. Westwood, -7. 43 professional wins without a Major. At 46, looking to become the oldest first time major winner! T5. Rose, -6. Englishman...
