Just a few odds and ends form another combine. Grades: Rich Eisen-(D)--His usual smirking caste self. Keep in mind they only recently tied his 40 yard dash run to a charity. For years it was a "laugh at the white guy stunt." Daniel Jeremiah- (B)--Former scout filling in for Mayock for the...

Hayward finished up that Warriors game with a team high 30 points in a big win. Last night he followed it up with a game winning fade away shot as the Celtics beat the Kings on the road. Without Irving. They have won I believe 8 srtaight games when Irving doesn't play. Makes you think.

Funny the nuggets you can uncover on the internet. First off unlike many here I have never disliked Mel Kiper. I like him more now than in his early years and I don't agree with everything he says but I can tolerate him. Last year he was one of the few draft gurus who came out praising Josh...

See below an article that discusses Andy Isabella being a white speedster and an outlier. Is it a stretch to say he is likely the favorite draft prospect this year here at CF? I can't wait to see which team picks him. Hell I probably share DNA with him for all I know. I can hear my grandmother...

As I mentioned before there is a blurring of the lines now between bulked up safeties and real linebackers hence we see a lot of faster than usual linebacker 40 yard dash times with a lot of undersized black players leading the charge. So if we are talking about real linebackers here are some...

Two defensive MAC players stood out. As mentioned above quicksilver DE Maxx Crosby blew up the tests here and helped his stock. I was expecting Sutton Smith to be on the smallish size but damn this guy is built like a Mack truck. He looks like he can run through a wall. Looks like a situational...

A quick WR wrap up. Isabella--by the way that is the most Italian name in history---has been covered. I agree with Don that Davis Sills really impressed here. As an ex QB I worried about his explosion to go along with his still learning on the job traits but at 6'3" 212 he ran a solid 4.57 and...

As I mentioned previously a lot of the fast black runners for their position are undersized or as in the case of Noah Fant not a true TE. You see this with the DL and with the LBs. For example even though all of the below played LB in college they are built like bulked up safeties and lo and...

Who helped themselves enough to catapult them into the first round---at least in my humble opinion? I am not including the OL and QBs who are projected to go in the first round. So below are first round talents who showcased well at the combine too. Edge Chase Winovich who actually looks and...

They know to push down an afro etc. when measuring height. That is certain. Put it in the books. Perhaps except for-------fill in the blank. The two craziest strangest things I have seen at this combine is the "listed" height of Kyler Murray because like many here and even in the media he just...

I agree with CS that is some sharp on point analysis from JC up above concerning McClung. And a reminder to outside visitors that this site isn't just a bunch of white suck ups who don't look at the hard reality of things. That said McClung is my favorite freshman. He really is exciting and we...

A wrap for now from me but some of this stuff is ridiculous. It appears they try very hard to carefully control the 40 yard dash numbers from the fastest sets (WRs and DBs) by making damn sure there are plenty of black candidates and leaving out too many deserving white speedsters By the way I...

Now I also wonder whether the fix is in and they made damn sure Andy ( a white man) didn't solely have the fastest (4.28?) 40 at the combine. A Georgia player ran a 4.33. Mecole Hardman. But that is why he was invited. Another yearly combine trick. Invite black players who have very little...

Keep in mind the one constant every combine is to purposely have small for the position black players who "light" up the 40 yard dash. Cominsky above is 280 plus pounds. Zach Allen is as big as a house. Yet sprinkled in with DLs who are the proper size are smallish black players who are lighter...

I will throw my two cents in. Imagine watching it live like me and seeing Andy Isabella run a 4.56 then a 4.46. I threw my notepad across the room and said to myself there is no hope. Then much later in the night I heard a reference that Andy tied for the fastest 40 time with a 4.31. Great news...

Nico Mannion led his HS team to their second consecutive state title. He dominated the tournament. He is the real thing and with Arizona having an off year look for this hometown hero to come to the rescue next season. Not only is he a superb all around talent he knows how to win. Plus he is...

Misprint I guess not. Retired Dallas TE and ESPN MNF color man Jason Witten has signed a one year contract to return to his former team. This off season may go down as the craziest ever.

They are currently in the measurements stage at the combine and today it is the Saturday workout crowd of QBs, WRs and TEs. And like clockwork a lot of the black wide receivers have expansive wingspans as opposed to the shorter arms and wingspans of white WRs. Neither Renfrow, Isabella or even...

You jolted my memory Bucky. Helton was a hell of a QB and a true baseball star. He probably could have flipped the dice on which sport to choose. Mauer is probably a HOF catcher. Before there was Kyler Murray there was QB Keith Smith of Arizona. He actually started off his career in the minors...

Nice list and I am familiar with all of the above dual sport athletes except Trey Quinn. I don't recall him being a baseball prospect too. Trout of course was never really a football player or prospect and we can safely say he picked the correct sport. Ha. Since I love baseball I don't have a...

Last night's games offered some intrigue although Wisconsin played stupidly at the end of the IU game and ended up losing in I think was double overtime. Also caught a glimpse of Utah State star Sam Merrill but his outside shot was not falling. His team won though. I notice no one appears to...

The media/scouts love affair with black players with impressive athletic credentials verges or perhaps crosses over into homo erotic love. Why else would teams pick up players with tons of baggage and character issues? A perfect example is Cowboys DE Randy Gregory. Ever since his Nebraska days...

Starting late this week with the combine through early April with the pro days the NFL will be quite active. The only "quiet" time will be the few weeks between early April and the draft in late April although even then I think there is college spring football. After the draft people start to...

The combine workouts start Friday. The combine is one of the caste central outlets in sports. It frames the debate each season by illustrating the "speed" superiority of black players, especially the DB/WR/RB nexus. You will often hear the term fastest players in the NFL and the basis they use...

Sure Ryan Nall along with WR Tanner Gentry are on their practice squad and it would seem logical both would be promoted to the team this coming season. But logic played no role last season when both had great preseasons which got them what? A demotion to the practice squad one of those thanks...
