lol what

Man the myth, the legend of Taylor Martinez grows every year. I've heard Husker fans say he should have been a Heisman candidate every year he played

lol what

T-Magic ran a 4.3 at the NAPL. Clocked at 4.25+ multiple times.

It's the best athletic testing facility in the world. There's one in Abu Dhabi that rivals it... But they don't know shit.

Think Sports Science with a waaaaaaaaaaay bigger budget.

Chargers, Lions, Penguins, Raiders, Cowboys, multiple NBA teams, multiple pro soccer teams have used it.

I've been blocked at 4.25+ plenty of times, as well. Mostly the +.

Yeah he was supposed to drop 50 on Texas in Lincoln in 2010......that 4.25 speed sure didn't help him that day and Texas was gawd awful that year

Still not as bad as Michigan fans gagging on Tate Forcier (September 2009 Heisman) and Shane Morris (Failed Savior) .

Spoiler: The Fickell Effect

Luke Fickell has done it again! That guy has been killing it with local recruits. He’s kicked in the doors that local high schools boarded up when Tuberville came around like a devastating hurricane was coming. Instead of destroying buildings though he was destroying their collegiate careers and dreams of winning.

This is some big time Bearcats football recruiting news though. Have you checked the recruiting sites? Doubt they even have it, 247, Recruits, ESPN, BCJ. All missed out on this one. Some big time information regarding the 2018 recruiting class for the Bearcats.

RECRUITS ARE GOING TO PICK WHOEVER THEIR LITTLE HEART DESIRES REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANY BLOG OR CRYSTAL BALL SAYS.

Novel idea no one seems to have thought of. Instead everyone has resorted to reading crystal ball predictions from guys maybe in the know. They read blog posts and Twitter updates from people maybe in the know. They listen to podcasts and watch interviews with these kids because every 17 or 18 year old is completely and wholeheartedly honest. None of them say things for the attention. Nope.

Blogs don’t post blogs about recruits hoping that recruit sees it and retweets it, gets them some clicks and follows. Nope. These blogs KNOW, they know what these kids are thinking. In reality these kids have no idea what they’re thinking. Everyone is sucking their dick, they have more things bouncing around in their head than a white by named Tanner on an acid trip.

You can read all the rumors. You can listen to all the interviews. You can pay for the most premium of premium content. You still have no idea what these kids are going to do until they actually announce it. Reading about it is cool but at some point it just becomes made up gossip that gives everyone false hope.

“But Matt, we can know when a coach makes some progress with a recruit. That’s good right?” Sure why not. It’s still words though and recruits will generally say anything to make a coach or a fan base happy.

If you made it this far, nothing has changed with Bearcats recruiting. No big names committed or anything like that so don’t furiously search Twitter like a maniac.

LOL I think Martinez was worse. We only had to hear about little Tater Tot for like one season.......Martinez we had to hear about for like 3 years

Interesting development. Rondale Moore almost committed to Texas this weekend. What, did tOSU stop recruiting him?

Urban Meyer compared him to Tim Tebow at one point in his Freshman season

He was an idiot, and a horrible passer, but he was our idiot. He was basically Forrest Gump in the flesh. Fucker could just turn and burn.

Five-star defender set to visit Nebraska

Huge visit.

It's starting to become a numbers crunch in this class. It looks like they might be ok with taking only 2 WRs (Babb and Smith-Cochran) Since they seem to really want a TE and Ruckert (#2 TE) is almost an OSU lock at this point. We don't have a single WR who's a SR right now so they can get away with only 2 this year.

So you're saying they're backing off. That explains the out of the blue visit to campus that nobody knew was happening.

Herman is really hitting up every top player out there......and he's doing it like a ninja, we have a lot of recruits we lead for that nobody knew he was even talking to. Justin Watkins, Cameron Rising, Ron Tatum (pre-flip), Caden Stearns, Rondale Moore........we never know where the next commit is coming from.

This is partly why I think Herman is going to win, and SOON.....he's meticulous, he manages every little detail, he plans for everything, and I mean everything.......

I think the Cameron Brown offer was a good indication of "moving on" from Moore. The talk of mutual interest didn't really last very long so who knows how serious it really was. If we end up taking a 3rd "slot" type WR it will be Brown, but I don't see how they fit him in if everything else goes according to plan.

Herman knows what he wants to do and gets after that. His kind of intensity and work ethic will make it hard for him to ever really fail.

Oklahoma expecting as many as 4 commits this weeks. Riley is doing work.
