I remember watching a video on Barry Sanders as a kid it talked about his ankle flexibility. There may be something to this. However I’m willing to bet it’s just something he came across 20 years ago that he’s just hanging onto , with no data behind it. He just thinks it is insightful.
That's a thing, but something Shannon would 100% go silent on if you asked him the benefit of it or even to identify it. He's trying to make laymans think they're reinventing the wheel in evaluations while everybody else just look at 40 times/track results.
In his redshirt freshman year Vince Young's ankle was bent at a right angle during a game, and he stayed in the game and played the next week. And VY in his redshirt freshman year was one of the most athletic people to ever live. So that's my contribution to this topic.
this "building a monster" thing reminds me of the jason whitlock manifesto that was leaked after his website tanked
Shannon is really pumped about how Crabtree will “tell the life story of athletes in a simple graph” or, as the rest of the world calls it, write a brief biography.
That personal life section is going to be a lot less interesting when you aren’t writing about the most famous recruit in America that comes from the most famous football family in history.
The rest of them will simply list favorites like a 2nd grade activity. Food: steak Class: weightlifting Color: blue Artist: young dolph Sport: football
Great writeup on Arch Manning indicating he's related to Peyton and Eli which are things I did not know
Did you know that his father is principal and senior managing director of investor relations at AJ Capitol Partners?
*Tons of kids using football to get the fuck away from their current life* "Hey let's put in a thing where we talk about what the kid's dad does for work"
So On3’s version of a crystal ball is called RPM (recruiting prediction machine). Fire up those RPMs, boys.
No matter how good the machine is at learning it's still getting fed information from complete morons
Will be interesting to see how long it takes before the machine start inserting anti-semitic tropes into its predictions.
