recruiting 101

[RedCajun]

All he is saying is that some people continue to mature physically past 18 while considered here. If a guy is already impressive physically but
likely to naturally get stronger, you make him a higher priority am not correct feel free to clarify.

So........from all this, can I assume that Alvarez will be the kickoff specialist on Saturday? Or is all of this just speculation?

All he is saying is that some people continue to mature physically past 18 while others do not. He has
noticed that people of a particular ethnic origin are likely to fall in one of the two groups. Therefore in
recruiting, you can make a guesstimate of whether that young man is likely to grow and gain weight
naturally. The conditioning drills are not considered here. If a guy is already impressive physically but
likely to naturally get stronger, you make him a higher priority on your recruiting board. That is my understanding of what Boomer was trying to say. Boomer, if I am not correct feel free to clarify.

------Yes Yes Yes----and I might add you have nailed it on the head most succinctly-----thanks for the correct interpretation!!!! It is not rocket science ---but it is science!!! Now let us stand and cheer another great kicker for the Cajuns!!!! AAAAHHHHH

Pretty sure everyone gets what he is trying to say, just giving him a hard time.

"guesstimate" =

"It is not rocket science ---but it is science!!!"

Pretty sure that this conflicts with what I was taught at the University of Louisiana. LOL

For the record, I am WAY more confused by Boomer's posts than I ever am at work.

[Crawfish]

The thing that worries me is that the last few years, we have had a real tough time transitioning kickers from high school to D1. I hope to see some touchbacks. At least he has had plenty of practice time.

I, for one, am very glad to hear that! It's good to know that our rockets aren't going up based on your "guesstimates"! LOL
