Lots of material to cover in ten minute, so let’s get right to it…
- Colorado shocked the world. Apparently I am not part of that world. I knew going into it that they had a solid chance to win and even dominate. To me the team made too many mistakes on both sides of the ball. This should’ve been 70 – 31 cold. It wasn’t. Coach Prime knows how much meat was left on the bone out there. Now we all know what this young and talented squad is capable of. I’ll miss seeing this weekend’s game but I know it will go hard. Nebraska couldn’t score on Minn (10-13), so I don’t see them racking up points against these Buffs.
- On the High School front, my mid kid keeps racking up tape, but the offers haven’t been coming. I don’t get it. The kid turned 16 a few months ago, is a Senior starting corner with a 3.92 GPA and a top 5 hurdler in the state. 18 yr old him will be one of the coldest players in the nation. All you need to do, coaches, is redshirt him freshman year and you have a DOG. Put the D on his jersey like Travis Hunter. He recorded his first pick and fumble recovery of the season vs. the #14 team in the state. He played lock down coverage against the #25 team in the state surrendering one catch. Call this boy!
- The freshman is, well, a freshman. Finally had a chance to study the tape and the conditioning woes show. He is starting in all three phases of the game like a young D. Sanders. His corner play is immaculate. He leads the team in tackles, with teams just deciding not even to go to his side of the field. They attack away… after two games. Tonight is game three. Let’s see him finally breakout and be able to perform at a high level for four quarters. He’s going to be on Var by the end of the season, but I am done rushing it. Trust the process.
- NFL. Man the fantasy drafts went badly. I will be reaching for players following week 1. I have a pretty solid track record identifying breakout stars, but I always see them the year before they are ready. With that in mind, here’s hoping Pickens is ready now.
