It is EXTREMELY rare to find a dude that is your kickoff guy, place kicker and punter at the higher levels of college. The skills required are not all apples to oranges. One of the advantages to playing college ball is the amount of reps you get at your position. A guy would have to be better than another dude while getting 1/3 of the reps at the skill. It isn't likely.

It helps, but there is a transition here, too, due to faster expected execution, punting from 15 yards away from the snapper instead of 10-12 yards and the required height that must be achieved in relation to distance. Most teams have the Missouri rule when it comes to kickers- if you want the scholarship, then "show me" for a year that you can do the job. The easiest kicking transition is normally kick offs. There isn't much change from execution in high school to college- it is really about the height to distance ratio. If you can boom it out of the end zone (with significant height) on kick offs in high school, then you likely can in college.

Believe it or not, place kicker is one of the toughest positions to project from high school to college. The difference between kicking off of a two inch block versus the one inch block allowed per NCAA rules is significant. There are many top prospects that don't pan out because of this. This is why teams wait- they want to make sure that the dudes they bring in to kick can actually do the job. Combine that with the necessity for faster timing on place kicking execution in college and you end up with more of a crapshoot than most realize.

The Big North United in Jersey and the Trinity League in California will give the GCL South a run for its money year in and year out. You can check the records for any period of time you'd like and you'll find great football that is comparable if not better. You can also throw in the Indiana Metro Conference and the WCAC in Maryland, DC and Virginia as on par.

The way both have started, you may get your wish in the playoffs.

I hate posing this as an either/or discussion. Some guys are born with incredible tangible assets for high level collegiate athletics. Some guys are not born with the ideal size or speed and are still able to make it at the highest levels, but even those individuals have incredible athletic gifts. Some guys have all the tangible assets and still don't make it for one reason or another. Every story is different.

The model of paying a football coach used in the article is not unusual for Texas. The best in the state make 6 figure salaries and many of them do so without academic or core class teaching duties.

Less AAU and more traveling prep school model- thinking of Findley Prep and Oak Hill Academy more than Each 1 Teach 1. There is schooling and boarding involved at IMG Academy.

We'll likely never get 100% confirmation on this if Apple has a contract with Corning stating that neither company can confirm a Gorilla Glass inclusion. I still like my screen protector addition.

This is what I have on my iPhone 6+. [video=youtube_share;A5KKmA206qc]

List of devices with Gorilla Glass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The iPhone is not included on this list.

I have Gorrilla Glass on my 6+. As long as it is applied correctly so tha it doesn't come up prematurely, it is awesome! I have dropped my phone and had my keys in my pocket ith the phone. I have not had any scratches or cracks.

The Bob Beatty to Bentonville discussion has me thinking that McKee could not have been a fan of this.

I know- that was a point in my post.

I just had a thought...if Beatty gets the gig in Arkansas, would Coverdale go with him? I mean, I imagine that Andrew Coverdale could have been a head coach if he wanted to be. Maybe he doesn't want to do that any more. The money for Beatty would likely be six figures in Arkansas, he may be able to secure a teaching gig for several coaches and some decent money for them, as well. Bob Sphire was able to bring several of his assistants when he went to Georgia. I would bet the situation would be similar in Arkansas.

The position wouldn't be given to Coverdale?

Congrats to Coach Eviston! Football is better in the state when Cov Cath is good and I hope he can return the program to their winning ways.

Wow! Congrats! What do her collegiate prospects look like?

Beat Highlands- it is really the only game on your schedule that matters.

I don't think that the addition of a shot clock precludes teams from using patience and commanding the pace of a game. If basketball programs in New York and California have a system, it is likely one that Kentucky can replicate. I do think that the cost factor needs to be researched and thoroughly understood to minimize the finacial impact on schools.

I don't necessarily disagree, but think of it as a logical progression rather than a reactive solution.

I think I would be for it. I liken this to a play clock in high school football. I think this can be implemented fairly seamlessly. 35 second clock?

The argument for one... High School Basketball Team Scores One Basket The Entire Game, Wins 2-0

What were you doing on the court in 8th grade? Scottie Lewis, an 8th grader from New Jersey, does this... [video=youtube_share;ZyfSUzwL8r8]http://youtu.be/ZyfSUzwL8r8

I just signed up for an account. I was wondering how many others have an account or participate in a similar program. Curious as to how folks like the concept, as well.
