Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (The latest on Micah Hudson isn't great...)

Yes.

Not recruits plural. This is simply specific to this recruitment.
Ok. Well that’s At Least good to hear. Hopefully our wr coach with zero college experience doesn’t set us back with wr recruiting.

When it was 3rd and 7 between the 20s Bum knew he could call on #34 and there was a better than 50% chance he'd make the first down.

Good list on the RBs. One could argue the ORDER, but that is an awful strong list. Not saying who I'd take out of that top 10, but if you didn't see Gayle Sayers play, then that's the only reason he wouldn't be there for you.

This article was the tits.

Sayers almost made the list. He received strong consideration, along with Marcus Allen and Thurman Thomas.

Could a good comparison for Pierce be pre-title Mack (hell, both coached at Tulane)? Lots of consistent winning the first 6-7 years, but couldn’t fully get over the hump until Mack broke through in years 7 and 8.
It's not terrible. He's more accomplished than Mack was, though, I'd say.

Yeah, I kind of sensed that was what you were getting at, and that's the most ominous part of it.
I don't think it's something that Texas can't come back from, but there is a fracture of sorts that exists.

It's all relative. He'll come back for an official. Texas isn't out of the running, but in a world of narrow margins, this specifics of this situation were ominous for finishing first.

He made those teams great as much as any player on that team,
'
See the 1993 season when the team went 0-2 without him to start the season.

Sure I know that’s the example given

But compare his teammates and roster compared to Barry sanders teams - or oj simpsons - I mean we aren’t even talking the same stratosphere- football is so much more a team sport than basketball etc - Derek jeter isn’t really some all time great compared to mike trout - in football and baseball titles are much overrated in determining individual players all time placement - it just is what it is

Gale sayers is a big omission imo also

Smith makes my top ten but more in the 7-9 range or so
 
Nikola Jokic is some kind of player and he's on the cusp of adding the word "champion" next to his name. No one has come out and said it, but we're looking at an all-time top-20 kind of player (and climbing).

... I'm not really into slamming LeBron James for his failures as a 38-year-old player any more than I was a fan of doing it to Michael Jordan when he was a shell of himself and mostly floundering with the Washington Wizards. Find something else to do. Their legacies are fully secure.

... The new White Men Can't Jump movie needs to be avoided at all costs. Trust me.

Agreed on all 3. Jokic only needs a title/finals MVP to secure his eventual place as a top 20 all time player.

LeBron has played 65,000 career minutes in the NBA in the regular season/playoffs combined, which is effectively tied with Kareem for the most all-time, and he is STILL averaging 24/10/6 in the playoffs. By comparison, Kareem averaged 11 points and 4 rebounds per game in his final playoffs. What do people realistically expect from LeBron? LeBron is a better player in his 20th season than Jordan was in his 15th season, and frankly it isn't even close.

I can't believe Ron Shelton attached his name to the new White Men Can't Jump movie. Unlike LeBron, THAT is how you destroy your legacy.

So Hudson has a problem with the staff? Are they not making him feel special?

Not in the traditional sense, no, I don't think he has a problem with them or anyone specific. There is just a slight disconnect and it stands out when compared to his relationship with Tech.
 
Put Barry on those Cowboy teams and we are talking about him being the greatest football player of all time. This is akin to an MJ/Lebron argument for me. Emmitt was the best player on his team maybe one or two years. Barry was the best player every year by a wide margin. There are probably 20 cowboys I take over the next best Lion.
 
Btw the Hudson news totally sucks

No clue what the deal is when reading your comments but it sucks bigtime

Huge issue the staff has in taking too much filler in high school recruits when they can’t land elite guys

Also finishing in the 10-14 range would absolutely suck / hopefully they can do a lot better

lulz. ok.

Derek Jeter would be a good comparison... if he was also the all-time hit or home run king at the same time.

Take another sing.

We're going to pretend Ron Shelton never did it. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I wasn’t saying smith was jeter - I was making a point about championships and how people rank players

Jeter is considered a top all time player and it isn’t warranted

I think smith is a top 10 all time rb - razor thin margins we are talking about it isn’t an insult
 
“In almost every sport at Texas, a Brian Kelly-level coach would mostly be embraced, but when you've had a Nick (Augie) or a Kirby (Gus) for nearly 50 consecutive seasons, quite a shadow forms.”
Nice write up on many points. But don’t forget Bibb Falk’s record at Texas. If I remember right, as coach at UT, his teams won the conference 20 out of 25 years. His first name is also rare.

They get eliminated in the 1992 NFC title game and never win a Super Bowl.

Again, in the biggest gam of his life, Barry rushed for 44 yards.

In a game that was 17-10 at halftime. It wasn't in him to do more.

who are you ranking above him?

Ok, basically a century!

There are more things to factor in that judgement than one single thing

He avg 4 yards per carry in that game

Judge the coach that only handed - your top 5 rb the ball 11 times in a huge game

It’s more complex than one single thing
 
In 6 career playoff games, Barry Sanders cracked 70 or more yards one time.

Emmitt in 1992 alone.

114 yards vs. Philly
114 yards rushing and 59 yards receiving AT San Francisco
108 yards vs. Buffalo.

Save me the Barry Sanders non-sense. He was electric, but doesn't deserve to have his name mentioned in the same breath as Emmitt Smith.
 
who are you ranking above him?

Barry sanders
Earl Campbell
Jim brown
Gale sayers
Oj Simpson

That’s probably it - razor thin margins

It’s like people being angry at your for ranking ewers a five star and not the number one prospect

I’ve got him at like the 6 to 7th best rb of all time out of tons and tons of great players at what was the premier position for a long time

On a shitty team against superior teams

That his coach didn’t use him fully isn’t totally on him

You judge sarkesian partially responsible for how our players perform yes?
