Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

A&M Adds More Depth At Quarterback

3-Star QB recruit Luke Woodley of Highland Park is transferring from Louisville (HT Longhorn11), where he spent part of the Spring semester after graduating early from high school, to Texas A&M. It looks like Woodley went to Louisville to play for Steve Kragthorpe, and decided he didn't like the situation under the new regime.

At 6'2 194 lbs, Woodley would likely have to redshirt to mature physically in the S&C program, so having to sit out a year after transferring won't hurt him. If nothing else, Woodley gives us an extra body at QB, and more depth at the position. With Woodley, we'll have Jameill Showers, Matt Joeckel, and Ryan Tannehill all competing for the starting QB position in Spring 2011, so we'll have the luxury of plenty of depth. We don't have a QB committed in the 2011 class yet, and while I am a believer you take a QB in every recruiting class just for depth, this means we may not need to take one.

Having a youtube video sure is gay though

Damn your witty. Learn that at texas?

It wasn’t meant to be witty, it was more like a patronizing, exasperated, intentionally uncreative retort.

You’re smart, where’d you learn them grammar skills?

Yeah, seriously

When a comment says

Having a youtube video sure is gay though

the only appropriate response (other than silence) is to be just as dumb.

Also, what Displaced Longhorn said about your inability to differentiate between a possessive and a contraction.

What he wrote is colloquial, dumbass.

by longboard8 on Aug 3, 2010 12:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

Where I'm from

the N-word is colloquial. But you don’t see me dropping it on the Tubes, or in conversation, or at all.

Dumbass.

by mnHorn on Aug 3, 2010 1:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

Unless

you were referring to “your” versus “you’re,” in which case it’s grammatical, colloquial.

by mnHorn on Aug 3, 2010 1:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Lots of student athletes promote themselves through youtube.

It’s just one more way to get in the mix of things as far as recruiting and finding a school that’s interested in said players talent.

Wes Welker did damn near the same thing before going to Tech. He made a video and got it to Mike Leach. Leach watched the video and snagged Welker in the process.

Sure is gay that he’s a top receiver in the NFL, you know, due to his video and all…..

it is fairly standard for most kids being recruited by college to have highlights somewhere on youtube

it is more of a surprise when they don’t have any available

I like it when they are on youtube so I don’t have to register somewhere to watch them

by Beergut on Aug 3, 2010 6:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

yup

Highland Park isn’t exactly low profile. But hey it got him to Louisville, so..

by longboard8 on Aug 3, 2010 9:25 AM CDT reply actions  

look out that window.....

Stafford to UGA, and others I can’t remember.

And it’s not like Louisville has had shitty QB’s the last half decade.

They sent a kid to northwestern

my point was star QB’s from Highland Park don’t need a youtube video in general. Glad the guy is coming to A&M.

by longboard8 on Aug 3, 2010 11:52 AM CDT reply actions  

Well maybe he isn't a "star" QB

Regardless, you can’t blame him for trying to get his name out there an increase his national exposure.

by Hobbes881 on Aug 5, 2010 2:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

6 2 is certainly viable though.

by longboard8 on Aug 3, 2010 12:50 PM CDT reply actions  

6'2 is the ideal size Chip Kelly looks for in QBs

just some random trivia

if it is good enough for Kelly, it is good enough for me

his throwing motion actually doesn’t have that much wrong with it, he flicks his wrist, which is what you want

it looks like he had some major OL issues on some of those highlights, though

by Beergut on Aug 3, 2010 6:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

Does not look a legit 6’2 to me, unless all of his OL are 6’4. Has kind of a funky motion and does not appear to put much zip on the ball. Good pickup as a walkon.

by miketag on Aug 3, 2010 3:33 PM CDT reply actions  

I'm with you.

That is a short 6’2. He definitely has some touch though.
