Under Armour all star game

Posted by HenryJames on January 2nd, 2010 under Football

Open thread!

Whenever we writers at BC are too lazy to put up any original content (we’re 65% original content at this point), we just throw up an open thread. Let our mouthbreathing intelligent readership add their own thoughts. Some open threads are better than others, e.g. Trips ‘Univsion Lucha Libre’ open threads typically don’t draw that many responses.

So we’ll throw up a thread about today’s high school all star game because 1) there are five Texas commits and two Texas targets and 2) it’s on at 10am.

Talent acquisition is the lifeblood of any football program and pretty much any organization staffed by humans. Most Texas fans will only get to see a few highlite clips of our recruits and then extrapolate their success. Like when CloseToJumping told me with a straight face that ‘Chris Whaley will be better his freshman year than Ricky was as a senior.’

National all star games give you the chance to finally see your recruits go up against players of equal or better talent. That’s a better gauge than watching them play against Claude.

So keep an eye on Taylor Bible, Ashton Dorsey, Aaron Benson, Mike Davis and Adrian White. And also watch Jordan Hicks and Darius White.

    Hopefully Adrian White impresses. Marcus Davis is now gone and I’m a bit worried about our situation at DB once the Browns graduate and AJ potentially leaves for the draft…

    Speaking of CTJ, he also said that Marcus Davis would provide the sort of senior leadership that Roy Miller provided.

    I have very low expectations of Adrian White. Maybe I’m crazy, and somebody has seen something different, but he seems to be an athlete but not a corner. See: Chykie Brown.

    Jordan Hicks is a monster.

    But christ, that D-lineman from Staten Island is unblockable.

  4. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:08 am

    Easley. Kid is awesome.

  5. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:15 am

    Ghost, what does your gut tell you about White’s decision? I’m thinking Texas, but so many rumors abound.

    Oh yeah, my plane leaves Wednesday. Smiley face.

  6. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:15 am

    The knock on Adrian White is that he practices better than he plays.

  7. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:17 am

    Man, I’ll be completely shocked if we land White. Just floored. I think he goes OSU.

  8. Iverson said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:18 am

    Man you talking about practice?

  9. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:26 am

    Fuck, first commit, John Fulton to Bama. This won’t be our only go ’round with those fools.

  10. java said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:27 am

    Jordan Hicks has been in on play after play.

  11. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:30 am

    Yeah, Hicks and Easley are everywhere. Pretty amazing — Florida has 8 of these kids, Bama has 5 -6, we have 5 -7.

  12. java said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:34 am

    Finally got a look at A White and Mike Davis. (An aggie is controlling the Tivo here and making it tough to see our guys.)

  13. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:34 am

    Hicks looks to be can’t miss. He’s smart and the fact that he’s around every play speaks to effort. Put those with great athleticism and somebody (us!) is getting a freaking stud.

    Urban spinning things for recruiting purposes. Basically, saying “It’s all good baby, youknowIain’t goin nowhere’s.”

  14. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:36 am

    Java, Tivo or not, it’s really tough to see his guys.

    Florida did lose Matt Elam. One of their very first recruits.

  15. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:37 am

    Is John Wooden coaching the White team?

  16. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:38 am

    I love to see all the South talent split. D’arick Rogers going to Georgia means we’ll never have to deal with him.

    Why we didn’t recruit Mack Brown is beyond me. Even OU was after him.

  17. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:42 am

    Dominique Easley going to Florida where he will be a pre med major.

  18. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:45 am

    Speaking of John Wooden I was at the bar yesterday and this guy and his daughter were having a beer together. No biggie right? The daughter had to be 70. Dude rolled in with a cane. Sat down and had a darker beer than me (fuck you magnus) then went on about his merry way. Awesome, or allsome.

    Easley to Florida. FLA/BAMA are going to kick the shit out of eachother and the rest of the league for years to come. Provided Urban doesn’t leave to be DC at A&M.

  19. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:45 am

    Is Les Miles coaching the special teams for both sides?

  20. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:46 am

    The least impressive position play so far has been that of the quarterbacks. Florida is going to love Easley.

  21. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:48 am

    Now 9 recruits to Florida in this game? Hicks has to be feeling the pressure. This displeases me greatly. We need that kid, not to win the Big 12, but to win Natty Champs. Our rivals for the near future are obvious. It’s us, and the two SEC heavyweights for the forseeable future.

  22. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:48 am

    Dyer looks like a good back too. Is Seastrunk playing in any of these games? I’d love to see how he looks against some top drawer defensive talent.

  23. dick said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:51 am

    Lache in the Rivals AA game.

  24. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:51 am

    Qb’s always suck in these games. USC is headed for a fall. They didn’t want to offer Scroggins, but he was their best/only choice.

    More Mike Davis please.

  25. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:51 am

    Les Miles is coaching special teams.

  26. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:51 am

    Thanks dick.

  27. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:53 am

    Where is Lache going to end up? He seems to not want competition so that would rule out Auburn and Oregon. I gotta think LSU.

  28. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:54 am

    Cameron Newton committed to Auburn. Their offense might be pretty good next year.

    And OU was recruiting him so ‘Ha!’

  29. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 9:57 am

    Lamarcus Joyner is football smart.

  30. magnusbleuveigner said:

    More Milesian special teams. Ask and you shall recieve HJ.

  31. Toadvine said:

    Yeah, Jimbo Fisher is too. FSU is f#$%ed.

    Last year’s game was kinda well played. This year’s is hardly watchable.

    I hate HS all-star games.

  35. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:04 am

    My reasoning for watching this game is singular. Gotta see where D. White ends up. The fact that our hat is going to be on display with OSU’s, and won’t get picked up, pisses me the fuck off.

    “Magnus, you can’t get them all!”

    Why not?

  36. sizzlechest said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:04 am

    Ha, Sam Wyche. Wonder if his voice still sounds like the overalled coonass from the Waterboy.

  37. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 am

    Could you commit to anything other than a fishing trip to a guy named Jimbo?

  38. HenryJames said:

    Sam Wyche and Super Dave Osborne are different people, right?

    It’s my chicks time of the month so she’s just sitting there, looking all worthless and shit. She gives me some despising look like “all you care about is football” and says “what do you want?”

    “I want you to clot!”

    Under Armour commercial with Leach in it. Already spent the money on it I guess.

  45. Bartoncreek said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:17 am

    To say this is the shittiest game ever played would be an insult to all shitty games ever played. Wooden needs to stick to basketball. I think Isiah Thomas is coaching the special teams.

  46. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 am

    Matt Millen constructed these two teams.

  47. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:24 am

    Helluva halftime show.

  48. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 am

    I’m a football degenerate or I’d never watch this. By the way, I think they said Old Balls was an innovative offensive coach with the Baltimore Colts at one point. Seriously.

  49. bigdukesix said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 am

    Yeah, Jimbo Fisher is too. FSU is f#$%ed.

    You could not be more wrong if you tried.

  50. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:26 am

    He needs to stick to the old: “they call me snowman, ’cause I got that snow, man.” shit.

  51. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 am

    bigduke –

    We’ll see. I do not anticipate a return to prominence for FSU.

  52. Bartoncreek said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:29 am

    Chills of embarrassment for the halftime show. What a clusterfuck this whole thing is. I can’t wait for White to commit so I can stop watching this crap and take a shower. I feel like I am knee deep in street agents just watching this shit.

  53. HenryJames said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:39 am

    Easley is unblockable.

  54. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:41 am

    Yeah, but now they’re sucking him off. Bible was in on that tackle as well.

    D. White on the punt return……..kind of.

  55. Trips Right said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:42 am

    They should rename it the “date rape” game.

  56. magnusbleuveigner said:

    Seeing Joyner driving through Miami reminds me I want a Cuban sandwich. Maybe El Rey….

  57. Trips Right said:

    Davis looks like he has some giddy up.

  58. magnusbleuveigner said:

    Montana to Davis!!! Times two. I’d still do Jennifer.

  59. Toadvine said:

    How did we not get Mack Brown?

  60. java said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:47 am

    Well, sit back and relax, I guess you heard them say D White is announcing commitment in the 4th. Mike Davis made a nice catch.

  61. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:48 am

    Al pastor from El Rey is a good wake up.

  62. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:49 am

    On that last Montana over throw Davis had seperation from Joyner. Joyner ran his mouth a lot but was beat. Good route runner. Davis plays next year. He definitely takes some of the sting off of possibly not landing White.

  63. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:50 am

    Dunkley to Florida was a bad secret. Same school as Nu’Keese Richardson. Armed robbery in his future?

    White runs funny.

  65. Trips Right said:

    White doesn’t run, he hops.

  66. Wyatt said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:55 am

    If there’s no Okie Lite cap sitting in front of White, you’ll know that’s where he is going.

  67. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:55 am

    D. White looks goofy juking, but he gets it done.

  68. sizzlechest said:

    Uh, I think White is coming to Texas.

  69. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:56 am

    Like a mule deer.

    Toney Hurd Jr. to Aggie? I hadn’t seen that he dropped the squabling micks (or whatever NateHuepel calls them).

  70. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:56 am

    You know sizzle, I hope you’re right. It’d be a wonderful surprise. Has Cobbs gotten any touches?

  71. sizzlechest said:

    Cobbs isn’t playing (injury).

  72. whoopspat said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 10:59 am

    Darius White’s body is all over the place when he’s running.

  73. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 11:00 am

    That makes sense. Nothing serious I hope? I’m really curious about his speed and wanted to see him around some other fast guys.

    Freaking easy looks like Donkey Kong Suh Jr.

  74. sizzlechest said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 11:00 am

    BTW, I say White to Texas purely based on the fact that Bible was yelling Texas at him after he scored and White threw up a Hook ‘em.

  75. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 11:00 am

    ESPN is going to turn Easley into Black Jesus before this day is over.

    I meant “Easley” instead of easy.

    Oh shit, broad is in the shower which leaves me with a quandary. As stated above, she’s celebrating the Crimson Tide. Should I leave you guys and the D. White announcement or join her and hammer?

    No, I’ll hold fast. She better put out before Cali or I’m pulling a Hugh Grant.

  93. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 11:15 am

    Rusty Screwdriver or D. White announcement? A closer decision than most would think.

  94. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 11:16 am

    Man, I want White too. Those two would give us the best receiver class we have ever had. Yes, better than Roy, Sloan, and BJ. I said it.

  95. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 11:17 am

    D. White is straight up goofy. He runs like Phoebe on that one Friends episode*. I’m thinking David Aaron.

    *for referencing ‘Friends’ I’ll reluctantly turn in my Viking card for one full day.

  96. Trips Right said:

    There’s enough alcohol in me to keep me from “happening” too fast. Don’t think I’ll have to think about Darius White this time.

    Hilarity just ensued. I hear broad calling me from the shower, so I’m thinking Rusty Screwdriver time (H/T Ghost) and I’m going to miss the announcement. Nope, not at all. She has me throw her fucking dog in there so she can bathe it.

    White looks like he has UT DB hands circa 2008.

    Great get, but I’m actually more excited about Davis. He torched Rivals 2nd ranked corner back Joyner. Just completely outclassed him athletically.

  142. Toadvine said:

  143. Toadvine said:

    I’ll second that Trips. Davis looks great. And he does all the little things you want a receiver to do really well, in terms of high pointing, separating, etc.

    When asked if Darius White was going to make him work that much harder, Davis instinctively replied, “I’m going to work hard regardless.” Love it main.

  146. Toadvine said:

    I made it a point to watch Bible on every snap he played. Bible got doubled EVERY SINGLE TIME, and fought through a lot of those. What was amazing to me is how often he was doubled and every Easley got a one-on-one.

    The one thing I noticed that Bible needs to work on is his first step. His reaction to the snap seemed slow. He is a load though. He was getting a good push against 2 OL nearly every time.

  151. ransomstoddard said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 12:01 pm

    I’m not in the corner and I had a completely different thought about White. But, in the spirit of the renewed optimism of the New Year, I’ll just say ‘woohoo’.

    My thought was Mack is a recruiting machine. You get the number one player in Oklahoma who will likely be a receiver, then you get Davis, then you convince White to come play wr as well. The greatness of Mack is indescribable.

  155. sizzlechest said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 12:14 pm

    I will be shocked – shocked I say – if Cobbs ends up at WR.

  156. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 12:16 pm

    Cobbs won’t be a reciever. He fights the ball like you fight happiness.

  157. Trips Right said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 12:17 pm

    I think Muschamp is going to make Cobbs a big safety or a linebacker.

  158. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 12:22 pm

    I’d love a big safety. But I’m hoping Traylon Shead turns heads next weekend and Whaley becomes a quicker Cody Johnson ahead of next year. Awesome receiver + young QB is 3/4 of a good offense. But without some running game, you worry about Gilbert, at least early.

  159. magnusbleuveigner said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 12:23 pm

    Cobbs will be a safety. He can’t break the starting line up at LB, not with this class. Mack said the athletes, Cobbs and Phillips, can pick what postion they start off at. Fastest route to the field will be at safety. I think Phillips makes more sense at reciever than Cobbs. Cobbs will be a mfer after the int though.

    UCONN reciever just made a ridiculous catch. Looked like that Jerry Rice one hander that he did against the Lambs.

    I don’t mind Cobbs getting a shot at RB. AT ALL.

    And if that doesn’t work out, put him at safety. If he can pick up the reads – and why shouldn’t he, having been a QB and all? – think of the havoc he could wreak. I mean, a S who has receiver-quality ball skills and moves in traffic?

    Then think of him back there with Phillips.

  172. NorthDallasSooner said:

    Zac Robinson is an awful quarterback and I’ve said it all along. And, yes, Newy, Gundy is pathetic.

  173. Toadvine said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 3:01 pm

    NDS — I’m coming around on that. He has been terrible all day. Snead looked great at times last year, but has been terrible for this entire year. This has been an abortion of a football game. Not a defensive battle, despite the scores — just two terrible offenses turning the ball over and committing stupid penalties.

  174. HenryJames said:

    These are two well coached offenses going toe to toe.

    This is the second Cotton Bowl in recent memory that Houston Nutt has won by virtue of a painfully obvious no-call. Of course, we sacked Arky’s QB twice in the end zone that year (but no safety called) and Ole Miss’s 380 lb monster was only in the neutral zone once.

    I have no animosity to OSU because I’m not from Oklahoma and my Longhorn wife is actually from Stillwater (figure that), but that is a program that truly believes it’s on the rise and close to the heels of UT and OU, and that Gundy is the right guy to get them to the top.

    Could they be more wrong on all counts?

  193. bigdukesix said:

    I do not anticipate a return to prominence for FSU.

    I’m bullish on FSU football.

    The resources are there. They have a great location and the name still carries weight in FL.

    As for Fisher, he’s a very good recruiter. He’s also surrounded himself with some great recruiting assistants. Coley and Gran (who they took from Tennessee) are two of the very best south Florida recruiters. FSU has been killing it on the recruiting trail despite working with about half a staff since it was announced that Bowden was stepping down.

    Plus it’s the ACC. That conference is ripe for the taking.

  194. Newy25 said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 3:52 pm

    “Robinson 13-28 128 118 yards and 3 ints 8-9 rushing”

    He ended the game with another pick and depending on how they rule one of the fumbles he could have 6 total turnovers today. That was some serious suck.

  195. CrazyJoeDavola said:

    January 2nd, 2010 at 4:01 pm

    “Could they be more wrong on all counts?”

    It’s like, how much more wrong could they be? And the answer is none. None more wrong.

    Don’t look now, but our hoops team is playing like … well, like OkSU plays football and we’re getting pushed by Texas A&M at home.

    That’s Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, to be precise.

    Regardless, he’s awful. Game has passed him by a lot faster and more thoroughly than it did Bobby Bowden or has Mack Brown, his old punching bags. But I think the main thing is that those two actually, you know, give a shit.

    I’m happy for UConn though. Edsall’s done an incredible job this year.
