Re: Questions that might effect the DRAFT
 

[quote=itvnetop;519936]Dude.. thanks for the scoops, brotha! Everybody's been hyped on Rey Rey, but I didn't really believe until this season- he was extremely prone to overshooting his assignments his first few seasons and leaving his zones. He's finally been able to shore that aspect of his game up, so now he's not just a headhunter.

I've actually read some reviews comparing Mays to Roy Williams, so I hope that doesn't come true.[/quote]

Well, regardless, your love affair with Taylor Mays will have to wait at least one more year. Pete Carroll said earlier today that Taylor Mays, Josh Pinkard, and CJ Gable are all returning to school next year. Good news for Trojans fans.

That's awesome news... our defense should still be pretty top notch.

"Love affair?" If I have a love affair with Mays, you have a mancrush on Percy Harvin. I really hope we can't meet you guys next season to settle it on the field. Screw the BCS.

It was a joke dude. And yes, I will openly admit my mancrush on Percy Harvin. That said, I don't think we should use a draft pick on him. Too many other pressing needs.

I would love to play you guys as well. Bring it. It would be a great game. I wonder what Sanchez is gonna do...

I've been hearing he's leaning towards the draft. I think he should stay because we've got all our offensive weapons back- he'd improve his draft stock for sure.

I think Tebow made the right decision to stay... I think the country would love an SC-UF matchup at the end of next year.

They certainly do need a QB... would be ironic that they'd select an SC guy after Leinart shunned the NFL when they had the top pick (and settled for Alex Smith).

Not sure if Sanchez is making the right choice... I thought Leinart should have left a year earlier than he did, but Mark's got a long way to go. His decision-making is still really shaky... NFL secondaries are going to really confuse him if he doesn't learn in a hurry (his dominance in the Rose Bowl was an anomaly). He's got all the physical tools, though. I think Bradford's return pretty much sealed the deal- Sanchez is now the no. 2 QB in the draft.

Re: Questions that might effect the DRAFT
 

[quote=SmootSmack;519923]Because I like you I spoke to one of their teammate's today to get some more scouting:

Maualuga: Should be a top 5 pick, most complete player he's ever played with.

Cushing: Somewhat overlooked playing along side Maualuga, not as football smart as you'd like. Gets by on physical skills too much, may not translate to the NFL right away

Moala: Absolute beast, manhandles opponents, deceptively quick. Smart too. Needs to tighten up on some of the fundamentals though

Matthews: Overachiever, hasn't really found a position he excels at. Jack off all trades, master of none type

Mays: (direct quote) "Eh, he's good I guess. But he's nothing special" Makes too many mistakes, inconsistent, average practice player, and lots of off-field issues (didn't say what)[/quote]

If you hear anything about Kaluka Maiava could you pass it along?

Apparently Pete Carroll agrees with you. I hear he threw a bit of tantrum when he heard Sanchez decided to go. Bottom line is Sanchez graduates this spring, and elected not to return for what would have been his 5th year. Get over it, Pete.

It's fine to disagree with a player's decision, but don't shit on him in public. He basically said the kid has a better chance of failure than success. And he's probably correct, but to say it to the media is just sour grapes.

He even put it on his website. Come on, Pete. Sanchez is a man, he made a decision. Stick by your player, don't throw him under the bus. This is pretty selfish IMO. [url=http://www.petecarroll.com/index.cfm/pk/view/cd/NAA/cdid/412690/pid/400025]Pete Carroll - News[/url]

I know right.
I've coached before (youth basketball) and in my eyes Pete Carroll completely violated the player coach bond. Imo his behavior was reprehensible. Regardless of how you feel about Sanchez decision you don't rain on your on kids parade like that. I hope Carroll's classless antics don't affect Sanchez's draft status. And if that was Pete intention then he is an as...um... shame on him. Sanchez didn't deserve that and I wish him success and good health.

*-I wonder what Mike Gundy would say to Pete Carroll.
