So you don't want Anoma or Petite-Frere in this class?
No, I'm talking about Catholic High here in Virginia Beach. Also, I'm totally joking.
Edit: We call Bishop Sullivan Catholic just plain Catholic btw.

I remember listening to him on the radio and saying that Tyler Watts was the best HS quarterback he'd seen since Peyton Manning.
I remember a similar interview where he said that TW could skip college and go straight to the NFL. Man, he loved him some TW.

What about the other three we already have? One who was already practicing.

You do know that a kid being a five star has nothing to do with experience right lol. No matter if we get one of them I don't see them playing over Savion, Diggs, and Carter. Should be good for depth maybe.

Regarding Surtain Jr., anyone think the way Saban left the Dolphins will have any affect on his decision? His dad left the Dolphins the year before Saban arrived, but you know he had to have friends still on the team. I'd like to think it wouldn't, but you never know.
BTW, his dad was the truth with the Dolphins.

Im extremely aware of that and thats why I stated S. Smith was our most important get this year. I also stated that since we dont have much experience at corner then its important that we try to get a great HS player if possible

Those diehard Dolphin fans and the Miami media can never get over their hate for Saban. Just have to read columnists from the Herald and radio/TV guys like Dan Le Betard to sense their contempt. That's why our success with great Miami talent like Cooper/Ridley/Jeudy gives me such great pleasure.
But the Shulas have successfully blocked us out St Thomas Aquinas till today.

Alabama started recruiting there again in 2009. In large part due to Bobby Williams.

Correction, Saban traded his dad within a few months of being the HC.

But have we signed anybody from there? Joey Bosa had us as his favorite during his early recruitment but dropped us for no apparent reason. Not to say this is a clinching argument but usually how it has worked for us when recruiting STA high school athletes.

Forgot that was how it went down. Thought he left via free agency. Yeah, we're not getting his son.

For all you sportsmen and shooters out there. This guy pointed out some things about Tua in the championship game:
How vision training won the national championship for Alabama
If you’re a fan of good football, and not a Georgia Bulldog fan, Monday night’s BCS college national championship game between Alabama and Georgia was awesome and the game winning play had a HUGE takeaway lesson for shooters.
The game ended in a tie in regulation and went into overtime.
Georgia scored a field goal.
Alabama got the ball and had 4 downs to score a touchdown to win.
Alabama’s quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, a freshman who hadn’t started a game and got put in in the 2nd half…got sacked for a big loss on the first play.
On the 2nd down, he dropped back to pass, looked to his receiver on the right side of the field to pull the safety that way, and then there was 0.85 seconds of magic that won the game for Alabama.
What happened?
Well, I’m going to show you the play, but I want you to pay particular attention to how quickly Tua turned his head from right to left and released the ball…hitting his receiver on the run 45 yards down field. Watch it in HD if you can.
I couldn’t believe how fast he made the transition, so I went frame by frame through the play.
Here’s what happened…
0.00 seconds Tua is looking to the right to fake the safety
0.01 seconds, Tua starts turning his head to the left
0.03 seconds, Tua fixates his head to the left
0.09 seconds, Tua commits and sets his front foot to throw
0.81 seconds, Tua has cocked his arm back and begins forward motion with the ball
0.85 seconds, Tua releases the ball and throws a PERFECT 45 yard pass between 2 defenders to a sprinting receiver, Devonta Smith for a touchdown and the national championship.
That, my friends, is not normal.
After doing video shooting analyses with hundreds of shooters, it’s pretty normal for it to take half a second to a full second to shift focus from one object to another and get it in clear enough focus to make a precision shot with no stress.
Tua did it in roughly .09 seconds in the final seconds of a championship football game with a 250+ pound rusher closing the distance from only a few feet away after just getting sacked the play before.
Tua was fast, but you know how you’re supposed to get tunnel vision in high stress situations?
Yeah…not so much.
This is going to step on some toes, but that’s normally a sign of someone who’s untrained.
With proper tactical vision training and stress training, it’s relatively straight forward to retain peripheral vision in high stress situations, like Tua demonstrated.
It’s not normal for people to be able to shift focus and make decisions on visual input that quickly…but it’s possible and an incredibly valuable skill to have, not only in sports, but in life or death shooting situations.
So, how did Tua do it?
Well, a few years ago, Coach Saban saw the huge potential in vision training and built a vision training facility for his team. The same team that has earned the BCS championship 4 out of the last 6 years.
Yes…vision training is THAT important.
In this case, Tua’s ability to quickly shift focus, process visual information, and take action won Alabama the National Championship in .85 seconds.
