there are alot of things that can go wrong with it in clutch situations.

The pro minor leagues will bring him in to face better lefties than he's been seeing, even if pinch hitting. Good lefties won't have near as much trouble against him.

I don't think he has 3 years left of pitching in his arm. Whoever Lsu has teaching him to throw like that is probabaly ruining his career

I was wrong.

The thing about Coleman is that he sells out his arm health to end up going broke.

Every pro pitcher that throws across his body fails by either losing their command or blowing out their arm or in most cases both.
I thought Ark had him but I was wrong. The low minors will dispose of him.

let's do this shite hogs. get back to Lsu, b/c we all know Kuechle can beat them in game 1.

the SEC is the next step to the NFL. The SEC has the most players drafted every year. The SEC is the quadrant of the country that produces the most talent.

It's hard to answer your last question about Purdue based on location and year.

My point about Purdue is that if you average their 20 year homegrown NFL talent, guys that grow up wanting to play for Purdue, like Dmac, or Jamaal Anderson, I think if they played in a bowl game or nonconference game each year alternating home sites since 1970 and both teams had a great coach , Purdue would win about 65% .

If you look at the statistics and budget of recruiting base, what I am saying is true.

I never figured Purdue had more potential than Arkansas. But I have done alot of research and it appears they do. At least within the last 4 to 6 years they have put more guys in the pros.

that's why the big10 and SEc don't play much.

The thing about the 99 team was most of the good recruiting ended up being sanctioned.

I was doing some research about that team and there were at least 4 DT's on that team that were drafted into the NFL which is very impressive b/c DT's is one posistion that can pretty much win a game easier and dumber than any other posistion.

Can someone familiar with that situation let me know exactly how and why they were sanctioned under the Jackel?

I'm not wildrebeltime

The NFL is the standard of football at the highest level. If a team who pays alot of money to scouts and players feels good enough to draft a guy, when they'll turn around a couple days later and sign 10 more as free agents, then guys getting drafted and how that related to a recruting class or their star rating 4 or 5 years prior is interesting to evaluate.

If you really get serious about evaluating some draft stats, I'll tell you something very interesting about Arkansas. Nutt's detractors would tell you he's a poor recruiter who can only win on luck, or the prior coaches recruits b/c that is what he's done at 2 sec programs now. They think Danny Ford was a great recruiter b/c Nutt tied for the west in 98 with Ford's players. However, if you take away the first class that basically each coach had to rebuild or contain once he was hired, and look at their first full class, year 2, Nutt actually put more of his recruits in the draft than Ford. twice, Nutt had 6 of his recruits drafted the same year. The most Ford ever had was 5 but typically 1 or 2. Ford routinely won 10+ games at Clemson and is their all time winningest coach so obviously by Ark standards he is an agreed upon quality recruiter.

The real kicker is, players brought in in the Ford era were being overpaid by a Dallas truck operator. Ford was cheating, Nutt paid the price for Ford's cheating with sanctions and a 3 year cloud, AND STILL OUT RECRUITED HIM.

I can only imagine what a big time recruiter like Nutt could do in a saturated area like north central MS.

it's still pretty early though Rome. Ark should get in to that bullpen pretty soon if Forest can keep Ark in the game they might win it.

woopiginaustin, do you understand what I'm saying?

It looks to me like there are atleast 30 programs with a better inherited recruiting base most years.
