It's more of a subconscious thing. You see the ad constantly and eventually when faced with a decision about what to pick in that category of product there are increased odds you go with the one you think of the most. Like how if you get sideswiped by a semi on 65 North, Shunnarah is hoping his shite eating grin is the last thing you see before losing consciousness and going into the ambulance.

He should have known that was a mistake when he was done writing a glowing 750 word write up before Hackenburg had completed his throwing motion.

I don't think it would apply to them. If I understand the proposal correctly you'd have 5 years to use up to 5 years of eligibility starting immediately after high school. The 4th year seniors who went into the portal in anticipation of this decision are the only ones the decision not to apply it retroactively would affect.

This is what I immediately see when watching him. Once you get past the strange throwing motion he's just putting ball after ball right on the money, and from what I've found his team has had 1 D1 WR recruit while he has been there and that guy signed with South Alabama. So he's not out there slinging it around to a bunch of kids who are open by 5+ yards and picking up YAC in chunks. Even if you completely disregard his production as a runner because he's a vastly superior athlete to most of the other guys on the field his passing numbers are still pretty legit.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't think he's a truly fantastic athlete. He's mobile, but not like Cam or anything. I think his arm talent is what makes him special.

Bristow's complete lack of offense was honestly kind of confusing to me. He's not a bad FT shooter. He made 33% of his 3s at a not insignificant volume (64 attempts) as a freshman, albeit at a lower level. So he's got some skill. We're not talking about a guy who is incapable of scoring more than 4 feet away from the basket unless he lucks into making a FT ala Nick Pringle. He did at least show up on the glass when he was able to play, but just like Williamson he looked like he had never actually tried to put the ball through the hoop before. You have to hope that with another year he can become a bit more of a 2 way guy. Obviously they think a lot of him since he's coming back after hardly playing, injury or not.

Yeah, but if they can get him up to 240 without sacrificing a lot of athleticism he could be a monster. He's raw, but you can see the speed to power conversion and first step get off. I'm not a huge fan of words like if, but, could, might, etc. when it comes to high school recruits though. If they aren't guys you are 100% positive will be able to contribute by year 2 at the latest you should wait to sign them when they hit the portal.

The dumbass never should have left. All he had to do was develop his jumper and Nate might have gotten him to the NBA like Herb.

Overrated prep prospects who matured physically before their peers, but have robotic/stiff athleticism which mostly leads to bully ball.

Yeah, basically an athletic, but somewhat unskilled, 5 in the body of a 3. So the guys typically guarding him can cut off his drives pretty easily because of that lack of suddenness and lateral agility. He's a big 3/small ball 4 though, so if he turns himself into a good 3pt shooter and defender he can definitely have an NBA career. If you're 6'7"-6'10", able to shoot, and willing and able to play defense they'll pay you. You have to be able to do more than that to be a star though, and he was billed as having much more of a scoring bag and handle than he has.
