Actually, he’s not dumb.  At all.  

Now…..does he lack common sense, yes.  A payaso.

He would have gotten thrown out of Stanford if he had pulled that lunch time vulgar rant he pulled at whatever school he ended up attending.

Florida State, which everybody knows is one of the finest institutes of Higher Learning in the Country.  Right up there with Duke, Harvard and Yale.

The standards for athletes to get into a college are far lower than for you average Joe that proves nothing.

The academic standards for admission to Stanford is exactly the same for athletes as it is the general student population.  It is widely known that Stanford has that standard for admission, and even if your daddy is a big dollar donor, your kid doesn’t have the grades, they don’t get in.  That is why Stanford has the smallest recruiting pool to draw from of all the power 5 universities.

 

“Stanford is one of the hardest universities to attend even for football players. With a 4.7 percent acceptance rate, only the best students in the world attend the university. To get into Stanford, students need to excel in AP classes, the SAT, the ACT, their overall GPA, and their five required essays. For Stanford athletes and football players, student-athletes have the same academic expectations to be accepted. Every year, Stanford fans are disappointed by someone decommiting when there’s nothing Coach Shaw and his staff could have done to convince the recruit to stay because ultimately, the admissions team decides who plays football for Stanford. Ryan Bartow, a 247Sports national recruiting insider, tells recruits that with a 26 on the ACT they might have a chance at Stanford. Scoring a 26 is difficult enough for regular students, but imagine those trying to manage playing top high school football while studying for the ACT. A 26 lands athletes in the 83rd percentile range, much higher than the typical student. To go to Stanford, athletes can’t be just a typical student. They need to excel. If a recruit scores a 26, at least they have a chance to be accepted into Stanford.  With high academic standards, Stanford has a limited pool of recruits, putting them at a disadvantage. David Shaw recently mentioned that only forty to fifty high school players are legitimate prospects. Shaw told CBS sports, “I’m not kidding. If we’re recruiting more than fifty guys, we’re kidding ourselves.” With twenty five spots to fill, Shaw probably aims at getting around twenty players per year, so he must convince about forty percent of his potential recruits to choose Stanford.”

Even thought I doubt they can't make exceptions Ill point out it still doesn't prove he actually earned the GPA in high school to qualify I've seen first hand HS anthleted get a 4.5 GPA that could barely spell a four letter word.

Did you just miss that whole big scandal of people paying and bribing people at Stanford to get their kids into the school?

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
