Especially to athletes like a top 5 rated QB.

A lot of these private "schools" are basically just college prep schools for scholarship athletes. Keep you academically eligible while you focus on sports. They hand out scholarships to kids headed to P5 D1 schools to use their history of big time scholarship athletes get tuition money from Karen and Kyle who think little Jimmy has a future in sports and maybe the school can use their connections to get Jimmy an offer from SW Arkansas A&M Tech.

Knew a kid who went to one of those. His parents were doctors in New York.

When one of them got hit with a malpractice suit and he ended up being moved to a tiny high School in West Virginia, let's just say he wasn't the happiest person.

Fist fights build character. I don’t see how it’s possible to traverse youth without getting in one. 

I was in alot of fights when I was young.  But I remember being in 2 altercations that were in opposite ends of the spectrum.  I remember being in a fight with a kid who was clearly overmatched.  My heart didn't allow me to whip him, because he had no clue what he had stepped into.  I threw some punches and pushed him around, but my heart wasn't into it.  He had no chance.  It didn't seem right.

Fast forward years later.  I lost my temper and all rational thought left my head.  I pushed and squared up on a particular guy, and he just laughed and let me calm down.  In the moment it made perfect sense to challenge this guy.  Afterwards I calmed down and realized I had written a death sentence, but he was kind enough to just laugh it off and move on.  I am thankful to him for that.

FWIW I saw in a Reddit post that Corral beat the poo out of him. Gretzky’s son has a very punchable face. 

Hes also nothing like his father the NHL goat... Not surprising since he wasn't born until after Wayne retired grew up a pompous azzhat I'm sure and didn't even attempt to fallow in his dad's footsteps.

From the account I've read, Gretzky was one of a bunch of rich kids at the school that treated others badly and waved their parents' money around.

I don't like violence, but I might have let Corral get a couple of shots in on Tristan Gretzky before breaking it up.  

And the school? None other than Oaks Christian in Westlake Village, CA. Home of Jimmy Clausen. Take that FWIW.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
