Yeah 10 is young, but for that unknown kid that impesses some coach in that situation, it just may motivate him to stay on the straight and narrow and keep outta trouble the next 7 years because Coach Cal or Coach K said "I'll be watching you". Kids get in trouble so early these days when they aren't motivated off of the streets. 12 year olds trying to impress someone...anyone that'll listen or watch...rather it be a college coach than the Dope Man. So LeBrons point is well taken, but there are two sides to it and both very valid.

The situation as I read it is he doesn't like that his young son is being recruited. That could only come from him in the media. If the media asked about his young son and he didn't want it to be an issue in the media..."No Comment", when it's asked. Here's the deal, LBJs son doesn't need to be recruited to attend college, but for kids on his team and especially kids on the opposing team, basketball may be the only way they get to go to college. So if Coaches show up in droves to see his son and another kid gets discovered, then it's all worth it.

??? Could see him in a Texans Jersey though.

Or just say no comment when asked. Not everything needs to be in the media. I do agree LBJ is an outstanding role model. Best basketball ambassador in a long time.

I think it's clear by the declining connection of bat on ball and the ever expanding strike out numbers the last two years that the baseball career is dwindling. What is it with pro's named Josh? Hamilton, Gordon, Brent. A lot of lapse in judgment. And relapse to. Well just like Gordon, hope he gets life straight first and foremost cause theres a lot of it left if he does.

Isnt there pictures of Jerry in some compromising positions with a couple ladies not named Jean.

Funny he seems awfully content sitting there with Coach Cal at his sons game. If it really bothers you, ask the reigning recruiting champ to exit the gym.

You said it...almost a decade. Thats a long long time in RB years. I wouldn't give more than a fourth rd pick for the guy at his age. You might get two good years out of him...maybe. Think Ricky Williams after his hiatus. One good year and a few so-so years, but nothing to brag about.

4 game fine or 4 game suspension?

Anyone think another team will offer big money for Ro with all his question marks or do the Cowboys hold all the cards in this negotiation?

Me too. If not for the off field stuff he would be the second best pro QB prospect the past 5 years behind only Luck. Big guy. Strong arm. Productive winner. Pro style offense. Film Smart. All the same things said about Luck when he came out.

I agree. With that O Line you dont have to over draft at the RB spot. TJ Yeldon is a very similar runner to Murray and will probably be available in round 3. The Cobb kid from Minnesota really impressed me every time I saw him this year and he'll probably be around in the 4th or 5th round which is worth a gamble.

How does Shugart have a HR???BC hadn't played a real game yet

Oh and Tony Romo has never had a BAD year. His worst year was 2010 and he ended injured. Never thrown more picks than TDs or even very close to it. Tony sat for two years before he touched the field. Which is standard for a guy drafted later or undrafted as was his case. Had Romo thrown 28 interceptions (ala Manning) that first year as a starter he'd be selling cars right now in Wisconsin.

That makes no sense whatsoever. The high draft pick gets a much longer leash than the undrafted or lower drafts because the investment is too big to giveup on too early. The lower picks get yanked quick because theres no front office folks whinning about the money when you bench em. You ever look at Peytons first season? BAD. But he was invested in $$$. A guy drafted in the fifth round doesn't get that luxury. Jamarcus Russell lingered for three years and he was atrocious, but a top pick.

Thats not true. Earl Thomas was a four star DB outta HS by both Rivals and Scout.com and Chritian Michael was I believe a five star RB outta WB for sure a four star. Tom Bradys so old he was in HS before there were stars! :)

But you stated: It will clearly impact his DRAFT status. It shouldn't have much impact on his overall NFL career ten years down the line if he can play. Tony Romo made lots of money, but he missed out on a lot of money his first three years in the league because of his draft status. The kids making the right move and so are the coaches at EWU. Im sure if Oregon and EWU were not on the schedule he'd be welcomed to workout at EWU while he finishes up that EWU degree.

I agree, but if your good enough to get drafted early and get paid early wouldn't you wanna have a chance to do so. If he went off again at EWU this year he mighta been a second rounder, if he goes off at Oregon he might be the first overall and then he gets a big contract followed by an even bigger contract if he prooves himself before he becomes a free agent.

Right choice. Theres nothing that says he won't be a good and possibly someday soon great NFL QB on the field...on the field!!! I don't think this kid is the next Ryan Leaf. He's done a pretty good job in handling the media and theres been a lot of it, so far. Both negative and positive. You would hope he has learned from the JFF NFL fiasco. He's a very bright kid from what I've read who just needed to grow up into a man.

Eh. WRONG. It may not have any impact on his NFL career, but it will definitely have an impact on his draft status, i.e. His wallet on draft day. How many FCS or whatever they call it now, QB's have been drafted in the first round in the last twenty years? Answer: 2. A whopping 2 in twenty years. (McNair and Flacco) Now how many over drafts on QBs from major D1 in twenty years? I'd have to take my shoes off to count 'em. 😜 You are correct that plenty of NFL QBs have come from non-BCS schools, both starters for the Texas teams this year as a matter of fact, but where'd they get drafted. They didn't make big money until later contracts.

When you start weighing the other available options you gotta figure he is worth that much money. Doesn't make him a superstar...just makes him the market value.

Spin it however you want. An A$$ whoopin is an A$$ whoopin no matter who the opponent. And both teams got an A$$ whoopin. One ain't better than the other.

Thats a tuff one. I am sure the coaches recognize that his NFL stock goes way up if he can start at Oregon versus EWU, these guys aren't morons, and I am sure they sgree with the move, but you spend the offseason prepping for the start of the next season so having him around would be a huge huge distraction knowing he may start that game. I'd do the same as a coach.

Yes Longhorn sh*+ stinks as bad as Aggie sh*+ does. You are correct. Difference I see so far is that Longhorn sh*+ gets flush down the toilet and Aggie sh*+ gets a little sand kicked on it to be stepped on/in at a later date.

I miss JD doing Astros telecasts. Always entertaining.
