Social media didn’t really catch on until the second semester of my senior year in HS. Soooooo thankful that my idiot self didn’t have a twitter account at 15.

An attribute of a good QB is the ability to be innovated when a play goes awry. A talent

i agree that ct has had a major impact on this program in regards to the development of the offensive line and the consistency in the type of offensive linemen recruited into the program.
confused though by your comment on pryor being considered a major bust before ct. finding high school tape of pryor before the 2013 is akin to finding tape of big foot and db cooper. never heard a complete explanation as to the why for matt other than he was not eligible to play football at lakewood until 2013. he was being contacted by other programs when the signed with the frogs, but neither rivals or 247 even rated the guy coming out of high school.
what is very interesting about matt's class is that might be one of the great offensive line class in tcu history in regards to nfl talent with morris, noteboom, and pryor all with a chance to make the nfl. highest rated of those 3 was morris who wasn't even a top 500 prospect coming out of high school.
Yep, we've got some coaches - GP knows, and speaking of that, we have to figure out a way to keep Sonny a couple of more years. Just guessing, I would say he's about $800,000 now plus bonuses. After this year if it turns out like it might, maybe bump him to a mil.

Has been a lot of buzz about John Stephens Jr (even an east coast guy mentioned him last week) and this piece by JC seems to confirm that he is standing out:

bumping around the internet last night and came across a list from dandy don for the top 100 recruits for louisiana for 2019 ( he actually has warren as the top de in the boot this year).
look at his list from 2018 and stephens is supposedly the 72nd highest rated recruit in the state. no damn way. i have no idea what people were looking at on john because he has the frame, the desire, the bloodlines, the upside, and freakish athletic ability
caught a great deal of crap from a ut friend i play golf with that barber, hunt, and stephens would be the best frosh trio of receivers in the 12 this year and that i felt hunt and stephens upside was bigger than eagles and woodard
Yes, and there were several on this board that thought he was going to be a defensive end.
And it even seems the shine is off Eagles already down south.

Could it be said that Boykin was a better decision maker? Or is that a stretch?

That's a tough argument to make given the volume of bad Boykin decisions documented in the press.

True, some of Boykin's late off field decisions have been poorly contrived. However, his innate ability to make spontaneous
game time decisions when under were pressure were a pleasure to behold.

I don’t think so...17 Hill vs 14 Boykin...Clearly Boykin was more explosive and had more success but Hill had a damn efficient 17. Probably even more so than Boykin had in 14..Having said that, if you don’t have the feet/arm to get yourself out of jams, you better be a pretty good decision maker. Hill was astronomically better at that in 17 than 16..consequently we won 11 games
When all is said and done SR will need to protect the ball and covert 3rd downs at a high percentage. That will be enough with this defense to win the conference. If we are lucky enough to see some Boykin like feet/arm...We might get to the playoffs
No doubt about that.
"When all is said and done SR will need to protect the ball and covert 3rd downs at a high percentage. That will be enough with this defense to win the conference. If we are lucky enough to see some Boykin like feet/arm...We might get to the playoffs" This sums it up in one paragraph. Convert and limited turnovers and we can have a very good season. Will get some arguments here, but believe Shawn will be able to improvise like Boykin did.
