QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

BIG difference between MLB drafting HS players and NCAA football teams signing HS players: MLB players are unionized! MLB players are locked into the team that drafted them. NCAA players can almost transfer to another team about any time they want.

I'm well aware of that- my point is about scouts.

Scouts have fallen in love with prospects since time began. They love to project so as the other guys were saying, HS arms aren't going away but it's likely to change to a preference for college guys. I think a fair number of "can't miss" prospects will still get big money from college programs that just see the tools and are willing to take the risk.

Sometimes a QB that has different skill sets is what’s required to win. So for that part of it I’m excited to see how this goes but also more terrified that this is basically the season. We’ve been bitten by injuries to key players for a while now and it’s never really derailed a season. Maybe it’s caused a less successful season but OSU typically finds a way to keep winning regardless to an extent.

There’s no question that right now Julian is the more talented than Luke. Who knows though? Maybe Luke’s willingness to scramble and get big chunk yardage gives this offense an element that’s better?

Just like Howard is not as good as CJ but maybe was what the team needed in that moment. Sometimes what’s needed the starter can’t give.

What I do know is that the Julian Sayin we’ve seen this year wasn’t the answer either. We weren’t winning it all with a QB that can’t hit 50% of his passes in big games and missed wide open after wide open WRs.

Odds aren’t great that the backups are better but at least we are going to find out if Luke is a spark the offenses needed. Because I think he can be provided the plan is developed to his strengths
Julian played at Carlsbad. Luke played for Mission Viejo. There is a pretty big difference. The trinity league in CA is the most competitive league in CA, and possibly the most competitive HS league in the entire country.

I really wish tOSU had that program. I would actually enroll in that but alas...
  • Choke: What the Secrets of the Brain Reveal About Getting It Right When You Have To by Sian Beilock: Written by a leading cognitive scientist, this book dives deep into the psychology of "choking" under pressure in sports, academics, and business, offering practical strategies to keep your cool.
  • Clear Thinking by Shane Parrish. The clear thinking method most commonly refers to the decision-making and metacognitive framework popularized by Shane Parrish in his book Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results, as well as structured models like the CLEAR THINKING Model (Check, Locate, Examine, Act, Reflect).
Very helpful in recognising the hidden processes that affect our thought processes and behavioral responses in real life.

That's a lot of reading, Steve. I have a simpler philosophy - See, pussy is undefeated. So, when the pressure is on, I just think about pussy. :wink:

This explains so much about your legal career, bkb.

Somewhere there's a courthouse where the moment you walk in, a hush falls over the room. Opposing counsel goes pale. The stenographer's hands start shaking. The sketch artist quietly puts down the charcoal, because they know what's coming and they know what you're picturing, and no amount of art school prepared them for it.

It doesn't matter if it's a murder trial or a parking ticket. Everyone knows you aren't thinking about precedent. You aren't thinking about the facts. You're locked in on the one undefeated force in the universe, and somehow it works. That's the scariest part. You never lose.

The fallout has been devastating. Prosecutors throwing cases just to get you out of the building. Jurors faking hardship claims, suddenly remembering sick grandmothers. A bailiff went back to school for HVAC. Three judges took early retirement. The sketch artist now paints sunsets at a farmers market and won't talk about what happened.

They don't teach a defense against this at law school. They just tell you to pray you never draw bkb.
