Because University of Maryland sucks if you want an actual college experience. That isn't even going into their mediocre(at best)football program.

Could be a number of reasons. A lot of kids want to get away from home when they go to college. I would venture to Guess that Bama THE Ohio State University has one of the better development records when it comes to college football. Or maybe he just really despises LEDO pizza...

I don’t think Alabama has a great track record with developing DL talent. They have had a bunch of solid NLF players, but their DB’s and LB’s have been better. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a vacuum, I'm sure Maryland has incredible facilities. But when you start comparing them to the perennial championship contenders' facilities, I'll bet you can spot some differences. Not to mention the quality of the coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama seems to put out really solid, pro-ready, but not spectacular DL talent. They're guys you can take pretty early in the draft and be close to positive that they won't bust. But they're also somewhat unlikely to be true game changers. We have two of them in Allen and Payne. Both very good players, but not guys that defenses need to game plan around.

Going Commando Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Not sure there is really a pattern of college programs consistently putting out elite NFL position groups. Maybe LSU defensive backs and Notre Dame/Wisconsin OLs. But this stratosphere of player is extremely rare by definition and the players tend to come from all over the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, now that I think about it, there's probably very little difference in the player development effectiveness between say a Maryland program versus an Ohio state. It just seems that way because many of the top high school players flock to these "elite" programs. Maryland would be considered an elite program if enough 4 and 5 stars signed to play there and improved the program's standing. As for patterns, you're right about LSU, Notre Dame and Wisconsin. I would add Penn State for linebackers, but that may be a little outdated now (although that Parsons kid looks pretty good 😁) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wit33 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Also the idea of iron sharpens iron, in regards to top recruits going to elite programs. The idea that an elite talent going up against other freaks for 3 years in practice has great value and being a part of that type community. We’re talking small percentages of compound interest, but it all adds up in the grand scheme of player development. The player is exposed to greater risk when in an environment that could breed complacency and boredom. The mentality Young appears to have is earned through consistent skillful daily repetition fostered in an elite football community. Less risk when a player goes to a major program. Mitigating risk is all it comes down to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballZombie Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 There are A LOT of Rooks that have yet to sign with their teams to my knowledge. Do we expect these players to show up? Should they even show up? Are they allowed to show up? (You could skirt that whole player limit in the building thing by having unsigned rookies?) In a world where we are still unclear about how a lot of the Covid response will play out, coming in to practice may be hard for some rookies w/o contracts to swallow.

ExoDus84 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Is it true that Chase hasn't signed his contract yet? I've been out of the loop on football matters. If not, what's the hold up? Camps are about to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd necessarily call it a "hold out" as there really isn't "negotiation", for the most part, with rookie pay scales implemented. Probably has more to do with logistics and COVID than anything else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that none of the rookies had signed yet, it's not a holdout. This is the first time they've been to team facilities in order to sign a contract. So I think, technically (might be wrong) that tomorrow would be the first day of holding out. Cause this is Day 0 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
