Answering my Damien Martinez question would be bring this back on topic. But no worries if you don't want to. And no worries if you don't want to answer my questions about Walton. I don't blame you. But let me respond to your final statements for context. - Was Walton held back? Sure. Would...

Exactly as predicted - facts don't change your mind at all. Walton was held back a grade & reclassified to the class he was supposed to be in. Again - Narrative > Facts Oregon St was #2 & #6 in Run Blocking . So are you saying Martinez only put up good stats because he had a good OL? I'd...

I've debunked the OL narrative many times - but it doesn't matter. No one changes their mind on it. Example: PFF Rated Miami's OL Run Blocking #33 in 2016 - when Walton started & got 57% of his P5 carries. PFF Rated Miami's OL Run Blocking #31 in 2023 - as a comparison. Now - Does that change...

Yes - And here's how Walton played in that start vs the 1-7 Jets As I said - you refuse to acknowledge Walton's stats in any way & therefore you have no argument. This "A player starting a game is more important than how he played/that stats he put up in that start" corner of stupidity...

You have an easy time defending Walton - but the problem is your defense is terrible. I'd respect you if you said something like: "Walton's stats against P5 & NFL teams were pretty bad, but I liked him, and he was a 4th Rd pick, so the NFL and a lot of other smart did to". But you refuse to...

Only thing more surprising is there's people STILL defending Mark Walton 😯

Like I said - Some people can understand / acknowledge / accept it - some can't. Example - here's Travis Homer's career rushing stats vs P5 with Martinez & Walton. You can: 1) Just easily see & accept that: - Martinez & Homer have similar numbers & both averaged 2 more ypc than Walton -...

I get that Miami and other schools have already been talking to him. And all schools will continue to talk to him while he's visiting the other campuses until he commits. I get that Miami may already be the choice, and maybe he's using these other visits to drive up his NIL payday. I'm just...

The Mark Walton Paradox will always be this: Do you have the ability to understand / acknowledge / accept the fact that Walton put up all his numbers against weak teams? Some can, some can't.

Here's Miami's RB's in April 2022, and where they are now in April, 2024: Don Chaney - Louisville Jaylan Knighton - SMU Thad Franklin - Louisiana Monroe Henry Parrish - In Portal (Ole Miss?) Trevonte Citizen - In Portal Cody Brown - UVA, back In Portal It's crazy how this all shook out over...

My 1st thought is I'm happy to see we got the last visit. My 2nd thought is that a **** of a lot of traveling & similar sales pitches in 10 days. He may be exhausted by the time he gets to Miami. But recruiting & closing is Mario's calling card.

So saying " If Parrish was thicker, I would be making Frank Gore comparisons" isn't implying he has Frank Gore skills/ability in a more slender body? But take Frank Gore out of it.... Is comparing his body to 6-1 217 Kevin Smith is still a good comparison? Is comparing his speed to Dalvin Cook...

I don't know - it seems to have worked out well for him.

Gus ironically was back practicing in Spring 6 months after his lisfranc. No one seems to mention under Richt he was playing 12 months removed from lisfranc. But 10 years later people are acting like Fletcher's lisfranc is a death sentence. Rutgers was also the worst offense in college...

There's a difference between putting up with a players sh*t because he's talented, and kicking him off the team. The coaches may have been frustrated with Judkins attitude, but they also gave him the ball more the more he complained. If they were forcing him out, they would've suspended him or...

You said - "My only concern with Parrish is his body type. He’s not small, just slender. If he was thicker, I would be making Frank Gore comparisons. Because of his frame, Kevin Smith made more sense." Parrish - 5-10 190 Smith - 6-1 217 Gore - 5-9 217 So the comparison was just wildly off...

It all depends on the starting point you're using for Parrish. If you're using the elite talent you were saying he was as a recruit with Kevin Smith/Frank Gore comparisons - then he's definitely a bust. If you're using the solid runner you billed him as a transfer - then Parrish probably...

He definitely wasn't pushed out. He got 28 & 34 carries in his last 2 games at Ole Miss. That's a coaching staff trying to appease a player, not trying to get rid of him. But - between Judkins attitude issues, asking for more NIL, etc. - sounds like he was a bit of a headache the coaches...

This is the point I always try to make - it goes way beyond just OL & QB You can win a NC with any 1 or 2 positions being average as long as ALL other position groups are elite. 2014 - OSU - Average QB Cardale Jones. But had Ezekiel Elliott & Michael Thomas 2015 - Alabama - Average QB Jacob...
