General Thread / Eulogy for Jack
Hey guys, have at it.
And feel free to give your best Jack stories.
Mine (more an epitaph than a eulogy): “Never was there a man so quick to claim ‘you’re a Bircher!'”
Recruiting Weekend
NiceBeav compiled a list of recruits visiting this weekend. Pretty big weekend. Go Beavs.
Beavs hosting several football official visitors this weekend. Probably the biggest official visit weekend we’ve had in some time actually.
I had a longer post started but wordpress somehow lost it before i posted so here’s a short version with links to player profiles.

https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/latrell-bankston-241178These are all guys with multiple quality P5 offers, so it’s pretty encouraging that we’re getting so many on campus. This list isn’t final either, some guys are still working out visit plan details so I could see this list growing.
Another possible addition could be JC OL Luke Haggard. I’m also waiting to hear on some others. I’ll try to get verification on the full list later this week once we get a little closer to the weekend.
Beavs Hire Canham
Per Rodgers.
What do you guys think?
I like the hire so long as Yeskie stays on. If he doesn’t, who is a potential pitching coach to target? Canham seems all business. Catchers make great leaders/managers, in general. I’m on board.
Juco Signings
Just got around to watching the film on Wright…he has good ball skills, but the QB is staring down the WR on every interception. He’s jumping the routes. That’s not going to happen in the PAC. They’re going to have to coach him up fast.
Fisher looks solid. I like how he can hang with a slot receiver. Looks disruptive with good awareness. Might have to lose 10lbs. Both seem like they justify the 3 star rating. I like Fisher a little more.
For now I’m withholding any opinion on Shippen. His film is a all over the place in that he plays offense and defense, and there isn’t a lot of good, recent film. Looks pretty good from what I can see. Offer sheet is great, and he’s highly rated, so he’s probably a player.
I don’t see any of the three as wasted scholarships, so that’s a plus over Riley (and even Andersen).
Feel free to go off topic. If baseball/coaching news breaks we’ll do a thread for that.
Scott Barnes Needs to Go
This guy has been a failure everywhere he’s been.
Remember in 2017 I wrote him an email about Heimlich, and he responded, “Um for the 3rd time we discussed 3:45 that makes us 15 to 20 min late . It starts at 5pm and takes 1:30 to get there.” and when I asked if this is how he talks to people he knows, he responded “Ab. My email below was obviously not intended for you.”
What a dick.
Ray is gone. Barnes has to go. There’s a lot of protectionism in the Athletic Department right now and it needs to be cleaned out.
By the way, here is my thread from when he was hired.
And here is the thread with the quotes above.
