Houston Cougars Football Thread

Heck of a second stringer!

 

In HS, our trainer was a former UH guy, knew Klingler. He came out to practice one day the summer after he got drafted. Klingler ran passing drills with us, the first pass I caught split the webbing inbetween my middle and ring fingers. Shoulda worn gloves. I've never seen a guy throw the ball that hard from 15 yards away, it was like Mallet-like.

 

Some kid that is apparently halfway up Tilman Fertitta's butthole posted this on a UH fansite.

Could the Big 12 possibly hire an outside firm to help review candidates and keep it a secret? I guess so.

I'm also pretty confident that UH is the Western-most of the 6 schools being reviewed.

 

I would love to see UH in a P5. I really think playing other Texas school would be best for long term interest. However the landscape can change so quickly I hope UH is looking at other P5 possibilities.

Ayers 4.73 in the 40. Yikes

 

I think he made a big mistake declaring early. One more year would have potentially done him a lot of good.

 

Very True. Greenberry made that same mistake.

He made a big mistake not skipping the physical activities who couldn't do. If he truly wasn't capable of running the 40, he should have skipped it due to the injury.

 

William Jackson III - 4.32

 

Might sneak him late first rd.

 

That's top 15 material.

Great Job WJ3!

 

Too bad he got the bug to leave early. I think he cost himself a chance to the focus of the passing attack which would have lead to more improvement in his game and he could have developed more leadership qualities that NFL teams like to see. He could have potential went in the 2nd to 4rd round next year. He'll be fortunate to be drafted late this year. Hope he finishes his degree...

 

That slow time combined with measuring 5'9" is making him a late round UDFA. He better run a lot faster at pro day or his road to making a team will be a lot harder.

Will Jackson III just made himself a lot of money with that fast time.

 

Looks like William Jackson scored big. good for him.

Ayers still has his pro day for redemption. But that stings.

 

Spring practice starts today. Anyone heading out to any of the practices?

I saw a tweet from Joseph Durante that Davon Crookshank is off the team. Anyone know why? Grades have been an issue in the past so I can't say I'm surprised. I was looking forward to seeing him get a chance.

 

Herman says Postma is going to be the punter and back up QB. Salivating at 4th down possibilities..
