QuickStrike Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Not a good start for Coach Gill. 5 star QB, transfer portal additions from Webb, Kentucky, and Oakland. 0-2 and look really bad. You cant lose to Brentwood High. This isnt Arkansas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fb247 Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Wow! That didn't take long. Two very close games. Probably will lose some more this year. All about players. Cody White won two state championship games off a player making plays when nothing was there. Jerimiah Oatsvall won those games and I am sure the call was not Jerimiah " Do Something and score".

This offense is an absolute mess right now. This experiment wont last long if the ship isnt corrected quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both teams will make lots of progress in the coming weeks. don't press panic yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA on a bad year will always have a target on its back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not pressing the panic button, but there are plenty of coaches in the midstate that would do more with the talent. Averaging 17.5 ppg through 2 games is an embarrassment! BA needs BA people. This hire will be a disaster. Mark my words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, he is a good athlete but his fundamentals and decision making skills are a long way from being a 4* QB. In high school football a team must have great decision making skills from the QB position if you want to win against the elite teams. You can’t merely “out athlete” ever team you play! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In high school football a team must have great decision making skills from the QB position if you want to win against the elite teams. You can’t merely “out athlete” ever team you play! while he has some work to do on ball security, I think his decision making is phenomenal as are his skills. but yes, he is getting coaching I am sure. part of the problem is he has not had long to gel with his team. he throws harder than anything they have seen and the ball is spinning backwards (he's a lefty). that just takes time to adjust to plus he can make plays and throws and the players have to keep playing and not stop because it looks like a sack because he will get the ball out sometimes and hit a player who wasn't expecting it. (wow what a long sentence) ok, back to BA's issues. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA got some transfers late also. They all need time to gel. I understand that "thngs happen" and "people's jobss move them" but in both cases, LA and BA got new players in July. They would have been eligible to practice and workout with their teams in June if they had been part of (presumably) a typical admissions and enrollment cycle. I guess I'm asking why so many seem to wait until July to get on campus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
