Brenen Thompson [WR transfer from OU, for you casuals] has rocketed up my “Ya boy” rankings. Kid is really impressive and interesting to hear talk. He sounds like a great kid.
After hearing a number interviews from SEC Media Days
- Thread starter TheBannerM
- Start date
He’s very articulate and seems incredibly mature for that age. Just got married, has responsibilities etc. He’s also very fast. I look forward to him to be a go to guy this year.
Hoping to hear more lebby comments on Van Burens transfer.
No doubt, just heard it this morning and thought that was one of the best interviews I've ever heard one of our players give. Super impressed with his maturity and his comments on leadership. Now I hope we can find ways to get him the ball so he can break Bump's TD record.
Not a negative take, just observational, but a transfer going to media days is telling about the current state of CFB. It used to be reserved for standout upper classmen who were pretty much the "face" of the program. I don't pay a lot of attention to SEC media days, but I can't recall a time that I didn't know the name of a player representative who was there (i.e. saw the name and didn't immediately know who he was/position/etc.). Without your context, I wouldn't have any idea who that was.
I think he's going to more than replace Craver for us. Maybe even the transfer from JSU & Louisville who led us in receiving.
I thought that too when I first saw he was one of our representatives.
Not saying you're wrong, because I agree with your premise in CFB overall. But after hearing the interview, it made perfect sense to me that Lebby chose him.
Also, in this case, I think Lebby had a history with him at OU if I'm not mistaken, so that probably factored in as well.
Not sure if we have anyone that matches that description right now, but, yes, it has traditionally been like that.
