I saw that. He's been talked up for a while now, but has been given the dreaded "3 stars" by Rivals. He plays in a good football region, the same that gave the world Chris Leak, Hakeem Nicks, Omar Gaither and DJ Humphries.
This Ritchie kid from SC got a lot of individual work between sessions today. Tall but a tad skinny. Buzz was that he may get an offer.
Thanks. Sorry I couldn't give any more but it's tough trying to keep track of all the players, talking to coaches and watching your kid. I'll post a some pics. I have to get them off my phone. I think many on here have their bias towards Chaney but he is really good guy. He recruits this area so I run into him a lot, but he is a solid dude. All in all, I really like our coaching staff with one exception. Just hope DD doesn't get in the way which I know he will.
I lost it once It was clear that our redzone offense with a true freshman QB was the same as our regular spread offense with Hunter and Bray healthy. Then I lost all respect for the man when he debuted the vaunted pistol attack with no pistol concepts with 2 games remaining in the season.
That was one of the few times the OL got any kind of a push was the pistol O. If Bray couldn't take a snap from under center (their reasoning for the pistol) keep Worley in.
If Chaney wants to change strategy or philosophy mid-season, I've got no problem with that. But it stunk of desperation, not any strategic advantage. And then halfway through that Bama game they just sort of deserted that strategy and put Worley in on the half-yard line. Weird.
I think at that point it was "which option gives is best chance of winning two games?" I actually thought going to the Pistol was the best offensive coaching move we made all season after Hunter went down.
It worked decently, I can't understand why it took 2 months to do it. The reasoning behind it sucked too, "Well, he can't take a snap" is pretty much saying his thumb is nowhere near 100%. The season was a complete loss by that time anyways, let him heal and see what Worley can do against the two worst teams in the East.
