I can't understand why in the hell any athlete who has any sort of desire to go pro would ever attend one of these military schools. Furthermore I can't understand why these schools even offer athletic programs. If your only reason for existence is to churn out officers then why would you want their attention to be divided? Either they need to shut down their athletic programs or they need to be willing to make exceptions for any of these athletes who want to try to turn pro. Especially if the kid gets drafted. Now this young man will probably never get another shot in the NFL. The odds are already stacked against you coming from such a program and now you have to do 2 years active duty before you can even think of football again. By then he won't even be an afterthought anymore.

They enter those programs knowing exactly what's expected of them. They aren't going to those schools to play sports. They're going there out of a sense of service and love of country. Playing sports is just a bonus. Athletics in that environment is incredibly important in building morale and team spirit. Very few players out of the academies will be drafted. Honor their love of country, their love of the game and their ability to actually have their priorities straight.

Just my opinion. Feel free to ignore it. Truth of the matter is, and not that I expect anyone to give a ****, but my life has gone to **** and I don't really have anything positive to say about anything. Judge me all you want, I don't really give a ****

Believe it or not, people do give a ****. Hang in there, fry.

Good, not great.

Only 2 immediate impact players picked up, the others will add depth and could be future starters. I think we left a few guys on the table at DE, but overall not bad.

Would be great to see some deal reached on Sheldon Richardson before the season. That move would easily put us over the top.
