🏈 2026 Alabama Roster Management Chart and Portal news

He's not confident in his hands, he's not confident in his routes or his ability to break free.
I mentioned something along these lines over a month ago; but I'm seeing it a little differently.

You know the basketball lingo, "stay on your feet." It doesn't apply here, but it does. I still see him, more often than not, making "leaping catches" when it's not really necessary. But, when he's in the air and not looking the ball in, he can look ahead of the play to see where he's going next.

I can see that mindset...I don't have to look it in, I can feel it in. But, at Ty's velocity at times?

@OldPlayer here's where the Jordan brand would kill Ryan: he'd think he was supposed to be in the air.
 
Leaving your feet to catch the ball when you don’t need too, should be fixed in “little league”. I’m seriously wondering if has trouble seeing the ball. I had a 12 year old player that was electric, but anything from eye level up, depth perception was just off. Couldn’t catch a pass unless it was numbers down, couldn’t catch a pop fly (in baseball) at all.

Thought that myself. Told my son Ryan may need contacts or glasses. I’ve seen it happen to athletes before. Didn’t know they had vision issues until something like this surfaces. Then all of a sudden, with corrective lenses, they are a new player. Or maybe he got corrective eyewear recently. When I started wearing glasses, at age 38, it helped me tremendously, but at the same time, it took me a good 2 years to adjust catching high fly balls in softball. Wasn’t as much adjustment at the plate, I guess because the slow pace of the pitch. But high fly balls gave me fits. I remember being terrified on a few occasions when I camped under a ball, it was crazy. Pop ups that in the past I wouldn’t even have to think about, I was sweating getting them in my glove.

That's quite reaching for Ryan situation.


The video explains what Yips is.. and how to overcome it.

That's a good analogy to use.

Taking a quote from Top Gun: Maverick, “It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.” It’s not the brand, it’s the player.
 
I thought the personality would give it away. Then, the hair and the bow tie?

Insinuating you're in Begley's realm...blasphemy. He's an odd duck, so ya got that.
