Former Alabama QB Blake Barnett transferring from Arizona State

So, he's going to transfer somewhere else to sit on the bench?

Rosen from UCLA slammed him recently in an interview. I'll try to dig it up.

What do you think @JoseyWalesTheOutlaw, think old BB8 fits the CCR song with this lyric:
Guess I've got that old travelin' bone
'Cause this feeling won't leave alone
But I won't, won't
Be losin' my way
Long as I can see the light

I concur ......Ole Blake and his surfer girl headed out of the desert....with a child as well....

Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl

Best of luck Blake.

Life rarely works out like planned & the journey is usually better than the destination.

 

[sean]

so does his daddy still think he's the best, out there?

at some point, after transferring that many times, you gotta think that maybe they're not as good as you think.

Well at least surfer girl can catch some waves in South Florida!

 

[EasyTider]

Am I to feel sorry for him.....?

 

[kbama15]

Am I to feel sorry for him.....?

He probably don't even like her! Lol!

Am I to feel sorry for him.....?

If he would have been that good...Nick would have got him an ocean and some waves for her moved to ttown..but he did start at Bama....whatever!

Sports has always been about the "fight in the dog." That dog won't hunt.

I knew he was done in the opener, he looked like a deer caught in the headlights when he got out there. Looked terrified.

 

[PurlJam]

Dammit..... I opened this thread looking for this guy.

Exactly what I said that night. It's a lot different from you wearing a black jersey and it's your teammates coming at you.

When I hit a growth spurt and decided to stick with basketball early in high school, one of the greatest things my coach ever did for me was post me up, feed me the ball and had every one of my teammates take turns literally try to almost tackle me as I went up for each shot. Toughened me up quick.

Some kids are coddled throughout their high school careers. With Blake, he was probably a "big fish in a small pond" and never saw his level of competition in high school opponents that he saw that night against USC. The college game is drastically different. You could see the terror in his eyes after he got popped on his 1st drop back.

Sometimes the college game just never translates for some kids for various reasons. Blake being soft and afraid of competition? I actually blame the coddling of his parents and HS coaches for that.

The college game is drastically different

AMEN!!! I was an invited walk on that had suffered a shoulder injury the 3rd game of my senior year in HS and I NEVER FACED THE COMPETITION OF THE GUYS THAT I CALLED TEAMMATES AT UA!! NEVER!!! What an eye opening experience. The freshman class that I came in with would go on to make up perhaps one of the greatest if not the greatest defenses of all time, the '92 defense!!

one of the greatest things my coach ever did for me was post me up, feed me the ball and had every one of my teammates take turns literally try to almost tackle me as I went up for each shot. Toughened me up quick.

My coach did a similar drill using the LB shields. Worked on posting up and taking contact on the shot. I was the enforcer on our team as a 6'2" 180# PF!!:shock:

I'll never forget the first time at Alabama that, while I was playing CB, the pulling guard came to take me out. I had never seen a guy that big (at the time 260-270 lbs) with that much speed. I wasn't in high school anymore.

 

[OldPlayer]

Not that it matters, but he's headed to South Florida. Will have two years of eligibility left.

How's the surfing in Tampa?

My question would be how is that "huge for USF?" They just pulled in a guy that is going on his third team in three years, because he couldnt beat out the other QBs at either Bama or ASU. And the talent level at ASU is nowhere near the level of Bama.
