[Commitment Watch] '22 4 star DE Mario Eugenio

[OnlyCyclones]

sadly, my coach was doing that in the early 2000s and should have known this. Luckily, he adjusted by the time I was a Senior, but I already stopped playing by then.

I was still being taught this at a 4A metro high school in the early 2010’s. Didn’t know this was bad until right now. Oof.

I like the lone Georgia Tech fan in there lol.

What are the chances of landing Quaron Adams, Greg Gaines, Trevon Howard, Mario Eugenio and Tawfiq Thomas?

Better than some might think. Oh, and toss a few more, like Micah Riley-Dunker and Jason Essex in there.

Not horrible....

I never thought I’d be saying this, “Michigan doesn’t scare me recruiting the same player as us.” Wow, the process does change the culture.

I told you all about the process years ago....lol.

Michigan still has national championships, even if it's been a while. The biggest thing in our favor is that Harbaugh should be on a short leash and might get canned if he doesn't improve this year. That helps.

Until we land some of these elite talent recruits I'll have more faith in the player development part of the process. Once the 4 and 5 stars come in on a regular basis then the sky's the limit.

 

[CYCLNST8]

Harbaugh IS on a short leash and WILL get canned WHEN he doesn't BEAT OHIO STATE this year.

FIFY.

50/50

FIFY.

Very likely. Yes

Interesting. So he's coming in a day early. He's definitely going to get some personal attention. I wonder if he's stacking a second OV to the weekend or what. Too bad he's not overlapping with Tafiq Thomas the whole time, but you probably accommodate a 4 star DE for whenever he wants to visit.

Great post.

As you mention, those lifts shouldn't be viewed as the same and shouldn't be put in the same class. Deep squats are a great way to engage the posterior chain as well as committing proper hip hinge form/technique into memory. If you do a 90/squat with perfect form odds are you will naturally train your body to avoid compromising biomechanics, such as excessive forward lean and/or hip flexion (both can lead to back injuries). For the average Joe these lifts are more important because few Joes NEED (key word) to lift heavy; it's simply for bragging rights. Minimizing imbalances and injury prevention should be the key for this demographic.

Athletes (as you also mention) have an actual need to focus on raw strength improvements (heavier lifts) but also need to build endurance and power (speed). Having a well-designed routine in which the goal of each exercise is properly understood and implemented (at all levels) is paramount. Unfortunately there are many here (like myself) who grew up in a time where it was all about 'how much you could lift'. Thankfully we are getting smarter, coaches are getting smarter, and there is better research/information at our disposal.

Yep to many people lift way to heavy. If your goal is cosmetics or just to gain some muscle, then you absolutely do not need to go heavy. Surf the rep range from 8 reps to to 20 reps. Maybe every now and again go heavier at 5 reps, but do not build a program off of heavy weights and low reps. The other thing, If don’t lift heavy when your young, your body with thank you at 50 plus.

The biggest thing in our favor is Matt Campbell.

And if these recruits have been paying attention he is one of the top young coaches in America! So glad he’s coaching at ISU! Go Cyclones!
