Figured this quote would get some attention from DeVries ...

"I don’t talk to our guys a ton about shot selection. I want our guys to be very aggressive, I want them to be confident and if we need to pull them back a little bit then we will. But the last thing you can do as a shooter and a scorer is having them looking over their shoulder. I want them to kind of figure it out on their own and most of the time that happens. Guys figure out I haven’t made the step back three in three months, maybe I shouldn’t try that in the first game, and I think it evolves from there. I want guys that can score to feel they got the green light to go do that and they can play at a different level. 26 years, the scout team you see those guys in the practice tape and they're dominating practice and then you take that scout team jersey off and put the other uniform off it’s like they get scared. Because on the scout team they have all this freedom and they don’t have to worry about getting yelled at and play the other team’s best player and play at a different level. That’s how I want our guys to play with that type of confidence."

Does GG have trouble visualizing and throwing to a spot?

We all know GG seems to be better on a roll out or scramble. But it seems more than that. It seems he has to see the receiver open before he commits. His long ball is accurate and as soon as things break down he can count on Clement to break off his route to find an empty space.

He also seems to throw a decent ball on outs and quick slants.

It looks like he is late on almost all his second option passes. The receiver is usually open before the ball gets there. Its difficult to see all this from television. Anyone see this in person I wasn't paying that much attention at PSU. I keep hearing from coaches that our receivers have to get open, but is them or is it GG can't anticipate the cuts.

A liitle OT: College rankings

U.S. News & World report current college ranking's. WVU sits at #220. I don't give crap. I received a tremendous education at WVU, which served me well in my career. Screw college ranking's. It only fuels insane helicopter parents pushing their children towards " top ranked Universites", at an incredible financial burden, to feed their own ego's.
Let's Gooooooooooooooooo...........
