like is Whittingham prone to praising everybody? Is he an honest straightshooter that calls people out when they are struggling? We just don't have any basis for comparison.

- That’s reporter speak, or internet guy speak. Coaches don’t say shit like that. - By xcheck August 21, 2026 at 12:25:46 PM

  - It wasn’t from a coach. It was from some unidentified “practice observer” like a former player or something. Maybe it was Danny’s source. - By WestSideBlue August 21, 2026 at 12:35:27 PM

    - All I know is “We’ve had 13 practices and Bryce Underwood has had 13 good practices.” There is no room for a huge breakthrough.** - By xcheck August 21, 2026 at 12:35:43 PM

    - Do they think Bryce needs his confidence boosted? Reasonable, but different than he's killing it.* - By ftb August 21, 2026 at 12:19:51 PM
