Sweet!
Kid can really play. Likely a FS in college.
Really like his measurables. I know his 247 profile shows an LSU offer, though I am sure that is probably not committable.Quote:

It also will not hurt with his teammates, provided we are after them, which I’m sure we are.
I was told a while back that JD Stewart was the best defensive player in the state this yearQuote:

So down the road, we're going to have the ability to thin the heard anyway if we hit on several. And hopefully they see a diamond in this kid. OL is a spot you can do that.Quote:

Looks like we're on several big body, physical receivers this round.
I think sometimes this staff takes guys a little too early, but they evaluate these guys more in depth than I do and interact with them, so they obviously can read a situation better than I do. I also get that some of these guys could blow up so you want to have them early, but I just think some are guys you could get in the last minute if you had to, and I don't want us to have to turn down a better player Bc we filled up at the position.
The kid has size though which imo, is the most important part.
Agree, we should have a solid defensive class bc the state is much better this year.Quote:

If he “blows up” a little we already have him all work then will be to close.. , if he regresses or isn’t a fit for us a little later you process him..
Win / win
I'm not always a fan of it, but I do think this staff will do more of it. OL you can do it. Skill spots are tougher. We hung ourselves out cutting loose players this last round.Quote:

Well until they make a habit of it , it?s a non issue.Quote:

Get as many OL as you can in the boat and then process accordingly. Every school does it. Just don?t make it a Ponders situation..
I'd feel better if it was Steve or Paul or at least tell us what you heard to make a CB pick with 8 confidence.Quote:

Yeah, no offense to Gene, but he's not a reliable football recruiting source as far as I'm concerned. He only puts in CBs because of what Paul and Steve tell him.Quote:

I seriously doubt they told him to put that CB in.Quote:

Recruiting him as a RB.Quote:
