Sweet!
Kid can really play. Likely a FS in college.
Good to get this kid now.. He will get a lot of attention before signing day
It also will not hurt with his teammates, provided we are after them, which I’m sure we are.
Jackson Cannon (OL) has just committed
I never said I didn't like him. But he's a kid we could've waited on and still gotten. We're about to sign two kids that have really never pass blocked in HS. I find that a little odd after the complaints last year that we had too many guys that were run blockers and few OL that fit the scheme. I believe we'll sign 5 OL. 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.
I like most of what I'm seeing on the defensive side in recruiting. From all the talk, we lead for some good DL and are in it with some too. That was a concern last round but they appear to have the ball rolling. Still need to fill the DB spots and that's been a chore. Looks like safety is solid but CB still the issue. 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.
Go ahead and get the kid in the boat. Lots of time to evaluate.
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
