2022 MSU FOOTBALL RECRUITING Discussion Thread

He's not undersized, he's the typical db size in college and nfl. Agility is more important than size at db.

Yeah, I was curious so I went through every NFL roster and found that there are 141 DB's in the NFL 5'11" or under. So I would say 5'11" is a very common size for a DB.

[Bothrops]

One or two inches of height doesn't always translate to more span and leaping ability either.

[Catfish]

Some of these smaller guys ( 5-11 ) have a great vertical jump and amazing hang time. This caliber of player can get in a receivers head real easy.

I agree with all you guys are saying. 5' 11" is not that short for a CB but:

I am not the one that put that smaller tag on him, that is the talent evaluators for recruiting agencies where I read his evaluations.
.
I don't want it lost that those same evaluators were still extremely high on him. They still ranked him as a four star even if he is slightly undersized according to their guidelines.

Yeah I think we're pretty much on the same page. Agree with what you're saying. And the trend is definitely going toward the longer taller cb.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Comparing 5-11 to six foot is nitpicking of the highest order. The 5-11 guy may be much physically stronger, long armed, better leaper etc... just a better player.

Just ridiculous. Think about it. An inch or two of height really made no difference to me when play8ng basketball, football or wrestling.

I do realize there are scouts or media type who get lost in the minutiae.

You see this a lot with q bs. Just stupid crap where a drew brees type gets knocked because he is one inch shorter than some scout wants him to be.

I agree totally ... but at the time I sure wished Tyson Lee was 2" taller than he was when we played LSU in 2009

Damnit I'll never get that game outta my head. Hadn't seen us dominate both LOS against them since John Bond Days at that time.

All he had to do was pitch it to Boobie.

Correct me if wrong; wasn't Boobie wide ass open in the end zone on that last play? But you right. The way the game was going wasn't any way LSU was gonna stop AD on the ground but Mullen decided to get cute about the situation. Reminded me of an AU game I was at where we stormed down the field without a single pass during an epic smash mouth late 4th Qtr TD Drive then Felker's Sister Kisser gets blocked. There was no OT back then.

We ran an option and Tyson Lee just crumbled down before reaching the goal line. LSU thought we were going to run Dixon up the middle and brought the house between the tackles. Boobie was all alone and could have moon walked in if Lee pitches it.

I thought the final play was a jump pass that the LSU linebacker tipped with his fingertips

That was Chad Jones who tipped it. Who then stopped Tyson Lee. And then was a key pitcher on LSU's National Championship team when he played baseball as a hobby.

Absolute freak athlete. He was a safety but he looked like a linebacker.

That was the play before on 3rd down. The final play was the option. If Tyson just hadn?t crumpled up he may have scored anyway. Also we only had to get 6 inches. I would have ran Boobie 3rd and 4th down.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Need to get both Tackles from Laurel. They might be the best two tackles in the state

Have we offered?

Someone go ahead and make the 2023 thread..and I'll stick it. I'm closing this up once everyone reports..
