The size comparison to Treadwell is right on. I think Treadwell ran a 4.64, which is likely faster than Hightower. Hightower must have put up a disappointing 40 at the Orlando event because he scratched it.

Only question I have on him is speed. Sometimes, the bigger WRs succeed with less speed in HS. I'd like to see his testing numbers to see how athletic and explosive he is because at 6'2 he's not overwhelmingly big. Looks like a really smooth player though.

Looked bigger than lingard standing next to him at the Orlando opening who is a big rb in his own right

He's not 6'2. He's a quarter inch short of 6'4 now & he's run a consistent low 4.5s dugans will have him as a mid 4.4 by freshman season.
Click to expand...

Yeah I could have sworn I seen him listed at least 6'3 at the Orlando opening

Don't get defensive because these are legit questions: What were the numbers he scratched at the Orlando event? And how did they mismeasure his height so badly at that event? Were they estimating heights and weights, or were they trying to measure them but just messed up?

Thanks for the explanation bruh.

My Money's on some combo of Curtis Dunlap, David Reese, or Cleveland Reed being the other 2 commits

Saying technically 5 commits tells me Delaney commited that day also.
Click to expand...

No sir, It's Dunlap and Tyson Campbell
Click to expand...

Reed cousin said that besides Cleveland that it was Dunlap, Hightower and Tyreke Johnson that were the most blown away by the visit.
Click to expand...

I don't doubt that and I don't doubt we land all of those guys, I just have a hunch it's Campbell. [MENTION=12910]Brooklyndee[/MENTION] can you ruin the surprise? lol
Click to expand...

How bout a compromise. The technicality is Evan Neal... the other two are in that group of players mentioned & to sum up even further every one of the players except possibly tyreke (who I THINK we end up with) will all be canes.
Click to expand...

That leads to another question, how does the db recruiting look if Tyreke, Gurvan, PSjr, and Campbell want in? Where would that leave players like DJ and Russell?

4.54 which by the way is just as fast as all those recievers you just definitively said he was slower than when they were his age.

Yo Chise...at these events, they measure these kids with their shoes off, NFL combine style..if it says he is 6'2 then he is 6'2.

and by looks of his film, he's not all that fast. i don't see 4.5, more like 4.7, 4.8.

DJ has just as much upside as any of them & if not injured last year & on a better team his rankings would reflect it. Russell & burns I wouldn't be surprised to see move on.

I know a few times on film dude ran by 2 man deep, the separation would've been better but seems like qb couldn't get it out in front. He had to slow down.

He's slit faster than some are making him out to be. He's da goods

It sure wasn't me you *** wipe. Go find that post where I said I wanted Moore over Hightower. I didn't even know we had a shot at hightower.

and just bc I question his speed doesn't mean I don't think he's a baller...you got that fluffer?

Stick to **** you know instead of guessing. They give each kid the option of how they measure them & weigh them. As I've said before these events except like the opening itself are all drastically understaffed & unorganized. They have a minimal amount of staff to handle tons of kids. They simply try to push through it as quickly as possible. Details sortve get lost in the rush. But hey feel free to take buddy here's word for it.

Oh yea i forgot. You were bytching about one of our current stud commits (Wiggins or Ivey, can't remember) and were sucking off a non committed kid to do so. Just cause a kid commits to Miami early, doesn't mean he sucks. Have some more pride than that.

The **** I know I know...you know why. Bc I have actually coached at 4 different Opening Regional events.

Run your trap and your game to the rest that care to suck you off.

He's 6'2, get the **** over it.

This. Some posters treat the numbers like the NFL combine numbers. Wait till the actual opening except I hate how they measure vertical jumps there.

I'm a fluffer? Did you see my posts accusing Richt of nepotism by hiring 3 unqualified coaches because of their ties to him (Rumph, Brown, Jon) Did you see my post saying that anything less than an 11 win season in 2017 (including bowls) would be a Richt FAILURE??

Because it's not an official time regardless & most kids don't share those unless they post something they weren't expecting. You're only scratching it to the public by the way. Not sure if you knew that or not.
