Some of our better players have been lower star prospects so i hope we are going back to evaluating players that can play regardless of stars

Fast kid that will have to be taught how to play CB.

They're basically just offering anybody who runs a 4.4 or lower & just hoping we can mold them into a legit CB.

The problem is we're extremely thin at CB & have no depth to be bringing in project CB's who are 1-2 seasons away from being contributors at CB. The most they can do is play Special Teams.

This kid, Colson & Marcus Clarke are all projects, now Clarke is farther ahead & more naturally talented than the other two, but none of them will be EE's & none of them can be expected to come in & play right away, they're all Redshirt players.

Which means we're going to have Al Blades Jr, Ivey (who's horrendous in coverage), Couch & Williams who have never started a game, and two CB's that will need a Redshirt & neither physically ready to play as TF's.

We literally might not have a playable 2-deep lineup at CB, as it stands we seriously have only enough CB's to run the Dime package & if any of them get hurt we'll have to play two TF's that need a redshirt & are two years away. We have 4 playable Corners, with one being terrible in coverage & 2 having to learn on the job.

In other words, Rumph has done a terrific job with the CB room...

It's truly shocking that a team in S. FL is in this kind of shape at CB, just shocking.

And rumph still deserves to keep his job? Smh I’m so sick of this amateur hour BS staff. I loved rumph as a player but Fvck him as a coach! Diaz has made his bed surrounding himself with these scrubs and I’m actually happy he’s not changing them for better coaches because that gets us to the ultimate goal of getting rid of that bum Diaz next year. Can’t wait to see manure and is pop warner staff fired.

Diaz has his guys that know his system. Diaz has ties to all those guys on defense except for rumph.

This is what bothers me, you guys love to use useless rankings like this. Banda is listed as Chaney's primary. Chaney was coming here no matter who recruited him. Banda whiffs every time he has an actual recruiting battle.

And that’s what bothers me. Every time we get a player “he was always coming here” every time we loose a player it’s “whiff”.

I’ll be very respectful and tell you David and Banda are his primary’s. Without Banda, he’s at UGA. You are 100% wrong. The kid has an AMAZING family and wants to be close to home. Very Duke like in his loyalty and believes in himself. He wanted to be here. However, that didn’t stop UGA and if he wasn’t properly recruited, he’d be gone like all the others. Give credit where it’s due.

I'm not saying the kid didn't need to be recruited. Everyone needs to be recruited, even Duke Johnson flirted with other schools. I'm saying for the reasons you stated he wasn't a tough sell. Compare Chaney's situation to say Josh Jobe or Stevenson last year is completely different.

The bartender? Oh you mean the number #25 recruiter in the country based on 247 recruiter rankings? I swear y’all just be talking out yo ***.

Ya nobody worried about those little rankings...

They are obviously flawed if you have Banda the #25 recruiter in the country.

5'11 160lbs CB from out of Pflugerville TX, goes to 5A school Weiss.

Had 5INT's 15PBU's & 700yds as a KR/PR, runs a 4.34 40 with a 4.02 shuttle.

His only offers are UNLV, Sam Houston St, Incarnate Word, Abilene Christian & Texas Southern.

I'm guessing this means they know they're not getting Rakestraw... Idk why TF they're offering a kid like this but not offering De'Arre McDonald or Lorando Johnson.

But once again, Miami with "eLiTe" CB recruiting smh...

in this kind of situation, El … the first place to look for the answer to your question above, is in the character corner. if due diligence shows anything off base, you have your answer.

be that as it may, other than the 4.3 40, what does a kid like this bring to the table? either they have uncovered the next philip buchanon, or someone is TRYING to get fired.

someone explain it to me, because I just don't get it.

all that being said, this kid has jets, and his highlight tape is a **** of a lot better than someone whose best offer is Sam Houston State.
