I was wrong on Jaden Harris, no problem admitting that.

He was recruited initially out of HS as a CB & then was moved to Safety & obviously hasn't been able to make that transition.

But here's what's really interesting... I have the balls to actually have a take & give my opinion, yall just sit in the weeds & take sneak shots because you can't actually give any opinions on players.

The same people talking sh*t be quiet as a church mouse when I'm right though, so they have to go out of their way to find when I'm wrong in order to justify trying to aim at me.

I can go down a long list of prospects I was right on, but that runs counterintuitive to the agenda. But what's really funny, is the Coaching staff for Miami Hurricanes are the ones who accepted his commitment & decided to make him a starting Safety, not me.

Evals are not an exact science. Most of these guys are just here to complain on any single thing they can latch on too.

In some cases, they are probably the Jaden’s of their workspace lol.

Real ones respect you big dawg and would pay to have you on staff lol.

Ay but seriously tho ... Why do you think he has looked so slow? With his athletic background and speed, I think I'm just shocked at this the most. I expected a downgrade when it came to the mental side but the lack of speed is surprising.

Playing out of position can slow you down mentally, which slows you down physically.

When you don't know your assignments & are tasked with doing multiple things simultaneously, it causes you to hesitate to think, instead of react.

JHarris is mostly guessing on a lot of plays & he's getting caught in the wash because OC's are identifying on film that he doesn't know what's happening on a play to play basis, so they're attacking him.

I still got hope for him im ngl lol he got the tools, **** is just moving way too fast for him right now. Wish he was back there with someone experienced in this defense, but meesh looks just as lost unfortunately

Definitely understood. So I'm just wondering, wouldn't he fit better at Guidry's "star" position he's always telling us we're lacking?

Sometimes, 3 starts means you're just a 3 star. But I've always believed 3 stars mean you're a D1 athlete. So no one can really be disappointed with the play on the field.

And to all the ****** takes (in hindsight) nothing wrong projecting up. This fanbase just does it for EVERYONE. And for a lot of these kids, the writing was on the wall day one. (Late offers and none from big schools=filling rosters)

It's the 4 and 5 stars that do all that extra **** in the recruiting process turn out to play like landscapers as much ground they be on.

I can’t evaluate at all unless me personally I feel like the guy is a can’t miss. Which is never a good way to go cause there are always misses. Only when I see the few each class who I really like that’s the ones I for one will say we need to land them. But that’s backfired a ton of times for me pause. Stewart was it for me last class and Jeremiah and I did like the white boy.

Dbs are tough unless it’s like a Caleb Downs, I’m not even sure of DJ this cycle but we have to get him cause he’s local and a 5 star but idk with him the film doesn’t blow me away. But he could be a monster cause you can’t teach that size and straight line speed. Pause

I’ve wanted to see him get burn at CB, can it be much worse then what we’ve seen outside of OJ?

I’d also imagine your comments were relative to the then current, although not so different, stage of the CB room. I’d were recruiting at Taint’s level at CB you would have said something different but given the dumpster fire situation, as a prospect he looked pretty good. He could at least run with WRs.

To me Harris is a cornerback/nickle and Richards was a safety and we chose to play both these guys out of position.

Yes, Harris looks horrible at times but people don't understand the point you just made. Harris was playing soccer 5 years ago so I'm sure playing safety is overwhelming his senses but you certainly can't question his athleticism. That's literally the only thing that has gotten him to this level.

this is the answer

A Jadais richard didnt really play cb at vandy. He was on the back end or in a nickel type spot.


Harris is over thinking and not ocnfortable or confident which has led to him playing slow as ****...i think the kid is athletic and i still do and

Maybe he turns it around beginning now

I'm reserving judgement on all defensive recruits for now. Hard to tell how good or bad (talent wise) a kid is when they're never lined up properly or don't know where they're going. (i.e. not prepared)

Nobody looks good on the back-end right now, including our 5-star.

Only exception is OJ and he plays the position with the least thinking involved.
 
I was a big fan of his as well when we landed him but maybe I’m just stubborn but I stick by it

He was an unheralded nobody recruit that slowly worked his way up to a starting role. Not something most of us, even those that liked him, would have guessed

The part that gets me is literally everyone on our defense outside of OJ and Barrow look like ****. Harris has been awful this year but the same safety group we were trashing last year is now getting it again even though there’s been complete turnover

This
OJ just goes out and covers dudes. Blankets them. It’s insane. Safety’s have to think and make decisions. Who are the best safety’s here of the past 10 years? Probably JJ4 and kam. They’re not elite 4.3 athletes but they’re plenty athletic and have great IQ.
