2024 3* DE/DT Daylen Russell from Columbus

[E1k]

I see everyone saying he won dpoty in dade, anybody have a link to that because uhh bain played in dade too lol

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

This kid will be a solid addition to our 24 DL class. He won Miami-Dade Defensive player last year and had a big role in Columbus championship season. Everyone wants Capers. Yes the measurables are there but other things are not. Capers had very limited snaps for that squad last year

Hector Chavez is another guy we need to target in 2025. Undersized LB but has good football IQ

Larry Blustein loves him, apparently fwiw.

I love this place. The same guys who ***** each year about us missing on the lightly recruited Dade 3-stars with warts that end up blowing up at a lower-5 P5 school instead of Miami are the same guys who are complaining about Miami taking a high-character moderately recruited 3-star from here that was Dade County Defensive Player of the Year on the field as a junior, and has offers from Miami, FSU, L'ville, WVU, and Nebraska. Because, you know, they didn't like what they saw on youtube while they were dropping a deuce at Burger King yesterday.

CIS, never change.

I don't have access to the board so I have no clue.

You don't have access to the board but the legit insiders here have said as much so maybe that will resonate a bit. Does for me, and makes sense.

Different classifications

Someone anyone make it make sense.

Must be doing Columbus a favor lol

View attachment 239652look at this lol

Gaby is legit and does talk to people, but people in actual support say he’s bigger than listed. That could just be weight and not height, I didn’t clarify.

 

[CaneLos]

@skeeter i saw Gaby said he spoke to someone who doesn’t believe this dude’s even 6’1” but Gaby’s going to “get eyes on him Friday” he’s hoping.

@Cryptical Envelopment, that’s how it’s done in a way that even a straight up Michael Myers savage like @IndayArtHauz will keep it holstered.

Bro, Aaron Donald is 6'1", bro! It's about what's in a dudes' heart, bro.

I’m going to withhold judgment until I hear the real scoop from my bellhop

I think moving forward if getting a Dade DPOY is a general principle we're running with, I'm ok with that.

My guess is you take all the blue chip guys you can get along that line but if you see a Calijah Kancey in your backyard and he isn't afraid of competition you take him too. We wonder later how those mistakes are made and I'm guessing this is what it looks like to not make them.

Respectfully, that’s like saying a chic is hot because Paranos likes her. While Bluestein is in the Human Being HOF, he loves everyone. If we recruited based off of who he liked it would make Manny Diaz seem like Mario and Butch Da GAWD of recruiting.

Oh ok yes I'm sure we'll find out as he does more camps too

 

[RVACane]

Be patient fellas, CE is correct.....

Aside from the highlights being nothing special, the thing that makes no sense is that there’s supposedly prototypical body types which Capers and McGahee from the same School don’t fit, nor does this guy, but we want him and not them???

Yes, I said "fwiw" for that very reason, agree. But at least Bluestein has seen him play full games multiple times with his own eyes. It doesn't mean he's a million dollar scout or that his word is the end. If he was, he'd be a million dollar scout. But I put that way above people who pop off without seeing the kid.

But you couple that with DPOY (that's a big ******* deal to me), other very good offers including FSU who we have to play each year, and Mario, Guidry, Joe, JT and Zo seemingly all wanting him, and that's enough to for me to maybe not have a lot of faith in the Burger King youtube brigade.

Like I said in my first response. We want our staff to be able to evaluate local kids where its hard to see it instead of losing them to L'ville, Purdue, NCST, etc. and then seeing them flourish. All those kids, many who end up in the NFL don't look like the best of prospects coming in.

This is exactly what the process looks like. Seeing what other coaches (and fans lol) can't see.

Begs the question, is there anyone else in his classification we'd take? Looking apples to apples.

Second point I agree with. As far as Blue goes, Im not sure Ive ever heard him say "Yeah, I don't think he's Miami material." He likes the kids he gets to know and I get it. Same reason he was pushing for Charlie Strong to get the DC gig.
