I read on here that he didn't look to hot at the Opening. Like I said, the jury is out. But to come on here and say he is the Best DB in south fla outright? I don't know about that.
The market for 5'10 corners is shrinking. **** was there a corner chosen in the 1st round under 6'0? The NFL standard is forcing colleges to recruit taller kids at corner. There is obviously a role for him on any defense but you can't make him your
#1 corner in this Diaz scheme.
LULZ He was invited to the opening in Oregon and stateoftheU said that he was the best DB at the event. Diaz runs a heavy cover-3 scheme, which is the main defense for Columbus . Bandy has been the most productive corner in dade against the best competition, while usually playing in the same base coverage of Diaz's defense.
7 of the CB's taken in the first 100 players in the draft this year are 5'10". W.Jackson(22nd), V. Hargreaves(23rd), Cyrus Jones (60th), Mackenzie Alexander (54th), keivarae Russell (74th), Kendall Fuller( 84th), & Brandon Williams(94th).
8 total DBs in the first 100 with Karl Joseph (14th).
I read on this very site that Bandy was getting worked by Jeudy. Maybe it wasnt the Opening but I know I read that here.
I said 1st round. William Jackson is 6'0 last time I checked Nfl.com and espn.com... I will give you Hargreaves but there were scouts who werent 100% sold on him because of that very reason AND because he had short arms. It was a definite knock.
You can call it what you want but there is a reason that FSU, UF and UM have not offered him. The kid is the Goods I will admit. But lets not act like that the reason why the Big 3 have slow played him isnt because he is 5'10. (And I read that he might be 5'9 1/2) If he had elite speed and quickness and change of direction like Phillip Buchanon did at 5'10 then we might be having a different conversation. But he doesnt.
If we have a chance to take 4 DBs and we can get the "wish list" of (Brini, Davis, Henderson, and Wilson) then Bandy is out and I wouldnt feel bad at all. Now as one of those kids drops off the board, I add a kid like Bandy to the fold. Which it sounds like that is what the staff is doing now that SDavis seems to be pointing toward Gatorland.
