They're gonna start him out wide. He's got surprisingly good turnover for a guy his size.

Even more so with regards to basketball. Let him redshirt this year in football so that he's healthy/strong for basketball season. Unless of course he shows up to Greentree and is unstoppable.

Could this guy could be one-and-done to the NBA? Is he that good?
I agree. If he has the fluidity to be a WR, I don't see the need to push him to TE just bc he is so big. Give me Calvin Johnson at WR all day even though he is TE sized

I'm fine with wherever they want to play the kid, let's get him into school and see what happens.

Instant Red-Zone threat. Please bless whatever CB is assigned to him in the Red-Zone. He's not just tall the kid can jump.

So basically, in Texas....it's easier to get someone to do one's homework, in order to boost a kids GPA, and easier to get someone to pass the ACT for a kid...
But that dang Texas exit-test has everyone worried... LULZ!!!
Gotta love America's public school system!!!

It's Texas. The English question might be, "How do you spell TEXAS?" and the math question could be, "1 + 1= a) 2 b)500 c) 1,000 D) none of the above.
The important thing is that a couple months ago when he signed with us nobody gave him any chance of making it in. Nobody. Everyone assumed Prep School even though the kid said he was working hard and was getting A's and B's now after slacking his first couple years.
If the kid got a qualifying ACT score he will pass some exit test. Judging by the English and Math skills of today's teenagers, passing a test to make sure you can count change and butcher the English language properly shouldn't be a daunting task.

So, this is kinda off-topic, but if Derrick Griffin can make it in...makes me a lot more optimistic on Coley getting in
+1
Golden landed the best playmakers from FL, Tennessee, and Texas in this past class. Dude is a recruiting beast!!!
How the class didn't skyrocket in rankings once we landed Elder and Griffin after signing day is beyond me.

No, he's a tier or two below that. He's still a beast in both sports

@ByPapaCane: Folks I am hearing that Derrick Griffin passed his Texas required exit test. One down. Next is qualifying for UM. I am hopeful.

Think Lebron James if he went to play college football

If he "heard" it, that means he is repeating info that someone else is reporting. So it might have some validity. He didn't get it from his "sources".
