Same. Think we need both tbh. But innis is on whole different type of time. He’s a day 1 alpha in a college room

It always confuses me when people take 2 prospects with completely different bodies and skill sets and act like they fill the same spot.

Innis just seems so polished. He looks like he's a soph in college already. Plus dudes like him that have been the guy from a young age usually fall off cuz they maxed out early. Dude keeps getting better.

And even off the field aside his impact on the class would be gigantic. The hype and momentum it would build would be crazy.

People need to learn you can hype people up without dragging others down. You can like both players no need to pick a side.

Exactly. But humans have been taught and programmed to think in A or B. Yes or No. Black or white. Up or down. Left or right. Good or bad. Absolutes.

Yea, and he was doing this to OLDER kids since he was in the 8th grade. That’s the biggest sell for me there.

I love Hykeem, but even local HS players/coaches don't consider him a complete WR. He's a go-route specialist. And people talk about him being kinda soft, like he doesn't respond well to DB's getting physical with him.

I know when we played Stranahan, he coincidentally hurt himself in practice the day before, so he sat out. (who hurts themselves during a Thursday pre-game practice?) Maybe it was just a coincidence. But I can tell you that nobody was surprised.


Yall get hyped off of highlight tapes and don't know what other traits these kids have behind-the-scenes.

Innis scares people. And he's a bully at WR. He's tough and ultra competitive. He's been dogging varsity competition since 8th grade.
Hykeem is not in Innis' stratosphere as a total WR.

Hakeem is really talented. Has incredible size at the WR position. My concern is that his entire highlight tape is streaks and hitches. I also know the schedule Stranahan plays and outside 2 or 3 games it’s really not competitive. I don’t have a problem with the strength of schedule because you can see talent but there is a reason Innis been ranked since his 9th grade year. He was running the complete route tree back then too.

Some of these posters sound like they are ready to help Innis pack his bags to USC and give him a ride to the airport to boot! Yeah..nah..we good! We dont need you, Mr Innis! Get outta here and dont send me a postcard from LA!

Smh.

I’m actually surprised that Ivins put in an USC CB. Saturday completely changed my outlook on his recruitment.

This the kind of info that Mario probably covets above track times and measurables

Grateful for the real talk. Some people say he’s the closest to his ceiling of the other guys but I haven’t seen him play live. I’ve heard Andy Jean has one of the highest ceilings. I hope he’s a Cane, zinnia is a long shot…

Nooooooo.
Innis is a way more complete WR.

Hykeem is tall and can run, that's his thing. He's not as complete as Innis.
Innis has size, he's strong, he's physical, can run all the routes, is like a RB with the ball in his hands, etc.

The local knock on Hykeem is that he doesn't like getting physical. If you can press him, he goes into a shell.

Always appreciate the response coach. I think Hykeen has a higher ceiling. My opinion! You have seen these dudes. Imagine Williams Innis Brown ? Seems Innis is about Coach Riley at the moment.
 
5 is too many. Maximum of 4 in one class or you are creating an imbalance that you have to correct in a future class. 100% chance 1 or more of a 5 wr class will transfer, and 100% chance all 5 will not be immediate contributors. Address immediate needs with the portal, take the 3-4 best from high school to set up the roster with the correct numbers, and best players to contribute.

But this is lowkey disrespect, I think this board has a way of trying to level out kids that are likely commits to compare to kids who they don’t see as likely. In this case it’s innis and Williams. Innis is a complete stud. The complete package at wr already. I’m not saying Williams isn’t good but I’ve been seeing way too many slights of innis. Innis being college ready doesn’t mean he’s hit his ceiling either. The kid has another level to tap into.

Yeah, that’s not what i was doing. I don’t see these kids up close like Coach Macho and others do. I live in CT. If someone has a better idea of the kids abilities based on coaching, seeing them live etc, i always have respect for them as seen above. So my opinion was based on the film i saw. I couldn’t care less where they commit to.

Absurd talent at the position
