Isaiah Bond - enters portal, enrolls at Texas, flexes a Lamborghini (lol)

[emoney18]

Just CB’d to Miami by Wiltfong, from Buford (Jess’ stomping grounds) and picked up a Canes offer a week or so ago I think.

Curious if anyone can give insight on this kid. Currently rated a low three star, so I’m sure he’s probably a very underrated player for us to be taking him this early in the cycle with a solid CB’s down here this cycle.

Simpson's Buford connections leads to UM offer for WR Bond

Earlier this month, 2022 Buford (GA) 3-star WR Isaiah Bond earned an offer from the Miami Hurricanes after receiving a call from WR coach Rob Likens and DL coach Jess Simpson...

We are recruiting Bond as a WR. He ran a 10.73 in his first meet of this year.

Can he run a route tree? Does he have good acceleration at the top of his routes? Any wiggle after the catch?

Rating mean less more than ever this year. Limited HS ball, exposure, travel, and scouting. EVALS > everything

I think he’s big time. I hope we get him.

That’s pretty dang fast, but what sets him apart as a WR?

 

[DMoney]

Small but flies off the line and shows receiver skills.

 

[Atom Atlas]

Can he catch the ball when it's close to him?? Or for that matter when it hits his hands??? That's really all that matters - CATCH THE BALL!!!...
Ok I'm kidding there's more to it than that but ..... Ehhh... Noooo.... Catching the ball is most important...

10.7 won’t hold for fastest high school time, but it’s still fast

 

[TallyCane]

I like his game.

You know some people that way. Anyone seen him play?

 

[ageezy]

i got pope syndrome, just show up and catch it consistently and i'm good

 

[pacusmc]

Been running all his life

Ummmm... considering our WR's, I think CAN he catch is question #1.

Kid is an automatic take!! Not based on his HS film alone, but based on his interview at 8 yrs old. Kid appears to come from great parenting and tutelage and would be a great asset on the team. Kid has already established good habits and work ethic which is very transferable to competitive sports!!

Normally I wouldn’t pay too much attention to ratings this time of year. Plenty of kids are still getting reviewed and offers are still going out.

This one is interesting because Buford isn’t an under the radar program. Simpson is an obvious connection but T Rob is the CB guy. We’re hearing about Manny not calling Little, wondering if we’d take his commitment right now ... now this kid commits.

I have no view on this kid, haven’t looked at any film, just find it all interesting. Recruiting is a puzzle. This stuff makes it fun. Hope they know what they’re doing.
