Jaelen Strong to ASU

[-Blazed-]

Florida players are overrated only when retards say this "A Florida 3* is a 5* anyone where else".

If you knew why players were rated on the star scale on the sites, you'd know that could be incredibly true.

Couple that with the pure fact that SoFla speed and talent as a high schooler when translating to other parts of the country, you'd be silly to think a 3* wide out at say...Miramar...wouldn't be a ridiculously dominant wide out in say...Las Vegas showcasing the ability to be a 5* in an area of the country where he'd be able to dominate.

Then why do we suck? why does USF suck? Why doesn't FIU, UCF and FAU dominate their ****** conferences? all the elite 3* sofla kids leaving the state and all the Florida schools left to fight for the 1* sofla kids? get real. SoFla talent is overrated by SoFla people.

How can you possibly "overrate" the #1 geographic region in the entire country for football talent. Numbers make this an indisputable fact. South Florida produces the most, the best, and the most well prepared talent in the country (despite awful coaching).

You possibly ask "why we suck" and why other teams "suck"...you clearly haven't been watching football and I won't dignify your sandbagging with a response.

i'd take a 3 star south florida player over a 4 or 5 star player from ALMOST every other part of the country.
and i doubt AL will be able to flip him since he's a juco and i'm assuming since the juco signing date has already come, he's already signed or is signing in the next day or 2 and a done deal to asu.

 

[LexCane55]

Agreed on the thoughts on Coley or bust at WR

 

[jerzeycane]

We're upset about a JUCO WR from the west coast?

lol

We were happy about a JUCO TE from the West coast. why not be disappointed about losing a WR

Because WR isn't a need like TE. And because skill position athletes, like WRs, in South Florida are a dime a dozen. Would much rather a 4 year kid than a JUCO who may or may not beat out our top 3 returning Wide outs.

My problem is posts like THESE.

It implies that our guys are better because they are from South Florida. When none of our returning Top 3 have been on an All-Conference Team, let alone ever put 1000 yards receiving in their CAREERS!!!! This dude threw up 1500 in a good JUCO league in Cali. But, how could he possibly compare to our dynamite receivers who were for all I know in the witness protection program the night we played FSU.

 

[Classic]

Wrong.^

December 19 was JuCo signing day, imperative for kids looking to enroll for Spring. But this dude is a June arrival, so his recruitment isn't over.

 

[5XNC]

It may not be over, all depends on if he wants to sign now or not. He has that option.
If his mind is made up, he'll sign. If he doesn't sign righ away, then I guess he's still open. My guess is he signs in the next few days and al isn't trying to flip him.

 

[JHallCanes]

Bummer, I really really like this kid.

I thought ASU for Strong and Sandland before but once we swung Beau I thought we would get Strong as well.

As long as we land Coley it won't matter. Even though we have a nice receiver group to miss out on AJL, Strong, and Coley would suck, no way around it.

Sheesh I completely forgot he is a February signee. Good call.

 

[RiDLer80]

Did Strong ever visit Miami?

 

[5XNC]

Bakas says strong never got an offer, which I believe.
Jhall, missing out won't be that bad. Next year is loaded. Sure, coley would be great, but, we can afford a coley or bust. Don't want a Cunningham just to have another number there if the staff doesn't feel he is worthy.

You're really ******* up your sufficient and necessary conditions here. but regardless, kids from South Florida tend to be better. And it's very easy to find WR's in South Florida, which was DeadPoets point. And you're correct, chances are that he is not as good as Dorsett, Scott, Hurns, or Malcolm Lewis.

 

[OBLIVION]

Strong is a good prospect, but i don't give 2 ***** we didn't land him.

WR corp is fine for next season.

So why do Florida schools suck? please don't tell me that they suck because they only pick ****** coaches. I know we had Randy but he still recruited those magical Florida 3*s. We should have talent.

Agreed about Cunningham. I like our WRs but anytime you can upgrade I want to see it happen. If we don't get Coley I would rather just not take a WR if no AJL and Strong, and that North kid that's a major long shot.

 

[DiegoCane]

FWIW I don't consider Strong a "loss" just like I wouldn't consider Muhammed a loss if he doesn't come. I would consider Thomas, Kirkland, Bryant, etc a loss if they end up else where.

 

[The Franchise]

LULZ. Most of our fans never even heard of this dude until very recently. Now, we're despondent over "losing" him. WR is not a position of need; it's a position of want where we'll try to pluck 1 super talent. Coley is still in play, and I think he'll be a Cane. This dude Strong looks like a great prospect, but you can't get 'em all. Again, WR is a luxury recruiting position for us this year. We will get one, and he will be a special talent.

Explain to me why he's not as good as Dorsett, Scott, Hurns, and Lewis.

The funny thing is this, you haven't seen Stacy Coley do it at the next level. He's done it against average, if not bad competition, but you are certain that the day he walks on campus he would be the best WR on the roster, correct? All you have to go on is his highlight tape and his reputation in the scouting community. But the kid who just put up 1500 yards and 15 TD's, while having phenomenal measurables, that are tangible on tape, is more than likely not as good as the kids we currently have?

You're making baseless claims in an attempt to marginalize the kid not committing, by basically saying, "he isn't from south florida. Our guys or from South Florida, so they're better", even though none of them have ever put up more than HALF of the production this kid did, which is absolutely effing ridiculous.

The other thing is that I'm not even really ****ed about losing the kid. It's not the end of the world, but it doesn't make Strong any lesser of a prospect, and it CERTAINLY doesn't make our guys any better than they were when we were recruiting him. There's a reason that him and Coley were basically the only WR's getting serious attention, along with Marquez North somewhat.

In closing, you sound ridiculous, and sound like you don't know football, when you ascertain that our guys are better because they are from south florida. It's probably that attitude that has gotten us curb stomped the last few times we played K. state and went to play ND.

Relax with that bro.

 

[motorcitycane]

Was Coley affected by Mcdonald taking off?

 

[BisCane]

We are loaded at WR. Give me Coley

With Sandland aboard and our WR corps I'd be upset if we don't add Coley or someone to contribute for the next 4 yrs
