Wish you’d coach at Atascostia instead of Crosby @SouthParkCane

 

[KANE]

Yep. They watch a short highlight film and think they can evaluate a player. Teams don't care about highlight films. They get game films and can see a kids highlights and mistakes.

This!!!! Rightchea!

I've been asking for stats on the kid since his name popped up on CIS. Where are you reading this? I especially want to see his short shuttle. My biggest question about him is burst. He's got a lot to like. Just not sure he goes from 0-60 quickly enough. Film doesn't show it, at least to me.

The athletic did an entire piece on him. Supposedly runs a 4.5. Also mentioned how he blew the Miami staff away with his knowledge of coverages which probably stems from the fact that they run a complex 4-2-5 which is almost identical to what TCU runs. His coaches are telling him he's tailor made for our scheme.

 

[YST Cane]

Gonna have to check this kid out locally. My son is in the feeder middle school for Manvel. A ton of talent in this area.

Apparently he played with a knee injury last year so gotta watch that sophomore film to see if there's any noticeable difference in his speed

I think @DMoney pointed out that his sophomore film was better but didn't reference the injury. That's good to know.

 

[Willweeverbegoodagain?]

What time is his announcement today? Anyone know where we can catch it?

 

[Canegetright]

I NEED to see this end well!!!

 

[Canegetright]

Someone please post a link if possible. I'm at work, but this qualifies as a family emergency.

I watched his sophomore highlights . #1 takeaway is that HUDL is loooonnnnngggg. Which means he's a playmaker.

Medlock is a true LB, so we won't have any issue with him taking 2-3 years to convert from rush end, and we've seen how hard that is to do. He's built really well, has enough speed to close the gap on RBs in the second level and scrambling QBs, so he's not slow. He's faster than Flagg when comparing HUDLs. I especially like his ability to diagnose the play quickly and always get to the ball.

His negatives still show up. He doesn't have a good first step, and it's not just due to reading the play. Even on clear blitz situations, he is no faster than anyone on the defense off the ball, including the nose tackle. He seems to be fine after that first step, but he's not bursty either. We saw Keontra close that gap in a finger snap during the Spring Game. Or Phillips get-off from the edge. Medlock doesn't have that.

All in all, I think he'll make a great add to the class. He'll cover his zone well, give us what Shaq brought us. Super solid. High floor but ceiling's not Day 1 / Day 2.

I definitely noticed the lack of explosiveness too. I think his speed can be somewhat improved, but I like the take considering his football IQ & knowing he has advanced knowledge of a similar scheme to ours.

That why he‘s a 3 star. Lacks the speed/twitch that you need to be a 4 or 5 Despite having the size. Have to take some of these kids but we need to hit on them as well.

I read somewhere he had 100+ tackles as sophomore. Sometimes all you need is a knack for knowing meeting the ball carrier to be successful in CFB.
