(Landon Ibieta is...) Looking like the goods!

Don’t understand the comparison to Berrios/Restrepo aside from being white. Seem like very different players

Annnnd...that's why he only has 3 stars...

NCAA/NFL scouts are obsessed with making "comparisons", i.e, this guy is the next "Named NFL Star". As such, smaller, scrappier players of a particular complexion tend to be put into the Welker-Edelman category. And don't get me wrong, Welker and Edelman were fantastic players, but many people tend to focus more on heart/hustle rather than speed/route-running as the keys to why a guy has success, thus only 3 stars for a 4-star-worthy kid.

The Bootleggers' coach calls Ibieta one of the TOP FIVE kids he has ever coached. Go back and check out who he has coached, and then we need to start asking the Rivals/247 evaluators some serious questions.

This is NOT about giving the kid a "Gaytor Bump", because he's a UM verbal. This kid's talent should get him the 4th star.

Our only comp for this kid (after the 4th star appears) will most likely be LSU. Baton Rouge is an hour drive from Mandeville.

Baby Adam Thielen. Dude can do it all. What a good get by the staff!

 

[Go Canes!!]

He's already told multiple SEC schools that didn't recruit him before the Miami commit...to pound sand.

LSU too?

Correct. In the interview the coach was tripping over himself with praise about the kid. Could not even express what a good football player this kid is. Of course, every coach talks up his players but that interview was beyond just that.

 

[Robbymoto]

LSU too?

Bootlegger coach talked about just how hard it is to pull a Louisiana kid that LSU wants. This would be one **** of a pull.

Speed kills. Jesus

You just answered your own question…

 

[pacusmc]

Errrbody coming after him. Watch.

 

[CBurrr93]

Kid is absolutely moving

 

[TheOriginalCane]

LSU too?

Yes.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

LSU too?

For now.

I read the article posted with him & his dad the other day. Seems about as solid as any recruit I can remember. They told a few SEC to **** off already.

First rules of comparing players is they must be the same shade, no ands , if’s or buts.

 

[Cribby]

Reggie Wayne?

Whoa friend , you’re setting a dangerous precedent by comparing those two.

 

[caneallday21]

His game is smooth but he has some dog in him where he fights for the ball too while absolutely having enough long speed to be a deep threat. He's also not small I think he's 6'0 now so yes he's white but he'd not just a slot wr

 

[JG14]

He'll be a 4 star soon. Hopefully he stays consistent with telling SEC schools to suck his ballz.

Midlo just changed his handle to "SEC School"

Agreed. I was thinking Marshall Few

 

[caneallday21]

LSU too?

When Johnson decommited from LSU I never saw them bring him up but they brought up Preston a ton and a local track guy so it seems we're safe here and I'm all for it

Can you post the article if you can find it? Would love to read it. Thanks!
