Looks like Romello height will be committing...

I do agree with Washington, but Washington is made for the striker position. His athleticism is probably the same as Romeo Finley or better, hes been hurt so there is no telling how athletic he really is, and look at how Finley is playing the striker position.

His testing numbers aren't very athletic with a 4.7 shuttle and a 26 vert. The staff must be waiting to see how he looks now that he's cleared.

I don't see the same type of growth potential in Washington that Finley had in high school. Romeo was already 200 lbs before he set foot on campus, and is currently 215. Which is why he's a prototypical striker

He ran a 4.69 shuttle as a sophmore, February of last year, Romeo had a 4.61 shuttle in his senior of high school, couldn't find a vertical on him. Majority of kids improve their combine numbers from sophomore to junior by a good margin. If keshawn was even able to perform at the combine this year his shuttle as well as his vert would probably be a lot better. With that being said I can confidently say if he is not as athletic as Romeo than he is definitely more athletic.

I understand what you are saying, but he has been hurt and the last time he was weighed he was 180lbs as a sophmore. Yes he has lost some of that weight, but when he recovers and starts working out again he could easily get it back and gain even more weight. With that being said, The staff thinks that Daran Branch can also be a striker and he is shorter and weighs less than Washington. Shii Rivals has him as 6'3 190lbs, obviously that was before he got hurt.

don't get me wrong, I also think the staff is waiting till his senior season to reevaluate him, as well as Riggins and that they are drop candidates. I'm just saying that the staff probably will not drop him due to his athletic numbers, since they were willing to take Romeo, and drop him due to strictly his performance on the field.
 
That feeling we all had last year on signing day is starting to fade. i even have some confidence that Height and Worsham both commit soon. i think manny wants to send a message that we will get enough so. fla talent every year, but don't play us

Ivins wouldn't do that. He knew right when Elijah committed and interviewed him that same night but wouldn't post anything until Elijah did. Ivins is cool.

I stand corrected then mama. I take my statement back. But Cuban cane is still a d-bag. Just playing Cuban it’s all love hermano.
