I completely disagree with your line of reasoning.Bandy?
Dean makes Henderson a luxury. Dean has the same speed and 100x more experience. People forget CJ has less than 50 snaps at CB.

This the only fan base who would turn away top talent because they think we have enough at the DB spot.
Now be objective here. Question for all yall. What makes him a top talent as a db? To be a top talent at a position means you've shown you can be a monster at said spot. He's shown he can be a top talent on the offensive side of the ball. Wanna argue that I'll take him in the slot all day. No complaint. As a db all he is is potentially a top talent & that's a big if. To clarify I'm not saying he won't end up as ****. I'm just saying he's a huge question mark cause all were going off is intangibles
Didn't you say you played for Butch? His whole deal...and the thing he did better than anyone, possibly of all time...was projecting a kid 3 years down the line. As DMoney and others have said, this kind of speed plus the tools (long arms, dangerous with the ball, etc.) make him a no brainer. I personally think he is a kid that at worst is a dangerous returner and someone you throw in the slot if he doesn't have the awareness to be a corner.
Or do you disagree with that?
Yes.I definitely disagree because as I've said in another thread all situations are unique from another. This isn't butch days. We aren't at deaths doorstep. We don't have three years to wait on this kid. We both know if Richt signs this kid who we all know is not gonna contribute basically for **** till his junior year yall will be calling for Richt's head & calling CJ everything short of God's child for being such a bum. Besides that 3 years won't help us any.the legit window for him is next year. Then pardon the pun cause in 18 them savages get here & they Are game ready as freshman in most instances. His ceiling doesn't come close to those. That's my problem. I'm saying all this but unfortunately I think yall will be happy & he ends up here. So we'll find out who's right. Personally I'd love to be wrong
Never will I wish bad for a cane.
If anything, us not being on death's doorstep allows us the time to develop a raw kid like Henderson. We don't need him to play next year because we're not hurting for scholarships. Every one doesn't need to contribute right away like you needed when Butch had heavy sanctions.
This is a take 100% of the time--elite measureables that project into a top tier corner. How do you figure Henderson's ceiling isn't close to the 2018 kids? With his testing numbers his ceiling at the very least is as high as all of those guys. Do you question his toughness? Because he played RB. And you can't be completely soft playing RB. Whether you're a scat back, all-purpose or bruiser. I saw his highlight tape. He wasn't only running jet sweeps to the outside.
You pay coaches to coach players up. You give Rumph a player with Henderson's measureables and there's no reason he shouldn't turn him into a top 2 round corner.
