OL JJ Sparks commits to Canes

[Confidence1000]

Is this guy a center? Says he’s 6-4 but doesn’t look like it to me

Yes

 

[Confidence1000]

Y’all on nis board kill me always criticizing the coaches evals! If y’all know so much about player evaluation then why are y’all on a message board & not on payroll at one of these schools or in the NFL

 

[fatnasty187]

Just offered in January.

Jax white-boy with a nasty streak.

He's got that Romberg type forehead. Buddy looks like he was born ****ed.

Can only assume our message board evaluators prefer to volunteer their services on the keyboard & enjoy staying at home with the wife & kids.

 

[Golsen82]

Has the name of a future 1st rounder.

 

[Calicane02]

I didn't think he'd have the green light because I haven't heard much about him recently, but 3 year starter at one of the premier programs in Florida is a positive, seems that him and Miret were jockeying for the center spot in the class

 

[pacusmc]

Starter since 9th grade in the oline? Might be ugly bit I’ll take it.

Who?

Is this kid really a take in the best OL year ever?

No write up is nasty work. Whoever this kid is can't be that bad.

Ya'll just haven't been paying attention and he was just on campus. We've been recruiting him for well over a year. Folks had written him off because he's from Bolles and we never get kids from Bolles.

The most important line from the OP

Coaches told him he was offered because he plays w/violence.​

we dont never land these Bolles kids.

We do now.

Is this another Mario "broken rule of recruiting"?

Another CIS law of recruiting goes down in flames.

Landing someone from Bolles is ******* wild

we dont never land these Bolles kids.

Is this another Mario "broken rule of recruiting"?

New CIS Law. Been around so long we never bothered to challenge or document it.

45. Miami can't sign serious recruits from Bolles. They all end up at UF, UGA or somehwere in the $EC.​

Fits the mold of what they pursue at C. Curious to see if one of these guys ever ends up playing or they continue to portal the position.

 

[DontCareJustWin]

One position i refuse to question with this staff is online, welcome to the Canes!

 

[CaneSince93]

First team all state

Out of general curiosity, how many of our CIS posters have ever played Oline at the high school level or beyond, or have coached Oline?

I find it hard to believe that everyone who has offered an opinion knows enough about how high school Oline translates to into college Oline to have an opinion, good or bad. In fact, I would venture to say most of the people offering opinions really don’t have a clue how to evaluate the skills and physical attributes needed for a college Olineman.

Which leads to my next question. If you don’t have knowledge or expertise, then what are you basing your opinion on?
Answer; rankings, and how much other people on CIS have discussed a player and said they like or want that player in this recruiting class.

Remind me never to accept investment advice from the majority of you. You would tell me to buy a stock because you heard some guys talking it up, or because Motley Fool gave it a high rating. And in both cases, Oline and stocks, you would be providing an uneducated, uniformed opinion.

Personally, I don’t know if this young man will be any good. And as a result I am offering NO OPINION. Consider doing the same when you don’t know anything.
