I like the kid but lets not act beating UNC and Virginias is a big deal.
Yeah not amazing form, just shows he could actually do more with a little bit better technique.That right leg scared me
Please stop talking star *****. He test as one of the best athletes at his position in the nation(99th percentile) and if u watch his tape his burst and bend is very good, in between elite and great level. I really have a question though, do u even watch tape or do u just look at rivals, 247, and ESPN then come to a conclusion?
Ran a 4.64 twice Sophomore yr at VT and NC state. Was between 215-220 then. Nike camp, he was at 235... Heavier and a bit more stiff.His Hudl profile says 4.6
See that takes effort and skill in evaluating and projecting. What doomed Cooker is laziness and dependence on recruiting services star rating in offering kids. Then he was beat badly by other schools in getting those 5 stars kids.
I was just reading that thread saying Manny is not a good recruiter. What just happened?

Big time pick up by El Jefe, Coach Stroud & Patke!
This kid has a great long armed frame with high caliber athletic ability, testing numbers off the charts & produces on the field. Explosive quick get off & natural pass rushing skills with a high motor.
Mallard Creek is a school that produces D1 prospects every year, we were just trying to recruit the big 6'6 300+ DT Jordan Davis from there back in the 2018 class, he wound signing with UGA. Marquise Williams the QB we hated from UNC went there too. The HC of Mallard Creek I believe is actually from Ft. Lauderdale.
But this kid is physically gifted & with an offseason in the S&C program could come in right away next year & be in the DE rotation, definitely not a redshirt, he'll play as a True Freshman. Has crazy upside.
He reminds me of another Carolina pass rusher Melvin Ingram.

Cameron Binion was a 5-star!!! (just wanted to use that reference)
Yes Sir... Just trying to provide some insight. Thank you. I'm happy for my young man.Pop is that you? If so, Welcome to the U!!!!
From Detroit area originally always a big fan of him and Nick Williams (Lachey)
I’ve been listening to Zach Smiths Podcast “Menace2Society”. Yes the same Ohio State Zach’s smith. He shares a lot of cool insight in recruiting, Florida and Ohio state days.
Reason for me saying that is in his pod cast Urban Meyer while at Ohio State used to tell his coaches pay close attention to kids Michigan State is recruiting (2 and 3*’s) especially on D, because Dantonio is excellent at talent evaluation. So he would make his staff reevaluate someone if Sparty got a commitment from one of those kids, especially if they are from the state of ohio
I think Manny and our staff is similar in that we do great at evaluating and offering kids ranked low or lower who should be four star players. And then other teams like Bama and Georgia swoop in and steal them.
Not sure why anyone still questions Mannys selection on D players
