Redding off to fast start at the Opening, talks "surprise" UM commitment

[brock]

Is he?

He’s faster than he tested as

Great interview Stefan, kid looks the part and checks all the boxes, plus some. Stubbs doing a fantastic job thus far recruiting and showing kids he will teach them real, useable skills while at Miami. I know some say they think Redding III could flip, I just have a feeling he’s not really someone who thoroughly enjoys the recruiting process, would rather it be over and done with, so he can get his focus back on his craft.

UM and every other program in the country would want guys like those 3.

Agreed. They don’t particularly win on details, though they are great wrs and do details. They win on burst, suddenness and fluidity in and out of cuts, overall quickness, hands, lean, hops.... Literally 3 of the best wrs to come along in years.

Won’t find many receivers that look better physically than Redding

 

[DMoney]

Redding seems like a true X-receiver.

Great size and physicality, deep speed and contested catch ability.

This is like when some jabroni on here was saying that Manny's archetype for a defensive tackle is between 6' - 6'5", 280 - 320 pounds. No ****.

His DT archetype is Suh at his peak. He’s the only coach who desires players with those traits.

It’s a pretty good archetype. I hope no one else gets wise to that archetype.

****, this kid has all the tools (including a good head on his shoulders). I highly doubt there are 61 better receivers playing high school football in the 2020 class, 247 might want to update their rankings (Rivals has him 6th).

Numbers at the opening for Redding per Andrew Ivins. Elite athlete at receiver

That vertical at 6’2 and nearly 200 pounds as a HS kid is absurd. I’m not sure people understand just how rare that is.

It's insane. Look at this year’s NFL Draft Combine for Verticals. This is just the 1st page of rankings:

Rivals usually do a much better job of projecting/evaluating WRs compared to the other recruiting services.

This is actually just DB’s but still impressive. I’m sure the WR’s are similar.

They don’t have the one he wants though which is aerospace engineering, Miami does.

Since I started out as an Engineering student at UM in 1986, it looks like we have added Aerospace, Biomedical, and Environmental. Architectural may be newer as well, or else it was really small back then.

My roommate and I were both Electrical. He switched to Civil and I switched to the School of Business. If we had Aerospace back then, I might have stayed in Engineering.
