I try to avoid definitive stances on kids I’ve never seen play live or done any studying on because I know it will get bumped and I’ll look stupid.

But I’ve talked to staff members on 2 SEC teams and 1 ACC team that have scouted him in person and did not offer. And I’m not talking about Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, etc. talking lower half in each conference that make a living recruiting 3 star kids in Georgia, North Florida, and the Carolinas.

Pass on this kid and go find all 5’11-6’1 kids in Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina that run a 10.8 or better and watch their Hudl and start sending out some offers. Land 1 or 2. Shouldn’t be that hard.

Even save the scholarship and find a kid with 3 years to play out of the portal that has those traits and wants a chance to compete to start in P4. FCS, G5, or from a school like Kentucky, South Carolina, Arizona, etc. with good coaching at CB.

This makes perfect sense. Not a scout and only saw a single game, but did nothing to standout. First thought was really soft & went out of his way to avoid contact.

 

[The U is back to work]

Sigh.

Just saw that USC currently has 21 commits. Only TWO kids from Cali.

Holy crap, Lincoln - what it is you doin!!?

I dont think this is a loss for us. To be honest I think we'd be super ticked off in 2 years when he is basically like what we have now.

Not a loss at all. As many have posted, he doesn't look like what we need. He looks like more of the same of what we have at DB and that's not a good thing.

 

[kccanefan]

Not shocking. Auburn is throwing out a lot of money this cycle.

 

[FrancisSawyer]

Was never high on him.

Jesus. We worked this kid all cycle and FSU flips him? And they already have 20 CBs on the roster. Wtf

We didn’t work him all cycle and we stopped recruiting before his Auburn commitment

 

[Canesfreak]

We didn’t work him all cycle and we stopped recruiting before his Auburn commitment

That makes me feel better. I thought he made several appearances in “The Bank.”

 

[Canesmia01]

That makes me feel better. I thought he made several appearances in “The Bank.”

He did. We “stopped recruiting” him when it was clear we weren’t getting his commit and didn’t land any other recruit over him. What does that tell you?

 

[Canesfreak]

Tells me this defensive recruiting cycle has been an unmitigated disaster

 

[bacane]

Saw him a couple games. No thanks.
