Travis Hunter In the Portal

[SFbayCane]

That's the only thing that really matters here. Dude has top 1% of 1% of 1% abilities and is a take anywhere

True.
I’ll be interested in how his career shakes out given his hype.
He’s good no doubt and will play on Sundays.
But, so far he’s been less than spectacular.

I’ll go further and predict he will never be the star in college, which he was predicted 10x over.

Worth noting: Travis Hunter is the highest rated recruit in the internet era of college football recruiting. #1 overall in historical ranking.

Travis Hunter is Deion Sanders. Unworldly athlete and does things so naturally and easy it looks like he isnt trying.

But I do think his 1/2 year at JSU will set him back a bit so there will be an adjustment. He isnt going to just march into the PAC12 and lock down 1 side of the field. Also much like Deion he wants no part of tackling and being physical.

Jackson State Highlights. He seems to play both WR & DB at JSU. Highlights confirm both of @Rellyrell 's points. Size and potential hothead issues.

Edit: still, if he's seriously looking, I'd be making him priority #1 in the portal given our desperate need at both CB and WR.

kid is (still) as raw as a defrosted chicken.

apparently, deion may not be as good a CB coach as he thinks

but hunter's skills are undeniable.

he also did something in the video that deion never did: tackle.

you take this kid all day, every day.

Yep or when the entire planet knew Addison was going to USC and pitts coach started crying so we heard Texas was in it lol.

Deion can claim his son without any tampering but with Hunter he has to play the game of “looking around.”

All that talk about HBCUs SMH.

Serious question. What did people want prime to do? lol he was a football coach and accomplished everything he set out to do. JSU was also on janky business

 

[Suhrthing]

If there is any opening, shoot your shot. WTH not?

 

[Empirical Cane]

Just keep Deion and anyone associatef w/ Colorado away from this class.

FEAR THE BUFFALOES.

 

[S.CarolinaCane]

I have a strong feeling he is going to the Buffaloes, any other school involved seems like leverage to get as much money as possible.

 

[Brandinho]

Colorado doesn't have enough money to pay for Prime let alone have a robust NIL plan. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

 

[Hurricane23]

Would Hunter be a DB or WR here?

That’s tough, hard for me to answer @Cribby what you think?

He's just a polarizing dude, so people will always have strong opinions on him.

Same as literally since he played at FSU. When you're that loud, people will always have their takes on everything. But it's what makes him who he is.

 

[AllAboutTheU]

Is this just to throw off the tampering stench even though it’s obvious? Don’t want to get my hopes up about a Hunter and McClain tandem for two years.

 

[hollyhood27]

Someone on this board called on3 “onCheeks” and it might be the greatest and truest nickname ever…whoever it was, bravo.

**** Josh Allen’s getting a good one

Agreed. He’s ultra polarizing on this board.

In this scenario, I expect Hunter to go to Colorado. I also expect the 3 schools named are not an accident. All 3 are hot on the trail and may shoot their shot to an extent. It will also add juice to Deion appearing that he won again…. Likely a battle that may not have ever existed…. which is Deion being Prime being Deion

 

[Zbrod95]

Don’t fall for any of this garbage. They put it out there on purpose to avoid tampering.

 

[TheATLCane]

Side note I’d be a bit worried if I were Colorado fans If Deion starts bringing to many JSU kids. I mean they just lost to NC Central…you want 10-15 kids from that team?

CU had 1 win this year

 

[SFbayCane]

I have no issue with Travis Hunter ending up at Colorado. Coach Prime is his guy. Deion convinced him that he's the guy who can maximize his talent and draft position. It makes sense that he'd follow Sanders to Colorado.

That said, it would be an epic steal if Mario could land this kid.

 

[canesmang1]

But but I thought it was about going back to HBCU and restoring them to glory

 

[wnycanesfan]

You definitely shoot your shot. I'm expecting him to go to Colorado but the kid would also be dumb to not at least listen to other schools.
