Post in thread 'WR Daylyn Upshaw commits to Miami'

Very skilled route runner.

His stemming is advanced for a HS WR & is a very good hands catcher. Runs the full route tree, which most HS WR's, (especially the ones from a certain region) don't. Has good outside stacking ability as well.

Nice smooth & quick release; no wasted steps or motion. You can tell he's been Coached on how to properly release off the line. He's not doing the Cha Cha slide before running his route & has good transitional movement with his feet getting out of his breaks.

Runs really nice 5 & 3/9 combo routes.

Lacks raw speed & explosion, but will get open off...

What I meant by my ? Is it seems like the staff has gone out their way to tell both Gaby and Wiltfong that we are no longer recruiting Ffrench. Even after it came out he’s having second guesses about going to college so far away from home. Now UF may get a last second flip because they stayed on him and we chose not to. Was saying did we like Upshaw so much that we decided he was taking that Z spot and we’re done WR recruiting or what happened to make us stop recruiting Ffrench?

I would guess they probably felt wasn't worth getting into a bidding War with UF over him.

We're likely going Portal shopping for a couple WR's this offseason, so wouldn't make sense to overspend for a HS WR who probably wouldn't play much as a TF.

Honestly I feel pretty **** good about all of the skill guys on the offensive side of the ball (Pringle’s size worries me, especially since we refuse to run wide). I don’t remember being extremely impressed with Gilbert’s junior film when he committed but what he’s got out there of his senior stuff has me excited.

Extremely skeptical of the tackles, especially Campbell.

I think Pringle runs pretty tough for his size tbh. I hear you on the T prospects. Seem like reaches but we can afford projects if Bell, Samson, Kinsler, and Plazz all stay competing for the available T spot.

Iirc, he had 6 or 7 receptions in the first half against Hoover. And he's tough too. And last but not least, he's faster than people realize. I'm excited about keeping this kid in the class.

Unfortunately, I was also excited about keeping Merritt but apparently we moved on. I think his name will pop up in a few years as an outstanding cfb player.

Merritt might actually stick

Did he visit for WF?

I believe he did but I could be wrong. It's silly season with reporting this time of year. I like the kid a lot. Really good athlete and can hit like a truck. If he shows up as an EE he could surprise. We have a great hit rate with these Bama prospects and I expect the trend to continue with Merritt & Upshaw.
