Damn. It's not like he took a running start either. Didn't realize his arm was that strong.
He's got a cannon. Problem is in a game environment his mechanics break down and it takes him 4 seconds to wind up and throw the damn thing.
I'm glad he's working on it though. Let's hope he has more success than Tebow in changing his throwing motion.

I can't even stream R rated movies here. Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu block the content due to the country I'm in and their crazy arse religious beliefs.

He has two teammates committed to Rutgers. I wonder if he's one of those kids who prefers to do his own thing or follow his friends?

He's hiding some moobs there.

He doesn't seem much bigger to me. Probably put him on a bulk and worked him out with powerlifting. Explains the purported huge fat lass and muscle gain.

Vinson mentions Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama and UGA among the schools that are recruiting him the hardest right now, but he isn’t in a hurry to start making cuts or decisions when it comes to his list of schools.
His plan is to get through his junior season before worrying about any of that.
“I plan on having a top five before my senior spring,” he said. “Then I want to make a decision before my senior season.”

I need a router for that. Right now I'm pulling off the free wifi with a 30 Mbps download speed so it's fast, just can't watch adult content.
I'm moving into a newer building in the next few weeks where I can pay for internet on my own and I'll get a router. I can VPN then.

After thorough study using specific scoring criteria, Bleacher Report National Recruiting Analysts Damon Sayles, Sanjay Kirpalani and Tyler Donohue have graded the top 200 players in the 247Sports composite rankings and provided in-depth analysis on each young athlete. Bleacher Report will run a position-by-position breakdown series of the best college football recruits in the class of 2016. Here we present the Top Defensive Tackles.
The talent level of the Class of 2016 defensive tackles is beyond impressive. The numbers speak for themselves.
Of the top 20 players in the 247Sports composite rankings, seven are defensive tackles. Three of those seven are in the top 10, and the nation's top-ranked player is Rashan Gary, arguably one of the most complete defensive tackles to come through recruiting in a few years.
Bleacher Report's CFB Recruiting 200 series breaks down the top defensive tackles in the 2016 class and grades them on key factors such as pass rushing, tackling, explosive strength, run defense, hands and motor.

19. 4-star DT Raekwon Davis
Height/Weight: 6'7", 315 pounds
High School: Meridan High School; Meridan, Misssissippi
247Sports Ranking: No. 19 DT; No. 182 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 92/100
Committed to Alabama on August 11, 2014
When you look at Raekwon Davis, the first thing noticed often times is his size. He's a physically imposing athlete who plays with a chip on his shoulder. The Alabama faithful was excited to get his commitment last year. He chose the Crimson Tide over offers from Ole Miss and Mississippi State, among others. Alabama is hoping to keep him committed after all this time, but you can bet head coach Nick Saban and his staff are making sure they do their part.
Bleacher Report Analysis
A big, tall defensive lineman, Davis plays with a high motor and a will to win every play. He's an athlete who uses his length well against opposing offensive linemen. In addition to being a solid rusher off the line, Davis also is someone who can disrupt pass plays with his height and long arms. Add in the fact that he plays with an infectious level of intensity, and he's expected to be a major contributor in the SEC.

16. 4-star DT Karamo Dioubate
Height/Weight: 6'3", 279 pounds
High School: Prep Charter; Philadelphia
247Sports Ranking: No. 16 DT; No. 149 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 92/100
Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers
Karamo Dioubate is that proverbial mold of clay every college coach hopes to get. He already has the size to be a defensive end and is good enough to play either defensive end or defensive tackle. Many are recruiting him as a defensive tackle because of his ability to bully offensive linemen inside. Penn State appears to be in the driver's seat for Dioubate, who has 25 reported offers, according to 247Sports. Ohio State, Alabama and Rutgers are three schools to watch as he goes deeper into his recruiting process.
Bleacher Report Analysis
A shade under 280 pounds, Dioubate is something of a tweener on the line. In this case, it works as an advantage, as he is versatile enough to be a disruptive run-stopper or a solid pass-rusher off the ends. Dioubate has great pad level and lateral movement, which helps him cover a lot of field in run plays. He's also versatile enough to play on the offensive line, if a school is in need of an athletic interior guy.

9. 4-star DT Kendell Jones
Height/Weight: 6'4 ½", 361 pounds
High School: Shoemaker High School; Killeen, Texas
247Sports Ranking: No. 9 DT; No. 65 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 93/100
Committed to Alabama on May 22, 2015
You don't get the nickname "Hulk" for being pint-sized. Kendell Jones Jr. is the extreme opposite of "pint-sized." Arguably one of the trimmest 361-pound athletes walking, Jones is the perfect example of someone who can turn on the charm off the field and be a dominant force on it. When he's locked in, he's more than a handful to contain as a defensive lineman. Jones verbally committed to Alabama on May 22, choosing the Crimson Tide over Texas, LSU and several other schools.
Bleacher Report Analysis
In short, Jones is a load to defend. He is naturally strong and deceptively quick. When he plays with a chip on his shoulder, he's one of the most feared individuals in the 2016 class. Jones is a physically gifted athlete but knows he can be even better with the right tutelage. Alabama could be the program that turns a great defensive lineman into an extraordinary one.

5. 5-star DT Rashard Lawrence
Height/Weight: 6'3", 305 pounds
High School: Neville High School; Monroe, Louisiana
247Sports Ranking: No. 5 DT; No. 14 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 96/100
Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma and Ole Miss
Rashard Lawrence is a wanted individual for a lot of reasons. A primary reason is Lawrence's approach to the game. He's an athlete who never expects to lose a one-on-one battle. That attitude has made him one of Louisiana's best athletes and a major target for Power Five schools. Lawrence has 23 reported offers, according to 247Sports. LSU and Alabama are two schools to which he is paying heavy attention.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Lawrence is a strong athlete who plays with a high motor. His quickness off the ball is a strong point, but the way he uses his hands may be what's best about him when he lines up for a play. Lawrence is fun to watch because he plays with a mean streak. He has the no-nonsense attitude that every coach wants in his defensive lineman.

2. 5-star DT Dexter Lawrence
Height/Weight: 6'5", 310 pounds
High School: Wake Forest High School; Wake Forest, North Carolina
247Sports Ranking: No. 2 DT; No. 4 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 97/100
Uncommitted: Considering Arkansas, Clemson, Florida and North Carolina State
Football seems to come naturally for Dexter Lawrence. When he's on the field, he appears to go through the motions, but at the same time he's dominant as a defensive lineman. Florida, Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina and North Carolina State are some of the schools in which Lawrence is interested. His process, however, is wide-open. Lawrence has more than 20 offers and said he doesn't have a timetable set for a decision.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Lawrence makes playing defensive tackle look easy. He's a big, strong, elusive athlete who can either bully the offensive lineman or make moves around him. Lawrence is quick off the snap and deceptively fast. He's a player who can be a game-changing lineman at the next level. Look for him to make one school very happy when it's time for him to make a commitment.
TideWarrior apparently knows some people in the recruiting circles in NC and he thinks we have a legit shot for Lawrence so I'm posting his analysis due to that.

1. 5-star DT Rashan Gary
Height/Weight: 6'4", 311 pounds
High School: Paramus Catholic High School; Paramus, New Jersey
247Sports Ranking: No. 1 DT; No. 1 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 99/100
Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, Auburn, Clemson and Michigan
Finding flaws in Rashan Gary's game is like finding needles in a haystack. Even against the nation's best players at The Opening, Gary showed his dominance. As a junior, he had 14 sacks to go along with 55 tackles. Opposing offenses did their best to run away from him. With 30 reported offers according to 247Sports, Gary is a wanted man. Michigan, Alabama, Auburn and Ohio State are among the teams in the hunt for his commitment.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Gary is a football phenomenon. Few 300-pounders can run the 40-yard dash in five seconds; he's run the 40 in 4.74 seconds. Gary's explosiveness off the ball and overall speed make him extremely difficult to defend. When you bring all of his characteristics to the table, it's easy to see why he's the top-ranked overall player. Gary has a bright college future ahead of him wherever he ends up.
Posted on 8/3/15 at 2:08 am to TideSaint
Getting Gary to come here as our current monster DL is gutted by the draft after this season would be the most hilarious thing ever.
Opposing teams coaches, players, and fans would be so happy that A'Shawn and company are gone, and then here comes Gary.
