re: Old Recruiting Thread: RIP insiders

What’s his skill set?

His 247 scouting report

Lean, athletic build with space for more mass. Looks to have above average height and length, though size has not been verified. Gets good extension to maximize catch radius. Monster production as a sophomore against Texas 6A competition in DFW Metroplex. Shows spatial awareness and is cognizant of where he relates to defenders and the sideline. Good run-after-catch player with impressive short-area suddenness. Strings together moves in the open field. Effective chain-mover in the short-to-intermediate passing game. Encouraging ability to leverage DB's into breaks on shorter routes. Tough cover on drags, slants, etc. Competitive on contested throws and shows above average red-zone efficacy. Shows good concentration and ball-tracking ability on deeper throws. Can improve get-off quickness and consistency. Often not physically challenged at release. Needs to add mass and strength. Athleticism lacks verifiable context in testing and/or track environment. Plays fast enough but can get faster at top end. Among top receivers in Texas for his class. Potential to become multi-year impact starter at the high-major level with possibility to play beyond college.


He ran a 11.34 100 meter in 2021 which is the equivalent of a 4.7 40 yard dash.

He was also a 4*, not a 5*

I still think we have some decent receivers on the squad, they just need to be coached...

We might, but there’s zero evidence

This coach ‘em up mindset is how the Harsin era failed spectacularly quick. That bullshite sounds nice but the game is getting talent onboard. I like a few guys but our WR room is arse lol

You getting a piece of this fella's NIL Jonesy?

I will agree that if we get a few of the fellas we have targeted in this HS class, they will be better than anything we currently have on the roster.

Are our QBs arse and made our relievers look bad, or are our relievers arse that made the QBs look bad?

Our QBs don’t help but the talent isn’t there, regardless. There’s some guys I like, though. I’m surprised to find fans of that room, though

I’m not sure this TCU kid will pick auburn because of the QBs

Gonna be times that I cite a rating that doesn’t align with your preferred website. It’ll be OK

The on3 composite has his as a 4*

The top site’s composite has been the gold standard for a while. Usually when referencing a star rating we have used 247’s composite; not just 247’s star rating. Now we can use on3’s composite rating and not just their rating.

On3 does have him as 100% to AU. Hopefully he commits - would be a huge addition to the WR room.

On3 had him as a 5*. Their composite has him as a 4*. I cited on3 and the article I read said 5* (because that was their rating).

I’m literally never going to explain this again — I don’t care what you’re preferred website is. If it matters this much to you then post there. I’ll probably cite a guy wrong occasionally. You’re getting free info so deal with it Or don’t, couldn’t care less

Jesus

Cool. If you want to get nitty gritty he is a 4* in On3’s transfer portal rankings.

I’m sorry if this may not align with your preferred rating on your preferred website.

This entire argument is fricking stupid lol

I hope we get him
