a few comments from another thread on here:


quote:


He's not a 5* WR, but a good one nonetheless





quote:


Yeah, I've heard he's a little overrated right now. But regardless he's a top 10 WR





quote:


as many have said, he's probably slightly overrated right now





quote:


He's good, but not Julio. He's a 5'11 possession receiver. Jarvis Landry-esque





quote:


And runs 4.5-4.6. He wasn't going to see the field for a while anyway. The depth at slot for fsu is insane. Playing time was his major factor.





quote:


How does a 5-11, 170 lbs receiver who runs a 4.5-4.6 get a 4-5* rating? Does he have the best hand to ever come out of high school? Is he extremely shifty like a Reggie Bush or Dexter McCluster to make up for the slower speed?





quote:


Nope. Just runs good routes and has good hands. Hence why everyone but Bama fans say he's a bit overrated. He's just one of those guys who gets open and catches the ball consistently. So a solid player, but likely not a superstar





quote:


He has good hands, run good routes, and it's a weak WR's class in Florida this cycle.




From a Bama fan with insider status on this board:


quote:


Not a 5*, but a solid 4*. He is very polished. Runs crisp routes/breaks. He has excellent hands. He doesnt have top end speed of Maze, but reminds me of Maze in a lot of other ways. He is a little shiftier than it appears many are giving him credit for being




Which is a lot similar to what I have been saying.


quote:


Yeah I just watched two highlight videos on him and he definitely looks like he has great hands. That seems to be his biggest asset and will be huge as a freshman. To my untrained eye I would venture to say the 4.5-4.6 speed the Nole poster said is probably true. He doesn't look like a burner as he only ran away from the defense on one play in the two videos I watched




That's all just from one thread.

Now...

I'm sure you did. I imagine you probably talk shite about most of the kids who have Alabama as a finalist. Unless, of course, they are still considering AU.




When exactly did I "talk shite" about him? I said he has great hands and runs great routes, but doesn't have great speed. I also said he was a great player. So, please, explain to me how that's talking shite about a player. I'll wait.
