re: 2020 Recruiting Thread (SVP and Broderick Jones stay committed to the G)

Homerun threats are nice and can break the spirit of a defense, but a bruiser breaks the will of a defense.

We have a homerun threat in Cook and he has trouble holding on to the ball (Seemed to have improved this year) and hasn't really broken a long TD run yet, that I can remember.

Next year we are going after Will Shipley who is an APB. Not sure what is time is, though.

Personally, I prefer Evan Pryor and Cody Brown next year, but Shipley is good, too.

Edwards isn't a bruiser, he's a shifty make ya miss guy. He's 5'10, 200, and reminds me of Jacquizz Rodgers, but obviously taller.

Will Shipley is a one-cut north-south power/speed back with great hands and can line up in the slot. Pretty fast and muscles through contact. But not shifty at all. Very little wiggle. Reminds me of Tevin Coleman.

People keep trying to compare him to Christian McCaffery because he's white, has short hair, and is built about the same. But it's a terrible comparison. McCaffery has significantly more lateral and start/stop agility than Shipley.
