D’Angelo Ponds JMU CB (via Chaminade) Commits to Indiana

[cway313]

I played football with Joyner when we were at Southwest. I believe that was his freshman and soph season.

Got in a fight with him. **** that ******* nole, knew I didn't like him for a good reason lol.

He won didn't he.

Adding extra pounds is one thing.

Adding extra inches will be another matter entirely.

 

[Golsen82]

Oh boy!!! We're talking about an 160 lb CB from JMU??? What the fug is happening here??

Mike sainristil just went top 50. He's 5'10 182. Who's to say Pond can't add 15 to 20 lbs and still be a speedster. We need speed

The competition will be a step up but let’s not pretend our garbage schedule in our garbage conference is some kind of gauntlet of playoff teams. He’s a smaller corner who will be going up against smaller slot receivers. It’s not like he’s some D2 kid jumping into the SEC.

It’s not a gauntlet but it’s a mega difference then where he plays imo (overall it’s a step up). Even if it’s the trash acc there are some competitive teams yearly. But obviously the best acc team will lose 63-3 to UGA

Yeah? GT, UNC, UVA, NCST, did I leave anyone out? It's been a gauntlet for our team.

What the fug is happening here??

What's happening is pretty obvious.

There are two posters who seem determined to die on the "he small he bad" hill, and a host of other guys trying to coax those two to safety (using facts, data, simple logic, and even film [the film is in the other thread though - go look, please]).

Me? I say just let them get trampled by the oncoming cavalry charge (but I'm a sick ****).

 

[AkronCane]

Maybe Tre’vius Hodges Tomlinson, Donte Jackson, or ideally Antoine Winfield as comps for Ponds. Former Cane Bruce Johnson maybe…

Winfield was an absolute beast. He was the best tackling corner and one of the hardest hitters pound for pound that I’ve ever seen. I still remember the sound when he **** near killed Michigan’s TE in ‘97, it sounded like a high speed car crash.

Powerhouse programs for sure.

He’s like 5 pounds lighter than the player he’s replacing

One serving of Gator mac & mayo can take care of that...

The nfl and cfb always adjust to a trend.
The slot is being used a lot more than ever. This dude would be a **** blanket as a nickel imo.

He played in the same conference as the kid from Marshall that this board circle jerked over when he committed.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that…..

 

[Cajuncane]

Just needs a little Creatine

Needs a couple of those Bama Gummies…

Put a roll of those nickels in your drawers, and you set!

 

[chris2183l]

Not sure if it's already been covered but it's he currently still 165? Hopefully he can put on a little good weight without losing any ability.

 

[Cajuncane]

One serving of Gator mac & mayo can take care of that...

Or a box of cinnamon buns…
