Robert Stafford commits to the U

Jun 30, 2022

Eau Gallie (Melbourne) CB Robert Stafford gives Miami its third blue chip commit in the past week. He has solid size for a high school corner (5'11, 171), but his athletic background is what separates him. Last year, he caught 42 passes for 605 yards and 5 TDs at WR and also played hoops. His verified testing numbers confirm his athleticism: 4.54 laser (fastest at the camp), 34.5 inch vert (best in camp), 4.28 shuttle and a 122-inch broad jump that is above the NFL average for corners. He's also been timed as fast as 21.53 MPH.

If you're looking for a Miami comparison, his combination of twitch, quickness and overall coordination reminds me of Corn Elder or Sam Shields. Huge addition for the staff:

Can't "lose" a recruiting battle for Stafford if you don't acknowledge that you made the effort to get the kid...

yep. that's fair.

(you're good at this).

My take: with that much athleticism and twitch, combined with the natural moxie, you have to think the developmental upside is huge.

kind of kid that we usually never land, because he won't give us the time of day, ends up at an SEC school, so nobody pays that much emotional attention: and then we hear, 4 years later, something that goes like this:

"with their first pick in the second round, the kansas city chiefs select, robert stafford, CB, LSU"

and we go back to watching and waiting, to see which team our starting CB's sign their free agent contract with, after they go undrafted when they declare early. SMFH

@Liberty City El ... tell me i'm wrong

I like the take but the kid is raw as a corner, going to need to get a true corner to pair with him. Damari brown better jump on board if he wants a spot.

73rd percentile athlete in my database based on the numbers D$ reported in OP and adding a projection on his PowerBall.

Weight holds him back, but he's above average in every single category other than that.

What parts are you seeing as raw? Out of curiosity?

If this young man was 6’3” instead of 5’11”, he would be committing to Coach L. He can legitimately hoop. Most of the time football players can play good defense and get to the rim. Stafford can shoot the rock. Words of wisdom to the class of ‘23, do not bet Stafford in a game of basketball. He will take your NIL money.

The corner tape that is out there looks very good imo

He can mirror and tie his shows standing up. Extremely twitchy...1st year? Nah...But I don't think he's too far off.

Busy with work, three small youngsters (all 7 and under). I'm in grad school again, which is really dumb, ha. Been following recruiting more just because I've made friends with some decent sources and they are excited, which is infectious. I used to only care once they signed, but it's a bit more interesting with Mario.

Life is good. Enjoying being a poster on the board every now and then.
