We should lock this thread now and not speak his name until nsd. Same with Flowe. PM all further discussions.
I feel the page curse sneaking up. Someone will say some stupid sht leading to a plethora of responses. The kid will say something cryptic and we will blow it out of proportion. 30pages by the end of next week.
 
Nothing wrong with how the leghumpers used Nauta. They made the best of a 4.9 40, 28", vert, 7.5 3 cone kid. It's not the school's fault that he was massively overrated by the recruiting services that most of this board worships.

I bet Golden pounded the table for the Lions to draft a JAG athlete tryhard like himself, otherwise Nauta goes undrafted.

@IndayArtHauz please lock, we need u to lock it like the gaytor needs drug and mental rehab. 😁
 
A 7-5 season doesn’t work, of course, but an All-American type season from Brevin, with Mallory right behind, shows Washington can be a focal point on a team on the rise, on the cusp. Everyone expects Bama to be a playoff team, and UGA right there.

Washington seems like he’s thinking long term.

Watch the whole 5 min highlight tape, I wasn't too impressed. The kid does look fluid but I didn't see 1 play of him showing the ability to to high point a football. Anybody has a link to film of him going up and getting a ball?

Bro that's one of his strengths. Washington weakness will be blocking.

Well, I'm searching for film of him displaying his so called strength because I have not seen it on film. His film also has a couple of clips blocking and he looks decent at that.

I think that Theo is going to Michigan, Jawja gets the Silver and either ND or us will get the Bronze.

2020 5-star TE Darnell Washington was out competing against some of the top competition in the country at the Opening Finals two weeks back. While the Desert Pines (NV) star made a few highlight reel plays, Washington still felt like he left a few opportunities on the table.

“I think I did good, I scored a touchdown early on,” Washington said. “It’s just the rotation - I think I could do better, but I’m not playing the whole game, only 2 or 3 drives per game, but I think I did good.”

Washington made his second cross-country visit to Coral Gables to check out the University of Miami and compete in UM’s annual Paradise Camp during the last weekend before the dead period in late June. Even though some time has passed since that visit, Washington says he’s still very high on UM.

“Miami’s always been there since it’s Tight End U,” Washington said. “I played a little throw and catch with Tyler Van Dyke, he’s a good player, good 2020 quarterback coming in, smart. Coach (Stephen) Field is a good dude. They’re just good all around, they got Brevin Jordan from Las Vegas, he’s from where I’m from. He says it feels like home and he’s from Vegas, so I don’t know, it’s just that feel.”

Just a few days before his Miami visit, the 6-8 260 pound prospect took a trip to LSU and described meeting with the Tigers’ coaching staff.

“It was good, it was great, they showed me the new playbook they’re going to be using this season,” Washington said. “But I don’t really go based off what the coaches say, I’ve got to see it for myself. They can say it, they can tell me, but I’ve got to see it.”

When asked to elaborate more on that, Washington gave an intriguing answer.

“Their plan is great for tight ends, but that’s everyone’s plan, it’s what all the coaches tell me,” Washington said. “It’s not all the exact same, but some schools will tell me this, tell me that, while some schools actually do it. Like Miami, they already pass to the tight end, Georgia, schools like that.”

Because schools like Miami and Georgia have already proven they will feature the tight end, Washington says they are two programs that he knows will get an official visit.

“I want to go to Georgia, Miami… I mean, I got more than 5 (I want to visit) so I’ve got to narrow it down, but some I will take are Georgia, Miami,” Washington said. “I’m also considering Bama, Auburn, Tennessee, LSU… it’s pretty much my top 12, I want to take all of them, but we only get 5 so I have to break it down from there.”

Washington says he plans to release a top 6 “soon” and will decide his official visits from there. The jumbo pass catcher is planning to take all his OV’s during a team’s home game to see firsthand how the coaching staff acts and how the offense runs on gameday.

“With the officials, I’m taking all my visits during a game week, so I just want to see how the coaches react if the tight ends mess up, how they get the tight ends the ball, what formation they run - 12, 11, 10,” Washington said.

After his officials, Washington anticipates he will make an announcement of his decision at the Under Armour game in January. At the Opening Finals combine testing, he recorded a 4.75 40-yard dash, a 4.50 shuttle, and a 31.3 inch vertical leap.

Stefan does he play hoops as well?
 
"I think Coach Niedermeyer, (tight ends) coach (Stephen) Field at Miami, and (tight ends) coach (Todd) Hartley at Georgia have done the best job establishing a relationship with me," Washington told Adams last month. "Coach Hartley probably recruits me the hardest. Coach Niedermeyer and Coach Hartley have done the best job recruiting my family."

Didn't mention much about Bama again besides that he will OV. This was from a Tennessee writer.
