I could see him being a really good receiver actually for Michigan. Assuming he's able to gain weight he's a perfect match for not only big 10 play (ala Harrison) but more specifically Michigan. He fits their offense. But I've been said I think cause is where this is headed. Won't work out as well for him. But that's on him.
Agree, if you’re a 5 starWR talent serious about making the top 3 rounds of the NFL draft you dont sign up to play for Cuse of all places. Unfortunately he doesn’t realize he has as much of a chance to be a Highly paid NBA player as me & you.
Personally I think he's got his priorities out of wack. But I understand his approach cause honestly he doesn't have the game to be a top tier basketball player and he doesn't have the body type or physical attributes(outside of height) to be a top tier football player either. At his age to have some type of height(don't know when he hit his growth spurt @Confidence1000 not sure if that one gets by or not) allot of kids are still clumsy with it because they haven't acclimated to that height, footwork etc. But he's not that tall where that should be the issue. To me it seems like he's got a long road ahead of him to become good to great in either sport especially football cause I don't see it period in basketball.
I wouldn't say it's likely. BUT you can at least see a path to him becoming that guy... Basketball not at all. Seen him play once in a tournament nephew was in and left thinking what the **** people talking bout with him.
All that doesn’t change the fact, that he’s slender built and can’t really run routes. The kid has a ton of work to do to live up to any blue chip status at the next level. And I mean a ton! Don’t get me wrong, I’d still love him on our team, but he has a ton of work to do. People seem to forget that and think he’s ready-made like Jeremiah or something.
6’5”, not a guard skill-wise, too light/not enough bounce to be a undersized 4. Not an “elite athlete” in the basketball sense. Most of his game below the rim. Agree that it’s difficult to see him being a significant basketball player for any school on his list. Could see him becoming a multi-transfer kid in college. By all accounts he’s a good kid, may be lacking in self-awareness though
And add to this, if he is seriously considering playing both sports in college, the basketball training is likely going to impair the muscular and physical development he needs for football.
Also, those Michigan wr's had an easier time running routes vs defenses when they knew the other teams signals thanks to their stealing.
Logical and makes perfect sense. Only issue is how committed he is to playing basketball and how long before he commits full time to football. Difficult to physically develop and pick up nuances of the game if you’re in the basketball gym.
AGREE
Saying Lopez is top 2 is a wild statement
