AJ Randle context

[TomAce]

Its track times. Purest form of measuring speed. Not like he is WR.

So…you are on the over???

I want to know what’s holding this kid up from being a 5 star because the athleticism is off the charts.

He has been steady moving up the lists and is now a top 100 player. If you watch his film the one thing that sticks out is that while athletically gifted he isn’t all that physical for the position. That’s just an objective observation, doesn’t mean the kid is trash just that it may have something to do with it.

To reiterate this was a massive pick up.

This is very fair, but I’ll add that this was a common criticism of Sonny Styles. He got stronger and barely missed any tackles this year.

It was the main thing many didn’t like about Bryce in the 25 cycle and he looked like the best freshman safety in the country.

I remember one of those that he missed

Because there's a lot of really good H.S. prospects out there and there are only 30 or so can be 5 stars.

Should VustyVoles be concerned about AR running track at UM instead of football?

 

[bacane]

How are the hands?

 

[WestGA'Cane]

How long til we say switch Randle to WR

Crossed my mind..

Yeah he lacks that “pop”, knock back power, and technique when it comes to tackling. He gets dragged by tacklers a bit and sometimes hits too high. All teachable things. He has EVERYTHING else. And that’s why he’s a top 100 guy. Has all the physical traits of an all American player and looks to have those intangibles you look for.

Guy plays both ways during the football season and runs track. Hard to add the required weight… I think he’s gonna add the needed size and that “pop” will magically appear
