Went to the game - my son was invited to the underclassmen combine - and I agree with the comments above. I spoke with the father of one of our new players (I won’f say who it was) for quite a while and I asked him why Lingard didn’t get more touches. His response was, “His last name isn’t Cook and his brother isn’t in the NFL.” He went on to say that Cook should have been suspended from the game for violating curfew. He also said that this wasn’t the first time that Cook has demonstrated questionable behavior at an event (camp, official visit, etc.).
Tyson Cambpell is #1 CB in nation. Only catch on him was Hightower on a great back shoulder throw that was well timed and Hightower made a great play.
Hightower caught a ton of passes. You could tell his QBs loved him by how much they went to him in clutch situations. Like others said he will be a great possession guy, but he can do more...great vertical threat that can also go deep. I think he will be our most complete WR when AR82 leaves.
Same could be said with Pope on the East side (must have murdered the DBs in practice...QBs knew who to go to), but it was more as the deep threat. Jarren and the other QBs really wanted to get him the ball for the homerun, and he was open nearly everytime, but they could not get the ball to him.
Surtain looked ok...was beaten a few times...Ty is better right now for sure. They both look physically like NFL CBs, but Ty is the one that played like one.
Lingawd only got a couple of carries despite being the East captain. We later found out James Cook's coach Roldand Smith was East coach...SURPRISE!!!! They tried to feature him instead.
Jarren was good. Tucked it and ran a few times bc thats what you do in these all star games and your OL gets manhandled. Elusive kid, will do even better in RPOs than Rosier. Showed accuracy on intermediate passes. I think on his dime across the middle he was on the run when he threw it. Great pass. Gotta get the ball out in front of Pope on those 9 routes tho...Pope is electric. Overall Jarren showed FAR better decision making than the other 2 QBs. One was "allegedly" the #1 QB prospect in the nation, who went out and tossed 3 picks and a fumble. The other was a ND prospect he threw an ugly pick. Jarren did not turn the ball over and did not force any ill advised throws.
Last but DEFINITELY not least. Nesta the bully. This man dominated the West OL. He made a drive altering play every series. Beating double teams, slipping blocks and beating up QBs. Best DLman in the game and it was not close. We MUST keep him. I cannot say enough about how well this kid performed.
Oh and Jobe looked like a bum all day. Hilarious...numerous PIs, got beat for a TD the play after he gave up a bad PI in the endzone. Was taken deep several times. Seriously looked the worst out of the East secondary by a longshot. Maybe he will be better at safety...who knows for sure b/c he was not played there. Terrible corner.
Let no one besmirch the honor of our posters. I came to this thread with no other expectation than to laugh at the responses to yet another AA thread and merge it with snark and brevity.
Here I find genuine and in depth responses by multiple posters. Well done, gents. WELL DONE.
The East coaching staff should be ashamed of themselves. They clearly favored a few players over the others. Compare how they gave reps to Cook and Lawrence to the West squad. The west rotated everyone equally. Lawrence had like 8 series.
I dont Agree with Campbell of not being physical. That’s wrong. Watch his junior film

Exactly
Campbell was coming down hill in a hurry in his jr film. He tackles more like a S then a CB

He might be a former Cane but he's Cook's coach and obviously he cucked Lo here to get his kid extraordinary minutes. No other explanation from what it looks like.
