Gooden told 247Sports he remained "committed to UCLA" and he is eager to see how things play out while also knowing other schools are reaching out and he will speak to some of them. He does not have any visits set up.

A true 260? If not, what is he weighing and more importantly who are we up against here? I don’t know the competition but looks like a big powerful athlete. He’d probably be a guy they can chess piece a little bit with which I’m a fan of.

Was 260 in the spring with all those OVs eating good lol

Hes playing at 250 rn. Hes open due to all the staff changes. Close to flipping to PSU before the firing. Gonna get a big10 offer tonight and potentially 2 more sec offers in the next week or so. Hes the most powerful player I’ve ever been around. He makes it a point to pancake atleast 1...

From 247: An official visit for Nov. 8-9 is set for Miami. He also locked one in for Tennessee for the Nov. 28 game against Vanderbilt.

Ideally, he would like to take one to Washington, sources said, but that is going to be difficult because of the Huskies' remaining home schedule matched up against Gooden's schedule.

However, those programs are chasing Miami, according to sources.

He is a Big End like Bain, Mesidor IMO

After watching the difference in run defense between Mesidor and Lightfoot, I don’t understand anyone not understanding the need for big d-ends.
LSU used to regularly have 270-280 lbs d-ends who could also move. Like Bain and Mesidor.

I did … Not a big deal, just one man's opinion. Good tape either way, his build just looks more like a player that grows into a tackle. Good end prospect though, no doubt.

No doubt. Reason I said that I could see that more in JR tape then senior.

Penn st wanted him at DT initially eventually they said they’ll take him at DE by that point he committed to ucla. Myself and a few others in his corner advised him hes not a DT. But he leaned out. Pure edge. Game Wrecker.
