Collins Acheampong???

Not gonna lie, w/Citizen and Nelson it does make you go, hmmmmmm

And you'd think we would have one of best medical selling points for athletics of most programs....

Why? He could easily end up a starter here

Fair question, but hasn't played thus far. IMO, playing >* ... when you're still underdeveloped and play at the high P5, its tough to put you on the field...look at what happened with FSU yesterday against Georgia. But when the competition is lowered, there is no reason a guy like a healthy Acheampong can't play for like...Charlotte in year one and be more ready to compete immediately at the P5 level. Instead this just ends up being kind of an overall beat year for the player (I know there was some health issues here, but I'm talking holistically).

I'm thinking more of an Antione Jackson type scenario, where they enroll at a G5 as a true freshman (even think of it similar to when Deion was getting good players to Jackson State) and get real playing time, ball out, and then level up to the P5, NIL money for them increases in most cases, and they are in line with real playing time at the major college level immediately (especially if they EE or something like that).

With that said, go back and re-read my original post...it was in response to a pretty bad question that failed to read the post it was responding to.

And still more physically ready to see the field. Maybe that's the reason for the departure.

Maybe but I still see it as a loss. This kid was highly thought of by the staff when we signed him. To cut bait after he was a couple of months on campus isn’t ideal. We will be fine and it’s not a huge loss but I’m not dismissing it as being over recruited.

Rumor is he’s going to Michigan.

Rumor is he’s going to Michigan.

It's where he wanted to be originally. We helped him with his family stuff.

Eh
**** near every program in America has had a kid depart from their 2023 class already. That’s just the norm now.

God **** “cancers” and mercenaries…

**** I thought this guy had Calais type potential.

Guess not

He had Calais size but he was project. Didn’t he just started playing ball not too long ago?

 

[calinative umstudent]

Hopefully he ends up staying imo.

 

[ssvir]

Another Wario misfire..so many on this site beat their chest and go on and on about how great of a recruiter he is…well, start backing out all those that leave in one or two years..and throw in his incredible game day coaching..

 

[sstcane]

Not sure why we would give Dylan Russell a scholarship and let this guy walk to loosen spots. His upside is night and day better.

 

[theibisrules]

WHO??,

 

[cway313]

Lets go back to the days when we barely had top 20 classes, With more misses then hits and the worst linebacker and cornerback recruiting in the P5.

Were there more wins?

 

[sstcane]

WHO??,

Sorry Daylan Russell - 6’1 235 DL from Colombus is in this year’s recruiting class

Would suck to see him leave. Seems like he has ton of potential/upside on measurables alone..

 

[Maskoff407]

Called it. The day he committed I said this kid looked like transfer portal candidate. He had no senior HS tape. He’s too soft and thin to play DT, and not athletically and too slow to play edge.

Blount will be in the portal next year at this time.

 

[Maskoff407]

Blount will be in the portal next year at this time.

He’s young. If he does go, it’ll be after his junior year. Blount isn’t like Achempong though. He can see the field as a DE.
