On top of that ^ he has pull with other SFl kids. He isnt gonna be jumping to get others committed if hes already feeling forgotten.
Lol
Dont get whats funny about pushing away a four star recruit
I'll chime in here.
Mentioned this a while back. Ceiling wise the four horsemen are.
1a. Scarlett
1b. Williams
2. Walton
3. Cronk
Most polished as of now.
1. Scarlett
2. Cronk
3. Walton
4. Williams
My view on it.
Scarlett, Williams and Walton are all top 5 backs in their respective classes.
Cronk top 15 back. He is good but doesn't have the same ceiling those three have. He could prove me wrong and be a great runningback. But I see Cronk being a good runningback. Not great.
The others have the potential to be great, I feel Cronk has another position that he can be great at instead of just being good. I could end up being wrong but this is what I see.
Mind you, when I say ceiling, it does not mean I'm guaranteeing they will be like that. But what they can be if they develop correctly and barring injuries.
I see Scarlett having a young Marshawn Lynch/Pre-Injury McGahee ceiling(AKA prototype NFL RB with great speed).
I see Williams having a Jamaal Charles ceiling(AKA versatile RB who can impact the run, receiving and return game and is electrifying.)
I see Walton being a jack of all trades back, like Michel was, I view him as a Michel clone, He's not great at one thing but he's very good at everything which makes him great. (Complete back, can do it all. No weaknesses. Kind of like a Emmitt Smith of Matt Forte)
I just don't see it in Cronk that he could become great/elite as a runningback. Think he could be good as a runningback but I think he could be a great safety actually. If you watch him, he has IT for defense. Could play safety and returns.
Cronk should dedicate himself to defense cause I think he could play on Sundays if he did. He has a lot of upside on the defensive side of the ball. Especially as a safety. He can hit, has a knack for making a play on the ball and jarring it loose. And he has great size already.
Could see him as our future strong safety next to Jaquan at free safety some years from now with Cole and Davante at corner and Irvin playing the honey badger(nickel/safety) role that is becoming so popular.
I'm not even being optimistic, I think Cronk is trying to play the wrong position at the next level. I really think he could be a great safety. Has a way higher ceiling there.
Even if he played earlier than Williams and Walton cause he is more polished at the moment, I see them passing him up in the future anyways, cause they both have a higher ceiling as runningbacks. And make no mistake, Scarlett is going to play early no doubt.
I could end up being wrong , and Cronk ends up being a great runningback. But in Cronk I see a good runningback,not great. BUT a great safety in Jordan Cronkrite.
It's not a knock on him at all. Just the other guys do have higher ceilings than him as runningbacks. He could be a great safety instead of a good runningback.
Don't take what I'm saying wrong either. I want Cronk bad. But I want him on defense.
I hope he's open to playing on the defensive side. Cause he could do really well there and have a future.
