Skinny Matthew Thomas….??? Same high school correct?
He’s just a typical I’m a solid athlete who’s just always made up for stuff by being tall, and having long strides/arms.
But once you start leveling up, the signs start showing up. I called it on him as a freshman and people tore me up saying “he’s a freshman”.
But when you’re constantly getting the angle out run on you, you’re just not fast or quick. Which is normal at 6’5”. It’s why most dudes that height are DEs….the problem is getting the kid to believe a position change is necessary.

We kind of need to accept he will either always hurt us as a safety, space player, or he will transfer.

Not the same high school no

Thomas was Booker T
 
James easily has the potential to be great. He also easily was a liability last year.

If he indeed had that shoulder injury, for which I have no reason to think he didn’t, then that makes me feel a lot better about him for next year.

A consistently-tackling James would be perceived a lot differently than a hit stick or whiff James.

I think he would be phenomenal playing free safety up on the line of scrimmage running safety blitzes or dropping into zone on every play. Sometimes setting the edge too, but definitely from free safety, just walked up to the line of scrimmage, on every play.

That’s not a free safety at all

My biggest concern with JW wasn’t the poor tackling but the fact that he seems to shy away at times from contact altogether. Kid has so much raw ability but something seems off with him. Hoping he can put it all together this year somehow.

I could do better but I'm lazy. This is how bored I am laying in bed at 5am. You're welcome.
