Jeff James Jr. (Nephew of Edgerrin)

[hoover437]

Corey Bender of SCOUT says he committed and that he is 6'1" 185 lbs. This article was posted today at 7:19 P.M.

I see him up here and I can say he looks every bit of that!

Plays multiple sports? Yes please.

Kid looks legit at safety and has a nose for the ball. Looks like he could be a uncovered gem, and with proper coaching could develop into a phenomenal player a la Ed Reed type of player.

So are you saying he is "elite at playing safety?"

 

[iLoveTDs]

Looks like a beast to me. Only 1 year playing? I like this kid.

What you did there, see it I did

+1 his tape looks great. A little Malcolm Butler also.

On the downside the track and field numbers don't show great athleticism. Pretty mediocre performances in the jumps and the 400m time is awful.

I raise your Ed reed and counter with a Kenny Phillips/slim Sean Taylor type of game

Kid is a phenomenal athlete....

Competes in the 400 meter, long jump, high jump and triple jump. I would definatley be ok with taking a chance on James.

Did u Bother to look at his track and field numbers? He wouldn't make the squad on most track teams down here

Yep, TnF performances are pedestrian. I mean it's great and all that he does these kinds of events and multiple sports (shows what kind of kid he is) but just because he doesn't all these things doesn't make him an elite athlete. I'm not convinced based on his film especially with the quality of the other safeties we're recruiting but I suppose he's a nice plan B/C kid?

How tall is he?

6'1

I really wonder about that... that pic with him and Richt he looks about 5'8". Richt is 5'10" must be on a slope or something.

What pic? Last Richt pic I've seen was with Latrell Williams.

 

[Mbecks22]

doesn't look like an explosive athlete.

However, he clearly has excellent ball skills and hand/eye coordination.

These kind of kids are always interesting to me.

Will be interesting to see how he turns out.

Speculation on Rivals is that offer isn't commitable

 

[Ghandi]

No bat-signal.

No commit.

I'd imagine that they want to see what happens with Finley and James Pierre. If those two go elsewhere, then likely he's got a spot.

Yea probably so. Seems just about every coach tweets out something for a commitment and there is not a single tweet on this one. Maybe he's coming as a preferred walk-on with Edge footing the bill. Would not be a bad way of donating to the program.
