Welcome to The U
I don't get some of you guys. Have any of you seen him live or asked his coaches or opponents coaches what they think about him as a player? We need TE in the worst way. We now have two committed and they seem to offer two different skill sets. How can any of you predict his future career stats? Enjoy the journey and stop trying to create these kids' future.
So now it's taboo to scout players unless you're positive about them? What's the point in seeing him live when his highlights are just standard blocks with one catch. If that's the best he's got then I'm afraid of what he looks like live. Seeing players live/full game film is important when highlights
are impressive because you get to see how consistent they are.
I just find it a little hard to believe he could be considered by some to be the best TE in the state after Heuerman and he lineman slow. JMO. Not getting hung up on a random 40 time personally.
More importantly, I doubt he has that kind of reputation with 4 catches to his name. It's not like his offer list is impressive anyway.
Remember our coach was a TE... do you really believe coach Golden would have offered this kid if he has any doubt about his ability to play? keep in mind they offered this kid a few months ago. Until Golden miss more than hit with prospects these scouts services rate low(worlds end), he has earned the benefit of the doubt. At least in my mind...
Plus, they saw him on camp...I bet they test this young man as a pass-catcher TE all day long, since he came from a run oriented offense so, I have no problem with this commit.
Welcome to The U!!!!!
You realize that (hypothetically speaking) we could be saying this about you if you went to camp, were offered and committed. Any of the players at the camp could've been offered and we can't just accept them all unconditionally because they were seen in person. That's a bit ridiculous...people make mistakes and as hardcore fans we should share our own opinions about who deserves an offer. Saying "player X is good because Golden thinks he is" is not your own opinion and is not a worthwhile contribution.
