Kam Kinchens - Student of the Game

Good thing Highseas is no longer around, he would have to eat some crow on this one... Ouch

Low Impact

Kam Kinchens - the slogan is "no more slow midgets" and unfortunately it looks like Miami signed another. I've honestly never seen a DB get exposed and torched as badly as IMG did to this kid. He got killed in man, got killed in zone, and struggled in run support. His eye discipline got exposed on RPOs. Even worse he made sloppy mistakes as a punt returner. It was a grotesque performance.

He lacks makeup speed in deep coverage and when he loses phase it's over for him. He's slow and tentative filling alleys and dropped his head to lunge tackle on multiple occasions. His angles have to be perfect in run support or he's getting dusted. There's no way to sugarcoat it - he looks like Knowles 2.0 in my opinion. For the self-proclaimed local recruiting gurus I'd love to hear you explain how the traits/performance shown in that game is acceptable and how he's one of the best prospects in the class. I just don't get it.

Bob Shoop.

Anyone find it interesting that it was the defensive (insert whatever the title is) who is working with the safeties watching film?
Is it possible that Shoop should be the actual d-coordinator because he knows what he is doing?
 
Says a lot when the true freshmen outperform the upperclassmen. The idea that they actually make tackles and get people to the ground is a nice change.

Oh boy. Would really love to read his evaluations on Hall and Bubba.

Its not an exact science, nobody gets all their evaluations right. Nobody. I really appreciate when someone takes the time to actually review game tape, breaks down nuances and forms their own opinion regardless of outcome.

That said, if you take your evals too seriously and challenge differing opinions well... gotta take the Ls when they come.

Oh for sure. Shoot, we have current players now who looked promising their freshmen year, and haven't played up to expectations since. So there are no guarantees. But we have to give credit to the kid. He came in and put in the time and work, and it's paying off. Hopefully it goes up from here,

Pool Falling GIF
 
Doesn’t have 5 star measurables but he’s got a 5 star game

His first practice he had an INT and never stopped

It will happen more frequently during games for sure the kid just knows how to play the game
