I know this is going to come off as sour grapes, but I'm watching Wilson's tape for the first time, and I'm just not that impressed.
He looks stiff. Doesn't change direction with much fluidity. In most of these clips, he's play 10+ yards off the line of scrimmage, or blitzing off the corner. I don't see top-tier coverage instincts or closing speed.
Maybe he's a great player and the highlights don't do him justice, but I don't think he's a big miss. Just doesn't look like a twitchy athlete to me. If he's dead-set on playing CB, he looks like a guy who's gonna have to be a mauler at the LOS.
He doesn't even look like a top-tier safety prospect to me, either. Jamal Carter's film is far more impressive than this.
I don't necessarily disagree.
My problem with missing on Wilson is that we take a lot of high-floor guys, or "coal-shovelers" to steal a Golden term. Wilson provides that along with good physical traits and an influence over top players at University and the SF High School Express. The collateral damage outweighs the risk IMO.
staff misjudged the effect again.
Had they even "recruited" Wilson.....we would be in much better shape for the main coupe which surprisingly is Ermon Lane the best wr in S.FLA.
Add to it...Wilson has been sh*ttin on um to any and everybody on sfe. That spouts down to the jr's in next yrs class.
I dont know what they see....but i definately take a Wilson over Mayes on most days.....They were all in on Lammons..till they realized that ship was sailing...I think Lammons lives with Kevin Beard...who is also one of Quincy Wilson's coaches over @ U School.
No way around it....we lost 3 good to great prospects to a bum school in gainesville.
1. that we were recruiting personally since he was a soph (No Frio on Lammons)
2. A legacy we seem to have no interest in..but plays a position of need of atleast one recruit this class (Safety-Quincy Wilson)
3. The best wr in S.FLA....who is related to a current coach.
Just on perspective it looks bad....but just mad the main coupe in Lane got away...because contrary to belief i still cant pencil in Johnnie Dixon to the canes no matter what i see in articles.
