Amazing how one extra star alone will prevent a total sh**storm of a reaction to the offer on here. Now the moaners will begrudgingly accept it while still comparing the kid to someone local disirregardlessly.

Oh, don't say that out loud or else you'll be a "nut swinger" or a "nut hugger". Whatever tf that means. Hopefully we can get read an interview with this kid

Haha, I've noticed that. Seems like some people around here have an infatuation with all things nuts. When (if) we don't land the kid then the natural progression will also be to point to some local kid we "should have" offered while insinuating that precious time was wasted in out of state lands of garbage quality football chasing kids we had no shot at to begin with. This kid will somehow transform from a questionable offer to one we had no chance with in the myriad of nonsensical critiques of this staff's recruiting efforts.

Yeah, an interview would be nice.

Which could literally be one spot of difference in a ranking system
 
Came here to read the reaction to the offer, see what people think about the kid, his fit here, competition, playing style, level of interest, etc. Instead I get folks complaining in advance about the complaining comments they suspect will be posted. Thanks, Randy.
 
**** I love the play at the 00:50 mark. definitely want this kid. Keep that Jersey pipeline strong!
 
Probably have to redshirt because of weight but kid reads & react very well.

All this. You can tell he's light in the ***, but he's always around the ball. Doesn't have that pop/explosion, but that should come from a college S&C program. Not overly athletic, but he's good enough as to where he shouldn't be a liability in coverage. Solid player with a good base. He could be a really solid prospect with the right coaching and development.

He's almost like a less athletic Jermaine Grace, from watching his film he doesn't have elite explosion but seems really smart and just gets around the ball but unless he gets bigger (which I think he will) he'll get run over. Nice prospect and somebody to really stay on

Dude is a straight baller. He seems to play with a certain maturity/excellent instincts and he is very athletic.

What's even more impressive is that these are his junior year highlights.

The only knock I really have is that his competition is a bit suspect, but he's the kind of player that would be good anywhere.

If he's a legit 6'2/6'3...size is not an issue. Dude has plenty of time to mature to get bigger and faster.
