Michael Jackson the forgotten CB

[brock]

Not saying he isn't a good player or anything, but I'm skeptical when OOS guys like this don't get offered by the powerhouse in-state programs (in this case Bama and Auburn). Last cycle, the state of Alabama had 13 four or five-star prospects, and 10 of them went to Bama or Auburn.

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it's a slight concern, especially when we're talking about Golden's evaluations.

Jackson definitely passes the eye test. He's huge.

He also had some good moments in camp. Pretty instinctive player. Spring will be big for him. We need corners and safeties so hopefully he can help us wherever he ends up.

You think gayot plays in the spring? If he does should he move back to safety? So we can have a top 4 of Jenkins, Carter, Jaquan, gayot?

Yes they did

 

[CanesAreAble]

Yes they did

Rivals says no.

247 says yes.


Either way, my point was about the in-state schools. He didn't have great national offers, either. I don't really care about offer lists, but I was kinda "meh" on his tape, and Golden's evals were spotty.

When u went down to the Clemson gm and the DBs were warming up i wqs close to him. He was huge. I was like man i hope he turns into a player for us.

shouldn't kid be listed redshirt fr. i don't remember ever seeing him play. so they should be able to redshirt h im. if he is to slow for cb could work in at safety at that size.

kid doesn't get mentioned cause still have corn elder, sheldrick redwine played over him this year and have some solid cb prospects in this class. im pretty sure he will figure in somewhere even if its a move to safety.

He played in the bowl game

He played every game

Is he a waiter in his downtime? Otherwise, probably nothing this season.

Ideally he steps in to the ST role guys like Redwine and Jackson covered this past season. If he can do that, its a win.

Goldens evaluations weren't too far off. Despite his game day prep/coaching.

Njoku is and was a beast.

golden ruined alot of kids once they got here. his s & c and coaching philosophies were horrific.

 

[razrcane]

I will start off by saying I did not watch him play in high school and was highly skeptical of him getting an offer, but Spain Park is well coached team and he does have the physical attributes that one looks for in a db. He probably will be a "late bloomer" if given the right coaching. If not then I wouldn't be surprised if he transferred in a year.

 

[nycane]

golden claimed he didnt get a bama or auburn offer because they knew they couldnt keep him away from florida. he is such a serial liar tho, u have no idea what the truth is.

so this cat had an offer from Richt last year too? doesn't seem like he's one of golden's evaluations like some people believed. I think he'll play a big role this year stepping in with the loss of Artie

 

[Canejam]

He also had offers from LSU and Georgia:
