who are these guys you refer to?Its called hyperbole. The point was, too many guys see someones size when they arrive on campus, want to bulk them up and move them before they even have a chance to practice at the position they were recruited at. It’s not like comparing a hoops kid to Jordan, because I wasn’t comparing JW to ST at all in terms of skill set or abilities. Purely based on size/weight when entering college and the weird obsession some fans have about switching positions solely based on those measurements.
the only people who decide on bulking a kid up are the kid and staff. those are also the only folks who decide where a kid will play.
fans just talk and speculate.
i don’t know if anyone speculates just off size / weight but it’s pretty obvious that JW is a size that is an outlier for safety and he’s a true frosh who will likely keep growing.
the reason this issue is sensitive, imo, isn’t because it’s a crazy discussion re JW but because it’s an obvious one, and people are just sensitive about it.
personally i’m not concerned with his future position roght now. i’m excited to see what he can do this year at S. but sean taylor isn’t evidence to me of anything about JW’s future spot.
