2024 Romanas OJ Frederique, Jr. CB from STA via Deerfield

[lindend]

Was at Deerfield, transferred to STA. Picked up offers from Miami and FSU today. Unranked on 247, not likely going to stay that way for long.







@Coach Macho loves the potential of this recruit

​

This was one of my babies at Deerfield. Love this kid. My DB coach at Deerfield is a guru and has developed some great CB's, and he was crazy about OJ as an underclassmen. He said he'd be elite if he grew, and here we are.​

​

Ecstatic for this kid.​

Another name that blew everyone away at camp? Recent West Virginia commit Romanas Frederique. He is a CB/WR/PR with length who recently transferred to St. Thomas Aquinas from Deerfield Beach. Big-time upside at corner and Miami is very interested.​

 

[Coach Macho]

Years ago at Deerfield, my DB coach (who's one of the best in the game IMO) was very excited about 2 slim jitterbugs that were young backups.
He said they'd both be elite.

Romanas Frederique

Welp...




Couldn't happen to better kids, too. Both are amazing young men.
I hope we can get OJ. (Frederique)

If I’m understanding correctly you’re saying his size/physicality is what was holding him back on being a bigger recruit? Looks long (pause) sometimes those kids take a while to fill out

Think they just needed more time, they were probably really young in program (freshman/soph)..

Well he was only a 9th/10th grader at the time.
OJ was like 5'8"-5'9".

Which hey I mean that’s just how it goes. We know how it is where some kids get locked in to these high rankings and they just kinda stick there for a while because noone really has time to evaluate them all

I don’t want to overplay it but I like what I’m seeing so far with some of these lower ranked kids we’ve been after the last couple years

Here's his WVU commitment tweet

@DMoney from the 6/20 Bank (Video version)

• Projects as a CB
• Versatility like Barney
• Lanky
• True corner w/length
• Likes to get hands on WR
• Great game against Hykeem
• Really showed out at camp
• May emerge as a target
• WVU commit, Miami won't stop recruiting because he's committed, will pursue best SFL athletes and will try to flip
• Discussion of how Mario's approach with camp offers differs from Golden. Very selective but once they decide, they priortize as opposed to Golden offering too many camp players

Macho, for Lucas, why no (apparent) interest from Miami?

Looks like he'll be OVing this weekend per 247.

Here's his WVU commitment tweet

So he was subliminally asking for a Miami offer with his commitment edit??

 

[skeeter]

Mack, Frederique, Howard, Knight

Looks like the local DB (besides Patterson) that may have a chance to be in this class. I think we take 1 of those (In addition to ZP)…Maybe a chance for 2 if can't flip Hayward?

I played pick up with him a month or two ago. Athleticism was there. But coordination was not…..
