Trevino Riggins

Obviously that is a very small sample size to go off of but he looked twitched up and had **** good speed and burst to finish there. In a 1 gap system that we run that type of skillset is valued. Here's to the kid having a great Sr. season.

Coach Stroud played his HS ball at Lakewood, as long as Riggins was fully healthy no way we were dropping him.

Not suggesting he should be dropped. But, i pray to god that would not be the reason they keep a kid they don’t think was UM quality. We’ll be mediocre forever with that mentality

If they didn't think he was Miami quality they would've dropped him already.

The point was, if he's fully healthy then they believe he's good enough & the fact Coach Stroud is a Lakewood alum means he has close ties with their staff & has more insight on him than anyone on the board does.

Question. What were your thoughts on nkosi coming out of high school?

I think his WR coach must've been really good. His receivers made it easy for him. I felt he always looked for the deep pass and the teams he played against had a hard time punishing him for sitting in the pocket for too long. He would just dance around and knew exactly where his check down was. He trusted Justin Watkins a lot and It paid off big time. He made plays with his legs but hes not even a burner. Ultimately I think the competition he played didnt challenge him much. So manny lob's to a few WRs he trusted and they didnt disappoint. Even then, just like the FSU game, he made some throws into coverage that worked because of great ball placement. Coming in, I thought he would be better than Rosier and Jake Allison.

Because clearly you recognize for the few highlights nkosi had they ALL came against inferior competition. It's not a case of they didnt push him,its athletically they were flat out inferior. Trevon has played against big competition. At the least held his own. The kid has the necessary tools to be very good. Dont be so quick to dismiss him brother. If so he'll certainly surprise you.

I think of Tre'von in the same light of Robert Burns. I think they're both great players that's being disrespected because of the lack of playing time or focus. My comment earlier in the thread was solely in response to the highlight/tweet that was posted. To put more context to my post, for someone his size, especially coming off injury, his speed and tracking is really good. My main point was that against this team in particular, he doesn't have to use any real technique to get pass the OL. With his speed, burst, and size advantage, he already has the OL beat just by bull rushing.

I'm high on Robert Burns based on his HS highlights. Hope he stays healthy and makes it big.
