Njoku, Herndon and now this cat.
How many does one roster need?
I thought Herndon was the best player on that Georgia team that played BTW. It was not that 5-star DE who did nothing. Herndon is talented.
Just plain stupid to say that this kid and Njoku are similar. Njoku is an elite HS high jumper with under 4.5 speed. He can be a true WR.
I still don't understand the message board obsession with Njoku at TE, just because he's a big kid. I suspect that this kid will be a possession WR at most and more likely will end up a hybrid or H-back given his current lack of elite speed. And like somebody else said, I'm not sure what 40 times really mean, especially in HS. I don't know that much about 40 times, but a number of people have posted over the years that one has to learn how to run the 40. Who knows, he might get down to 4.6 with better technique and training. Heck, we had WR's who could do no better than 4.6. Mike Irvin was in that range, although I realize the game is getting faster.
It might be a head-scratcher, just like Emonee Spence. I have to defer to the coaches who I'm sure have thoroughly analyzed film and discussed the offers in depth. There have got to be a number of heads involved in these decisions, including Coley, Golden, Carroll, etc. I don't think they're just throwing out offers to anyone.
Of course, if we just defer to the coaches, and have no opinions, there is nothing really to discuss here. So, keep it up. I look at videos and sometimes kid jump out at me, sometimes they don't. Generally, highlights always look good. So, ultimately, I think the coaches know what they're doing. (Except maybe for D'Onofrio, since I know that everybody here knows more about defense than he does.)
