The staff will hold spots for Ringo, Kimber, and Ransom. Maybe Rogers.

 

Now that’s some confidence in our position with the ‘21 class

Yeah, thankfully we don’t rely on OL to play as freshman anymore. He’s got lots of time.

[Ghost of Shag 2614]

Ok what's the Surly consensus?  

Do we want Eaton or not?

He could be good. He could just have a lot of potential. I feel the same about him as I did Troy Omeire. Take him, but not as high on him as others.

I don't think he ends up at corner and I don't think that's a great thing for his prospects for playing time.

Low floor, high ceiling. We'll be excited and if he washes out, hopefully he does it quickly.

Can he play running back?

[Ricky's one-hitter 9117]

 

 

[Pato del Muerto 52525]

As an athlete flyer, no problem. But if he doesn’t have the aggression to be a db, his chances at wr seem slim. And where else could he play?

Nice Video

Cool. Hookem. 

With all the adidas, I thought maybe aggy. But I guess that’s for Fast and Ro. 

[Neonmoon 38129]

You take Eaton this year because next year is a bunch of nada in Texas 

[Hornlover 8830]

Welcome to the 40 acres, Eaton! 

[SydneyCarton 48110]

TFB has made some seriously cool videos.

I understand that you think you take them both but they are VERY different situations - even if the end result in your scenario is to take them both. Omeire has a very limited athletic ceiling. Eaton is all untapped potential. 

[Machinator 32099]

I appreciate that whenever TFB makes the videos, they are usually 1) high-quality and 2) posted on time.

[Hornlover 8830]

Also, it's nice to be in the position to question whether or not the 4 Star DB, listed at 6-2 175lb. should be a take or not. 

[Chili dog 1787]

Win over aggy. I’ll take it.

I'm not saying they're a 1-for-1 comparison. In terms of my feelings on taking them. They both have some upside and downside. That is all.

Omeire has no upside. WYSIWYG. 

That makes them completely different other than being 2 guys taking up a scholarship.

Great frame and room to improve. I think there could potentially be something there.

Agree to disagree.

[squeegeedegg 723]

Hopefully we can turn him into something resembling Eric Stokes with less speed

[XOVERX 5]

Where does Eaton put us in the calculator?

[Ricky's one-hitter 9117]

Still 6th, but gaining. Looks like we will finish with a top 5 class but probably right at 5 unless we flip Ransom and JSN along with landing our remaining priority targets.

Not getting us into top 5

It’s going to be hard to finish in the Top 5 this year without landing another 5 star. 

6-9 looks reasonable 

[Pato del Muerto 52525]

We’d have to go to 25 to have a real shot at top 5, barring a ringo level event in our favor.

Agree to disagree.

Is Omeire all of the sudden going to start posting sub 4.6 40's? If not, Omeire's upside is limited greatly, especially when he's got 4-5 guys that play his position in the last 3 Jimbo classes.

Well after BC has a meeting with Barton, and Gerry...I'm sure Collins will be a 5 star along with JSN who we flip before it's all said and done.  The floor is #3

So, apparently they are looking at him as a CB.

Oh, that’s going to get some sternly written posts about “class”

Very low floor, very high ceiling. As a CB3 take he’s fine because we don’t absolutely need him to pan out.  I hope the staff stays on Rogers and Ringo, though. If either wants to commit, it’s worth taking 4 CBs and/or letting Eaton figure out where he would fall in that pecking order and decide if he still wants in.

He’s a CB, all the way. No school is considering him as anything else.

He’ll either pan out at CB or transfer.

I would love to see a back alley fight between the Texas and aggy media. But then we would run the risk of Taylor Hamm thinking he was some kind of super hero and getting flattened. I see no downside here.
