Is it just me or does this guy look slow? Doesn't look like he gets off the ball very quick or to the quarterback.



He doesn’t look particularly fast - but I don’t think speed is why you’re taking this kid. He’s already 6’4ish and 240 pounds and plays strong as hell. Looks to play fairly smart too - saw more than a few plays where he stood the OL, waited for the RB to pick a lane, and then tossed a double-team aside to make a TFL.

Appeared to make quite a few plays chasing down the ball carrier from the backside - so he’s not loafing anytime the play goes to the other side.

I like this kid quite a bit.

Does he look like a NT then because that's basically it for DL without quick twitch.

Noticed we haven't offered 5 of the top 11 in-state for this class ( Mickens, Wright, EJ Smith, Drew Sanders, Lorando Johnson ).  Of course, these rankings will change a bunch in the next year.

Props to the staff to the staff for jumping on the right-after-the-season visits. It's not hard to see that it was the move after last year, but we can't assume anything after the Strong era.

According to E.J., we're "in the driver's seat" for this kid right now. Wiltfong has him headed to A&M for whatever reason but he's the only one.

Wiltfong crystal balled him to aggy after the Clemson moral victory.  We offered him the next week vs. USC and I don't know if he's even visited aggy since then.

I hope Collins does a camp so we can get accurate measurables on him and see how he looks.  

It's obvious the staff has Collins, Umanmielen, Broughton, and Dorbah at the top of the board for the DL haul.

Fong threw out so many CBs after that moral victory

Dwight McGlothern, Troy Omeire, Chris Thompson Jr., James Sylvester, Devin Price, Alfred Collins, Malik Hornsby, Jaylon Jones

Lawrence is going to do dirty things to the aggy secondary next year

Between Collins being a legacy and Umanmielen playing for Manor, we have some nice early inbuilt advantages with instate DL...

Wiltfong actually has Jaylon Jones crystal balled to Texas.

That's not exactly breaking news

Collins is as close to a slam dunk as we can get. If Giles can’t close him, he doesn’t need to be fired, he needs to be prosecuted. Anyone cb’ing him anywhere but Texas has their head firmly up their asshole. 

Separately, Collins is going to be a top 30 player in the country when the ratings are revealed/refreshed in the new cycle.

I think both Collins and Broughton look like 5* top 30 types; Broughton might actually be a top 10 type, and I could see him ending up being the top prospect in the state. Dorbah looks like a top 100 type. Princely looks like a top 250 type. While Collins should be in the bag, it'll be interesting to see how we do with the other three, which all appear to be winnable recruitments. The top recruiters on staff, including Washington, Herman, and Carrington, should all be included in these recruitments with Giles from the get go. 

The kid from Arizona is interesting, he looks like a Charles O plus starter kit.

I'd take all five, but I'd also try to take close to 25 in the class.

Is there data on the timing of a commitment affecting player rankings? Always seems to me like the longer a kid waits to commit, the higher his ranking ends up being.

If a kid like T'Vondre Sweat had flirted with Wiltfong's favourite school a bit more, for example, he might have been graded more accurately as a four-star.

They can have Mcglothern. Dude is always begging for teams to recruit him harder. He's the ultimate diva.
