What? John Henderson was 6'7 265-270 lbs by the time he was a junior/senior in high school.

I thought you were referring to his height. The kid will def get bigger in our weight program and with our training table. Do you honestly think a junior in high school is going to stay the same size?

I'm going to have to agree with Rexvol on this one. He's JR in HS. He has a year and a half left of his HS weight program. He still has plenty of time to continue maturing. I could see him being a DT in college. He's only going to get bigger.

Gainesville? I think he plays at East Hall. They won their first game in two years last Friday... Very, very poorly coached team. If we get him he will be raw.

EDIT: I tell you what though, 7AAA sure is getting its share of D1 talent these days. Most we've seen come out of Gainesville in years. In fact, one poll had region 7 as the toughest in AAA ball. Few notables... Connor Shaw, AJ Johnson, Sterling, West Hall has Shunquez Stephens who's a great talent on a horrible team, Blake Sims, Daunte Carr, Tai'lor Jones, Flowery Branch has that rb Cross who should be good in a few years, Daniel Blitch from NHHS, etc. I'm sure I'm leaving some ppl off, but it's definitely a region to watch in upcoming years.

Of course he'll get bigger.

What in the world makes you think he'll be a DT though?

The Hardy at Ole Miss who is a DE was in that 6'5 235 range coming out of HS and Orgeron didn't move him.

The majority of DE's who were in the 6'5 235 range coming out of HS to Tennessee ended up staying at DE.

I dont think anything one way or the other. But if the kid is 235 as a jr I highly doubt he will be 235 when he graduates.

It's called a SSDE. It's more about speed and leverage as to whether or not he would be moved from DE to DT once he gets to college. It wouldn't hurt to have a big DE if the kid has good speed and acceleration off the edge, you know.

7-AAA shoutout, I like it.

"My favorites right now are Tennessee, South Carolina and Alabama," Bailey said. "I am liking Alabama a lot right now. I like how they treat their players. I like their defensive scheme. It's amazing how they use their defensive linemen.

"I like the coach's attitude at Tennessee. I like how they came in and showed Tennessee can compete with Florida and Alabama."

Lol, i'm sure we can all guess what, "I love the way Alabama treats their players" means.

"My top three right now is Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia Tech."

So do the Georgia Bulldogs even have a chance?

"If they offered me, I'll show interest in them, but I don't know if that would make them in my top three."

Per Rivals...

Wonder what happened to Bama?

He just took an unofficial to Bama in that previous article and really liked it, but they haven't offered. I think he's had some time to think about it now and has dropped Bama from his top 3 since they haven't offered...
