'15 VA DE Darrell Taylor (UT Signee 2/4/15)

[AV_12]

Not from my experience. Usually when he hypes new players he is correct (Hurd, CP etc)

Yeah they are mostly right... They had lane as the next Reggie bush though after a few fall practices

 

[SmokeySC]

Seems like we went a decade without an elite pass rusher and now we have a roster full of them.

I know right ?

Had a feeling Taylor would be the steal of this class. Amazing athlete for his size.

 

[jspvol76]

kid is like 6'4 230lb already and runs 4.55. Hes a freak.

Sounds like our starting RB.

 

[LaagerVol]

Man I'm so pumped about the future of this team. We have studs lined up everywhere. Not just marginal "could be decent" players, straight up beasts.

His HS tape is hilarious. He looks like he is shot out of a gun every play.Those poor kids trying to block him had no chance.

How does a kid like him not end up as a 5*?

I can see the reasoning behind Barnett. He's not a physical specimen per se. But Taylor is a beast physically and on tape.

 

[85SugarVol]

Imagine Taylor in the S&C program for a year or two; should be able to add weight and keep that speed = Improved Freak. Things are headed in the right direction.

Dante Fowler

Dante Fowler

Yep or LL.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

leonard floyd/vic beasley kind of explosion.

He was 218-220 last year and an afterthought to preseason overall #1 Josh Sweat.

I don't remember that at all.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

This is huge coming from Hubbs. He is rarely openly this optimistic. The last player I can remember a statement like that from an athletic standpoint was CP. Not saying he will have that kind of impact

Exactly. This is Hubbs speaking, for the casual observer, this means;

He out sprints Bolt
Out lifts Ronnie Coleman
Out jumps Jordan

 

[AV_12]

I do

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I do

One VN poster was saying that, not any of the professionals.

No... It was VQ. Because they we're talking about him potentially returning punts and having "another gear" lol.. And everyone was getting excited. Irrelevant at this point, and I like them, but they have hyped plenty in the past...

 

[Biopsyman]

Maggitt 2.0

The thing that stood out to me most was how he never celebrates with his teammates.

[The Breakerboy]

They have always hyped up new players...


He Is more reserved with recruiting info

This....... I forgot that one dude he hyped up and I didn't see a thing like that when he hit the field.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Yeah they are mostly right... They had lane as the next Reggie bush though after a few fall practices

Yes!!!!! Then the VN poster was saying he looked Jamal Lewis special early on.....

Barnett shouldn't have been hard to see. He was an athletic TE on offense. Only thing to question was the competition level since he wasn't at any AA games. He was physically ahead in HS though.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Now with that being said this kid is the best pure athlete in this class....

 

[tn4elvis]

The thing that stood out to me most was how he never celebrates with his teammates.

SERIOUS ABOUT HIS LINE OF WORK.I like it.

 

[MikeDVol]

Very possible

Who was it saying that? I remember it being a very reputable guy. It may have even have been skeeter (and by no means am I calling skeeter out or questioning his credibility)
