'16 GA ATH Kyle Davis

[426hemivol]

doesn't Kyle check all the boxes?
-he can block his ass off
-can catch
-athletic for somebody who's built like a linebacker
-complete badass

Let him eat, hit the weights and become a Tight End? We need somebody like that! :rock:

Speed. Hardman has elite long range speed and short range quickness. He's a Christian Kirk type prospect.

I'm big on physical measurables. Like I said, if the receiver is 6'2" or below, I need him to run 4.4.

so you would not have taken Joey Kent, Corey Fleming, Jayson Swain, etc.

Never said I wouldn't take Kyle Davis. I simply said he was lower on my list. Of the guys still uncommitted, here is my wish list:

1. Mecole Hardman
2. Derrick Brown
3. Nigel Warrior
4. Velus Jones
5. Kyle Davis

I'll gladly accept Kyle. I just think those other guys are more critical to our success next year.

RB, imo. Next Hurd.

Now you're talking

 

[seaofORANGE22]

After watching last nights game. I wonder if De'Runnya Wilson would be a good comparison. That man is a monster.

 

[butchna]

You're making it a black or white issue though, and it's just not. WAAAY too many examples that blow your rigid 6-2/4.4 rule of thumb out of the water.

And as for Davis and Hardman, why does it have to be either/or? Why can't we just take both if we're so lucky?

Cuz then? He just wasted? A post? :unsure:

Black and white? He's being racist imo

We already figured that out Jimmy! We're trying to muddle through his mess when it's black on black. :blink:

Oh wow I completely misread it. I am indeed a Jimmy. Coincidentally my jimmies are also rustled. I'll see myself out.

Wilson is 6'5". KD is 6'2". Not a good comparison.

Ahh good point. Didn't realize Wilson was that tall. That's Calvin Johnson big.

I don't mind Dez big if that's how Davis more closely compares.

Then you wouldn't have given Pharoh Cooper a 2nd glance, considering he was listed at 5-11, 190 with a 4.66 40 time coming out of high school.

 

[InVOLuntary]

How do you think KD compares to Da'Rick?

Bump for OV.

Yea, that guy Cooper.. Short, slow and he just suxxx...

Yeah obviously that Cooper guy didnt check all the boxes

Sometimes folks need to not be blinded by stars. Every 5 star that shows interest in us aint destined for greatness.

Just saying.

Like Bryce Brown, even though he did make it to the NFL

I hate these kind of isolated examples...as if the majority of kids coming out of HS with chitty measureables are stars in the making. For every Pharoah Cooper, there are hundreds of busts. But don't let that stop you from peddling such nonsense.

Busts? Few 3 stars can be considered busts for SEC schools. There not highly regarded enough to be a bust in a big time conference.

Just because many 3 stars don't become superstars doesn't change the fact that there are a LOT of them that become great players. Ideally, a top tier school will have a staff that can find kids like Cooper flying under the radar and take them over 4 star kids with off the field or attitude deficiencies.

Admittedly, that is easier said than done. There are a LOT of HS football players and even some greats like Aaron Rodgers were overlooked coming out of high school. Some kids are simply late bloomers or play against such bad competition it's hard to tell how good they really are. Some kids play 3/4 sports and don't get a chance to focus on football only until college.


It can be difficult to find the 3* kids like Cooper, but there are a lot of them out there.

You sound just like Derek Dooley, as that seemed to be his perspective on recruiting. Load up on 3*s because one or two might pan out.

You should work on your reading comprehension.


All I said is that a good staff should be able to find the 3 stars like Pharoah Cooper.


To win championships, you need the 5 stars as well.

You should take remedial reading lessons, yourself....cause the post I quoted was making the case that a 3* WHO IS SHORT AND HAD A SLOW 40 TIME would not be a legit concern in SEC recruiting.

I hate all of you

Patterson has done ok at TCU with that concept...maybe Dooley wasn't GOOD AT IT? (Or anything?) :dunno:

How in the world did we give the keys to Vol kingdom to this guy? It's clear now his smugness and wit were just products of his insecurity.
