[QUOTE="Tyler865, post: 19814434, member: 17095"]A UCF player for sure.

A fine project but can't expect to win anything in the SEC with a class full of these guys.[/QUOTE]
Good , an upgrade from what we’ve had.
Because I’m pretty sure the last 3-4 years UCF would of beaten us like a drum.

Seriously, he is definitely a project. I will be interested to see what the staff can do.

There’s nothing wrong with questioning taking a commitment from an undersized, unranked, raw kid who has a very mediocre offer list.

I mean - if you want to be a blind homer then so be it.

I am all aboard the Heup train and I think the staff is proven developers. But they haven’t earned a ‘carpe Blanche without being questioned’ status.

I’ve liked every commitment we’ve had thus far - but this one appears questionable.

Question away if it helps you. But is it because you've never heard of him before today, the recruiting service hasn't stamped him yet, or, because Elarbee and Heup don't know how to evaluate talent? They seemed pretty good at it at Mizzou when they took 3* nobodies and put 50 on us.

Pruitt was in the complete other camp, which most recent research says is very wrong. It's just that Pruitt was used to seeing similar sized guys that were also 5* FREAKS at Bama, very much just anomalies of dudes.

Recent research I've seen (pretty dang exhaustive research out there) suggests you want ol recruits that:
- need to gain good weight once on campus, not OL that need to cut bad weight.
- played multiple sports. It's unlikely 350 lb high schoolers will be able to do anything but football and specialization is detrimental.

Those HUGE OL also tend to be a bit harder to gauge/overvalued, because they simply dominate their HS out of sheer size, not necessarily skill, footwork, etc.

Ramon Foster said this exact thing. Says you want to put good weight on them, not shed bad weight and a bad habits.

You are one of the many that get on here and "wash the feet" of each new coaching staffs ability to recruit and evaluate talent. Then at the end of each staffs tenor here 'they couldn't evaluate talent.'

Come on dude everyone has an opinion. Everyone is wrong all the time just read it and move on if you don't like it. You say the same thing everytime someone questions a recruit.

All I’m saying is Butch Jones loved getting OTs that had to gain 40-50lbs to play in the SEC. Almost none of them panned out.

Pruitt came and we started signing SEC sized OTs and we all rejoiced about how signing guys who had to transform their bodies was over.

So you’ll have to excuse me if I’ve got reservations about this. I don’t know his weight other than what is listed on 247. It sounds like he’s light AND raw. Definitely a project.

I’m all about trusting Heupel and I think we have a top of the light OL coach. But I can’t blind homer boom all considered.

CBJ only recruited two undersized tackles in 5 years that I remember - Tatum and Niehaus.

I love this point. People acting like we can just go straight to competing with AL and GA for recruits. Even if we have the money, we have a lot to prove first. I am going to enjoy the ride with the ones that want to be here with us through this.
