'24 GA DL Nasir Smith (Georgia Southern)

[allvolrecruiting]

His HUDL doesn't really have much content but I will see him against a Walton OL featuring Daniel Calhoun so I'll share my thoughts then. Probably won't match up against Calhoun much if any but it's on a big platform (Corky Kell)

Still learning the game.

Great, another project to go with Perry

You're calling the kid a project before seeing him his senior year. Playing on the defensive line is very different than playing on the OL.

Every HS player is a project

We have plenty of those here.

It’s weird man. 3 weeks ago we were getting 2-3 5* on the DL…

December 15 is months away.

Lets let this NCAA Verdict today move us in the right direction. It's obviously still effecting our recruiting.

Came here to post this. Kid is 6'4-6'5, 290-295 going into his senior year of high school. He's got the physical attributes to play SEC DL and regardless of his experience level so far he's going to take time to be ready. So is Franklin and everyone else in this class...

Keep in mind this kid was apparrently first offered back in '22 probably even before Nwaneri and Franklin. This kid projects as a true DT, not an edge or SDE. So some of the bs calling him a fallback option is a bit misplaced imo.

For the record, Franklin was first to be offered out of the 3 in this group

Tennessee has started to become more serious here according to AP

The true question is can we make Nasir say Yessir?

When he was heavily pursued is more important than when he was offered. For example… Adarius Redmond was offered before Nathan Leacock last cycle.

Twenty VN bucks says this kid ends up a 4 star on at least two recruiting services.

 

[JCVol00]

The fact UGA and Florida offered him tells me all I need to know about his skill set

Heard as well. If he sticks to defensive line Garner will turn him into an animal

Don’t have any VN bucks…how about a buffalo nickel?

Will never doubt the staff’s ability to evaluate guys, they’ve been proven right (at least via recruiting sites) many times now.

Obviously sucks that Franklin seems to be trending away but getting big strong athletic kids for CRG to develop is always a plus. Come on home big fella

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

The ONLY thing im not sold on with this kid, is a quick and powerful first step. Can get bogged down and stands up. Technique can be taught. This kid is probably a contributor his sophomore year. If he early enrolls, the sky is the limit.

OL and DL are hard to evaluate in high school. Kids either dominate because they are just bigger, some dominate because of tenacity. Some dominate because they are fantastic athletes. Very few dominate with superior technique.
