I can see that comp. I think he's more athletic than Spraggins, though, and will be better in pass pro.

Antoni is a lot longer and more athletic than Spraggins like you said. Spraggins is only 6'3

Call me a homer but this kid is gonna end up better than Utu.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This kid is a hoss. Good size for an SEC guard hopefully he develops.

Great, another “new to football” kid. Hopefully Oline is different because the other positions rarely work out

How early do you expect these kids to start playing football so they aren’t “new to football”?

I don’t know but I can’t recall one making it that had only 1-2 years experience

We’ve recruited a handful. Haven’t paid attention throughout CFB

I’ve heard more than a few high school coaches say playing before your body matures is of no value and they don’t care if any football was played before HS. TIFWIW

I’m not saying he won’t work out. He has the size and athleticism. I’m just saying from the anecdotal evidence from our inexperienced recruits, it hasn’t seemed to work out.

Don’t you recall?

Football should be placed in the crib. Bump teddy bears.

IMO, The mom should be watching football regularly by the first trimester and the kid should start carrying a football everyday in preschool to practice not fumbling.

I just hopped in here to say that I think this dude is gonna be a beast. I think he has NFL upside but it might take a year to see it. This dude will be one of the top gets of the class.

I think Dye, Smith, Campbell, and this kid. When it is all said and done.

If he played 4 years of hs football then I don’t consider him “inexperienced”. JMO

 

[volKano]

He has played 3 years and I doubt we see him much until his redshirt sophomore year.

You are expressing doubts about a player with three years of experience by saying that players with one or two years haven't worked out well. You might be feeling it, but your concern about this player seems unreal to me.

You have to evaluate situations based on those circumstances. There are NFL TE's that didn't play football until college. I think there was even one example that didn't play in college at all. The 'why' behind them not playing. And how fast did they develop in high school. Basketball players with the size and athleticism that played post in basketball tend to translate well.

I actually thought it was 2 years. Didn’t realize he played his Soph year. My reading was not fundamental
