‘23 VA ATH Cameron Seldon (Tennessee Commit)

Alright. I guess I don’t pick up on the holier-than-thou aspect of his posts. I am an idiot when it comes to football. Don’t care if anyone rubs it in. I think it’s cool that some people take time to explain concepts, it adds value to the forum mixed in with the inside jokes and off topic discussion. He’s said lots of times he used to be a scout, maybe he’s lying, maybe he was fired for being the worst scout in the world, but it would be nice to read his opinions and decide for myself without people hounding him for giving it.
I guess that's where the misunderstanding is. It's not the concepts or analysis per se that is the issue. It's being intentionally objectionable. Especially to family members of recruits on their threads. Making unnecessary hottakes that trigger arguments. And being condescending.
 
Let me add MORE context.
You're a coach. Your job is to win games.

You have to create opportunities for success. Especially offensively in the game of football.
Can, Jaylen Wright lineup at WR and consistently produce? No.
Can Ramel Keyton line up at tailback at run down hill for 100 rushing yards a game lol??
No... but Jaylen Wright can. And Ramel Keyton and consistently line and produce at WR.

Those are guys that can consistently do the things you need them to do for those positions.

Now ...

Cam Seldon CAN lineup at WR and consistently produce eventually.
Cam Seldon CAN run downhill for 100 yards a game.
Do you bench Wright or Keith, Sampson for him?
Do you bench Leacock, Webb for him???
I'll answer those with a 3rd question-
WHY WOULD YOU NEED OR WANT TO??

In Cam Seldon you have an extraordinary skillset that allows our offense to have an inherent advantage 100 percent of the time.
You DONT take away that advantage by keyholing and starting him at one position.
No...
HERE'S WHAT YOU DO AS A GOOD COACH.
You teach him all basics of each position, in addition you'll also draw up more specific plays for him. This way he can function in the base offense and have a predetermined scale of touches per game WITHOUT a defensive coordinator ever truly being able to ever stop him. Like UGA did against Hyatt...

In other words defenses will line up thinking they can play deep but the Seldon lines up in the slot and kills you over the middle.
The defense loads the box to stop Keith on 3rd and one but WAIT! Look whos out there at HB blocking for Keith?? Seldon?? Wait he's going in motion to out wide. Safety follows him, Tennessee snaps the ball hand off to Keith ! (would have been successful) on no its a playfake! Seldon has a step on the safety! Nico throws it down the sideline!
CAUGHT!!! TO THE 20! TO THE 10!TO THE 5!
TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE!!

" Cam Seldon was in the backfield as a lead blocker, then went in motion and ran a go route and flew past the Bama safety Downs (5 star safety) for the 60 yard TD!"

"Wow Bob! How do you even defense something like that?? Seldon just uses his 4.3 speed to just outrun a future NFL safety. I mean geez. Look at them celebrating down there..."

You all can keep playing Legos (not even checkers). I'll keep teaching chess until you all catch on...or not🙄

You’re coming close to making a comparison without naming the player.

Your idea would work until the 3rd series. Teams will pick up on it and key on his movements.

I would say he is pretty spot on. We will use him like a Deebo. No reason not too. Opens up a lot and having a good TE makes Cam even more deadly.

Aww man I appreciate that so much. I definitely would love to see that as well
Having a guy like him that can play both positions gives us a personnel and schematic advantage that will allow us to go 5 wide while keeping our no substitution tempo. Can’t wait to see how he’s utilized. I imagine the orange and white game will be a sellout after the season we had. This fanbase will be chomping at the bits to see the EE guys on top of the emerging freshman from this past season
