Good thing plan B is an almost certain lock in another dynamic player, Henry. I'm not counting us out on Washington yet though.

Is Henry still a lock? I don’t see it as so.

I agree with OSU, there are other positions he would be a better fit at.

We have Bell signed, along with Jones who I think the staff is taking as a RB type more than prototypical WR. Obviously he will catch a lot of passes still. If you look at it that way it makes more sense why they are still after more WR's.  Attrition TBD of course.

He doesn't translate well as a running back into college. He has good size but nothing exceptional. He doesn't get skinny in the hole and his pad level is bad. On top of that, he lacks a burst and isn't shifty. He is a good looking football player who looks suitable for DB or Wr but not as a RB. He doesn't appear to have great vision either and he displays a lot of wasted movement. I've seen these types before and I don't think he translates well. Ill tell you this, I don't believe the staff is sold on him being a RB either. They see a good football player who could play a number of different positions.

Makes sense to me. I think they have 2 RB types committed already and are looking for more WR/DB types still.  Thanks for sharing your analysis.

Good point. Maybe he realizes already

Supposedly if he can qualify to Ohio state they’ll make room for him. He’s been quoted multiple times that if he could commit to osu he would.

tOSU has been money in Texas, so it is easy to see why this pipeline is continuing.

I dont see him as a CB. Just watching his running style his hips dont seem loose enough for me.

It doesn't matter anyways I don't think. He just had a string of CB's to Arizona State. Including Wiltfong and Allen Treiu

I'll never blame anyone for choosing ASU...

Damn, he must be desperate to play for the Buckeyes...

 

I think it is his dream school.  I believe he camped there in the summer and had that misunderstoood/inaccurate commitment to them in August.
