SIGNED S Henry Gray

I can't recall NU ever pulling a player out of Miami Central.  I can't recall even garnering the attention of a Central player in the past.

While we only have 11 commits, keeping our overall team ranking low, our average is only behind Ohio State and Michigan in the B1G.  According to 247.  I'm liking the slow process here.  Feels like they're taking their time and getting exactly who they want.  

I think the slow process is very calculated.  The best recruiting tool they have is game day.  They know that and they are going to use it and hopefully it works.

What a great pick up,  I cant wait to see him play.  Help build a future No Fly Zone in the back field. 

We should call it the #BlackFlagZone

After seeing his offer list, 'Bama, Clemson, OSU, Mich etc. etc., it is beyond belief some of the recruiting services only have him as a 3*. Guess they know better than Saban, Swinney & the rest of the elite coaches that offered him.

I was cruising some message boards and one thing I picked up from various teams that were recruiting Gray was that he is kind of a head case.   Miami fans absolutely hate him, FSU fans don't really care and Florida fans were 50-50 on him.  The one thing they all agreed on was he is to slow to play CB (ran a 4.8 at a combine) and Florida actually wanted him at safety but he said no.

Gray ran a 4.85 at the Army National Combine this January. I wouldn't read too much into that number however as it's mostly the result of his terrible 10 yard time (1.81). Almost everybody has a poor showing at this combine because it's one of the few that actually provide an accurate time. At The Opening, he ran a 4.66 because he's not a super fast guy but he's far from slow.

This is what I saw too. Also, I'd imagine a college strength program could boost his speed some. Also, Fisher likes guys that can cross train as Safety/CBs which he seems to fit.

 

As far as being a head case, I saw that his family liked NU because it got him out of Florida. Guessing there might be some people he needs to get away from there and NU offers that.

The 10 yard time is actually one of the easiest things you can improve in the 40. Improving explosion, technique, etc. Strength and conditioning will also help a ton. The thing you can't teach is top end speed. Not worried at all about this kid.

Another great addition to the team, can't wait to see him on the field.

Seems like he may be a big peer recruiter he's super active on Twitter with other recruits!
