I guess when he said, "If you're gonna miss, miss fast." he wasn't lying.

Plays in the same division as 5-star RB Rueben Owens. Fun highlight tape, trying to figure out why he doesn’t have much of an offer list. Lots of clips of him at WR, maybe a case of him looking better as a RB once he finally got reps there?

Bay city is terrible here in texas lol..

This has literally always been Rhules recruiting strategy though. 

At this point, I am going to trust Rhule's track record of developing these types of guys, and not worry about the lack of development which didn't occur under Frost.

To give some comparison, Trey Palmer got behind everyone.  His 100M time was reported at 10.42.   Brice's time is 10.25.

I don't care if it's hurricane wind-aided, that's still some serious speed. 

 

You could tap a jet engine to my back and I'm still over 12 in the 100M.

Yeah, I am thinking more of guys like Andre Hunt, Jaron Woodyard, Mike Willliams, Jamie Nance, William Nixon, Marcus Flemming - Guys who were reported to have all world speed but needed work on Football skills, but never once saw any meaningful playing time. 

I too was disappointed that none worked out though Hunt was in line to start (if I remember correctly) before his legal issues. 

 

After Palmer's breakout this year, I'm excited to see what Turner can do with some development here. Appears to be a pretty humble kid and that kind of speed is hard to ignore.

According to his coach, he's 6-2 180.  That's up quite a ways from what was originally shown but considering he has been pretty under-the-radar from a football standpoint, it's plausible that the listed numbers were outdated.

 

Apparently we also inquired about him playing defense.  His coach said he's probably most comfortable playing receiver but defense would be a possibility.

 

Apparently the Husker track coaches pointed him out to the new football staff and it went quickly from there.

If I'm his coach we are just working on two routes.  A go and post corner.

Those guys were pretty short, correct? This guy is supposed to be 6 2. So that is at least one difference, unless his height is exaggerated. 

[Mavric]

FWIW, his Twitter bio also says 6-2.  So he's likely pretty close to that.

 

Google says Carl Lewis is 6-2:

When he got Hurd from Tenny that guy was listed as 6'5

His film is Palmer-esqe. Lots of big play TD’s. 30 yards is a short gain.

Exactly Rhule has shown he can develop these guys, I can't really even point to one guy Frost and staff developed.
