Would leave quite a hole in this class if he isn't a part of it.

Absolutely. The one true pass rusher we'd finally have our hands on.

Between that and a stud OT, we just can't find much luck. Hopefully that starts changing on Wednesday.

In only having two months, this staff has exceeded expectations.

I won't be surprised if JJB commits this weekend to A&M. He seems to be looking for a reason to pick another school.

Amen to the bolded. Think about it, 2 months and this staff put together a top 25 class...

Like Bell.

Just read staff cancelled Baldonado visit, so JJB might be AllN?

I think Tago commits so he will get his shot at QB but would be a nice OLB if it doesnt workout.  Still think JJB is in the air.  Especially with A & M this weekend.

Tago is really slow. Ran a 5.12 40. Not sure that translates well to OLB

No way in hell our S&C staff can train a 17 year old kid to get faster in a couple of years.  Not a chance.

s#!t why even recruit fast players when we can make anyone fast with some good old fashioned hard work

You can make a 5.12 a 4.9 while putting on good solid weight.  You can not make a 5.12 a 4.5

I have a serious question about your comment.

What expertise do you have regarding what you said?  Are you a trainer?  Do you train sprinters?  Are you in the medical field that tests what a 17 year old can do vs what they can do after 3 years of training?

I train sprinters.  Have coached 2 sprint relay teams that have broken school records in the 4x100 (42.6) and 4x200 1:28.2.  We have 100 sprinters out for our track team and if our football guys are not baseball guys they have to go run track.  It has been a great benefit for our football and track team.

We may need to have a side conversation about this so as not to derail this recruits profile because I find this interesting.
