I read that as well. Kid needs to grow a bit more though IMO. Im sure he will, but right now has the build of a WR.

Welcome to the town Mr. Roberts.

 

[Irish Fam]

Any interest from him that we know of?

Well, Perkins hasn't had much contact because he just got his learners permit and his parents haven't gotten him a cell phone yet.

He is originally from Tampa, but has since moved to Carmel, Indiana because his father is the TE coach for the Indianapolis Colts.

Committed to UCLA

Committed to UCLA

UCLA now has five commitments, four of which are WRs and the 5th is a very soft verbal that probably will not end up there.

Anybody feel that the timing of this Indiana prospect's commitment to UCLA is funny, after he loses a head to head for Holmes? Is Mora trying to start something with ND? Or are these a series of unfortunate coincidences?

They've been the leader for Roberts for awhile. I believe someone posted on here (maybe SLU) that Roberts and Holmes were both 'takes' for Mora. I don't think he was a 'take' for us right now.

If ND never offered this kid a scholarship (I am assuming this is the case as ND is not listed above) how can you speculate that Mora is "trying to start something with ND"?

UCLA fans on their Scout forum think they got the highest rated recruit out of Indiana. Apparently they haven't heard of Justin Brent

Brent being underated because he plays for a small 2A school, I'm perfectly ok with that. They and everyone else will learn in two or three years.

Per Wiltfong ND actually offered a couple weeks back but he wasn't interested
