I'd say he's just as talented generally speaking in regards to Pride but with a much different stature. he in "rangy" and has long arms/legs. Kind of lanky but not gangly, seems strong. His tape looks elite, for sure. As does Pride's.

I don't know this as fact but the odds are Adebo does not have the same straight line speed as Pride. Pride has a few state championship trophies that back up my thinking.

Rivals article said he ran a 10.83 in the 100. not bad

21.46 in the 200, 49.74 in the 400 and 41' 5" in the triple jump according to his track profile

Not sure what Pride ran, but there was this time as well:

“He can run. He ran a 21.4 in the Open 200 this year and he was on both relay teams that get second and third in the state. He’s long. He’s got really long arms. He’s explosive. He’s really good at reacting to the ball. He’s got great ball skills when the ball is in the air. For a DB or a receiver, he’s got all of the skills that are needed to be exceptional at both positions.”

Yes! 4 star corner from Texas! I love it!

Agree, this guy comes from a power school that plays at the highest level of Texas HS football. Team routinely supplies D1 schools with loads of talent.
Kudos to the recruiting coaches who made this possible, and congrats to Saiid.

Nice pickup, good luck to him.

I think the "40 year decision" is starting to resonate with more higher ranked players who value education more often these days. They're starting to figure out that the NFL stands for "Not For Long" for the most part and recent revelations about long term medical issues may play into that.

Awesome pick up, he reminds me a lot of Alex Carter or a bigger Nick Coleman. Texas and all the Texas school's really wanted this kid. Texas 24 7 mods rave about him

His times from the SC state meet were:

100M - 10.55

200M - 21.28

400M - 48.28.

Adebo's times were closer than I thought. I'm lost in the sauce!

ESPN is a morally upstanding company that never would sacrifice the integrity of a sport for their own gain

Though their reasoning for moving him up may be questionable, I think ESPN has a much more accurate ranking of him then Rivals.

I know the staff is very very high on him as well.

Gotta like having multiple 10.7 or better guys on the back end.

Another kid it seems the staff identified early. FWIW, Texas 247 guys have been saying that they are still going hard after him. They think he'll eventually visit. No quotes from him.

Has blown up the past few months and there's been talk of him visiting Texas. Good on Loy to talk to Saiid and put that rumor to rest.
