Sweet logic

So any 6'0 WR recruit is next Jamarr Chase?

Said he can be a good return guy but he's never going to be a regular fixture

He's the kinda kid that goes to TCU or something and has a nice little career there and surprises you with a fancy run or return while their playing against Oklahoma in one of those 66-38 games

I just think he'd fare better at a school like that
I would kindly invite you to fuck off.

Kid should probably stick with KSU or similar B12 type where they blow coverages and turn guys loose

Can't envision being able to consistently deliver a pass to a guy this small

And I don't think I've ever seen a non-contested completion in Rees offense anyways. Designing little guys open isn't exactly one of his strengths

Too slim to play running back. Not even close to same build as Tyree

Could return punts I guess

Man, anyone else feel this site has been struggling lately? The intelligent posting and discussion of play/recruits seem to have devolved lately. I miss the days of quicker bans personally.
Only so much high school junior tape you can watch in an offseason. And the 23 class is like 80+% full. And the board is down to like 6-7 people. Might I interest you in my Gumbo recipe…in includes PEI muscles :)

De'Anthony Thomas was the same size as Dylan Edwards is when he played at Oregon, and he made it to the NFL. Don't be quick to judge Dylan because of his size. I've watched him for 3 years.

If anything one could say outside of Tyree/Fuller, and a handful of others- we have lived off the large bodied receiver too long, that has to go up and get rather than separation. I would love another type of athlete to fill out the roster. There are always ways to utilize them, whether on a swing pass, pure running back, etc. Alabama hasn't cared about size, look at some their recent receiver/athletes. Secondly, we are talking about high school juniors. Their body composition wont even be the same by sophomore year of college.

I think the point isnt as much that any 6’0 WR is the next Jamarr Chase as much as it is how do know random 6’0 WR WON’T BE the next Jamarr chase? There is a long lineage of very productive college (and NFL) running backs that are undersized.

So the point is a shifty kid with great speed and acceleration COULD develop into a Darren Spoles type RB, who while undersized ran for almost 2,000 yds his last year at K-State after going for 1,500 his sophomore year and had a long and productive NFL career.

The argument can just as easily be made both ways, some people just ALWAYS see things through a negative lens. I actually feel bad for those people, it must be a miserable existence.

Weren't we saying the same thing about Tyree?

Tyree isn’t overly shifty, with that said I’m curious to see how they use tyree this year. How much catches vs runs… hopefully estime is workhorse and tyree is all around dynamic back. He was dynamic first half vs ok state then Rees is like, Yeah let’s go diggs with the lead and stop throwing to tyree

Always go after and land potential difference makers with elite speed. Some will wash out and head to the MAC. Who cares.

I can't believe there's talk about him being too small... Was CJ Sanders too small at 5-8/160 something when he committed? Did he have any problems contributing immediately at ND? His only problem was getting in BK's doghouse and getting written out of the script.

This is a great development.

Can't lie... some of the new blood is very pay-site-ish.

Are these Driskell's followers sent here to disrupt?

BTW, what was BD's beef with IE? Saw it mentioned but it wasn't really explained.

Oregon just offered. I'm curious how much. Hopefully doesn't change anything.

Sounds like he was under the impression that all of "his" insider info was being leaked on IE and other free boards, but he mentioned IE by name. I was hoping someone could provide a link but it was probably behind a pay wall and Lord knows I'm not subscribing to IB.

All of is sounds pretty damn narcissistic at face value. What insider knowledge does he have that is exclusive to the rest of the beat? Probably not much as he's banished from the Gug.

The fact of the matter is, there are a lot of posters here who are not only members on other sites, but actually have insider access (not me, but other posters). Some of the posters are posting first-hand knowledge and everything else just trickles in after it's already been shared behind the paywall and everyone else already heard about it. It's the nature of the industry.

If Sampson shares something in the Athletic, it's going to be publicly consumed in less than 24 hours, it just gives his subscribers a chance to read it first. For Driskell to think he's losing exclusive content to IE is pretty asinine, as if we are watching him like a half 24/7 just waiting for that next nugget.

He strikes me as the type of guy that would text his employees issues rather than face to face.

“I pay you to agree with me”
Yup, made a similar post a while back. The way he interacts with his employees pisses me the fvck off, I feel bad for his employees.
