Was curious if anyone heard how he is doing? I was kind of absent from IE during his recruitment.
I’m a jr high school coach, coach some at high school age as well in the past. I had an opportunity to coach Justin on a Chicago area all star team that completed down in Florida for a post season tournament. I was DC for the team. Team had chemistry issues and that stemmed from the messaging of some of the coaches. But Justin was good kid, good athlete, wasn’t the source of our problems.
He played an LB/DB hybrid Rover type position for me during the tournament. I’m actually surprised he ended up playing D, he was more focused on being an offensive player at the time. Though he didn’t hate defense, at the time he seemed to more enthusiastic about playing offensive side of the ball. Part of it was he wanted to play corner / safety and we had other kids who could play those spots, our LB situation was lacking by all star team standards. To his credit he did play the Rover type spot because I asked him to and told him we needed him there.
Anyway I realize 3 star Freshman usually don’t play much but just curious how he was doing since I briefly coached him for like a month.
