'25 TX WR Tanook Hines (USC Verbal)

[IAIrish]

Three big dominoes. Will it stop there or will a Robinson/Hall be added as well? NoB and Meadows will likely simmer for awhile.

 

[ND7983]

With Faraimo supposedly committing first week of July too wouldn't be surprising if Blair, Faraimo and Hines went three days in a row. We have seen Freeman do it in the past.

As of now, both Hines & Blair are the 5th, which is no bueno.

It might be unpopular, but when choosing between Hines and Hall I'd rather have Hall.

Offer lists tell a much different story, and I like Hall.

Yeah, hopefully I am wrong, but reading between the lines with Hines' comments, it seemed like he liked us, but didn't love us. I could be wrong.

I think ND is the leader, but the dates will need to change.

6A Texas WR? Gimmee

Right there with you. But hard to imagine public school Houston kid escaping through the TAMU, UT, LSU, UH, etal posses and end up in the Bend.

We need a 3 peat or four in a row

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I want Tanook, as I said earlier in the thread.

Fun little thing I caught on 24/7 when I was eating lunch:

Tanook dropped his 100m time from Sophomore to Junior year by .4 seconds. And he was already running a sub 11, at 10.89. Dropped that to a 10.45. I want to know what his 5-10-5 are because he looks like he has loads of acceleration.

I bring up his improving track times to simply say, this is an already very fast athlete who is growing/developing each year. Who knows what he could be in another 18 months.

I want T. Hines every day, no matter the other options. He has a mid floor and super high ceiling.

It's interesting because Jamie U/ISD are very lukewarm towards Hines and seem to think his track speed doesn't translate or show up on the football field. Basically say this everytime they discuss him

Meanwhile Driskell/IB are extremely pro-Hines

They have similar divergent opinions on Robinson. Jamie U/ISD think he's a stud with huge upside while Driskell/IB think he's pretty good player but not nearly as high on him

They both kinda share a similar opinion of Hall where it seems he'd be a better version of Plaxico Jr but since they already have Jr--he's lower on the wish list

Meadows they share similar opinions on his talent but Roberts seems extremely adamant that he won't sign with ND while ISD guys seem much more optimistic

Sinclair/Thomas are basically in the middle of those two parties on their opinions of the WRs

Driskall brought up a good point about Hines’ qb play being worse as a junior

Hines is faster than Michah Bell...and can catch/shake.

I'll take the Will Fuller clone over Meadows

Well one plays much better competition in TX and is one of the 5 fastest recruits in the country. Soph year he put up big numbers as well.

Article on IB indicates Blair announcement date is July 15 now

It’s a typo on their part. His commitment date has been July 5th for a while. His birthday hasn’t changed either lol

Is Hines comparable to Greathouse? With those in favor of Hall over Hines that is where I am at right now. For me it's still Meadows/Robinson as must takes and Hall then Hines. With these 4 WR's on the board if we land either of them we are in good shape.

Hines is the burner ND needs. And not a burner like Bell who was fast, but not a football guy first, but an actual fast kid who is a football player first.
Kid is faster than Bell was & Troy Pride too.
I like Hall, and I would take all 4 of them, and sort it out later.

I would argue hall is more like Greathouse. We need to build a Wr room like a bball team. Hines and Meadows are the types we dont have a lot of

Agree with this. Really hope Hines is Irish as reports indicate. Kid is very fast and can play. Takes an offense to a whole new level to have a weapon like that. No doubt Freeman and Brown are upgrading wide receivers. Impressed with Freeman's decisiveness with this unit.

D3 (shoutout the guy who said this) said we lead but USC is building momentum

100% agree with the bold statement. All 4 of them are a take if they want in.

I would be very disappointed with zero, mildly disappointed with only one, content with two, pumped with three, and be running through the wall if we got all four.

I'd expect a black hole to eat our solar system before zero signed. I would expect Freeman to go undetected by the paparazzi for an entire week before only one signed. I would be very disappointed if only two signed. I'd run through a wall if they signed Meadows, Robinson & Hines. I'd expect Freeman to wear some bedazzled True Religion's and an Ed Hardy douche cape before they take 6 WR's... though I'd run through another brick wall if they did.

That's my mindset whenever I go out clubbing.

Why you gotta hate on the outfit I wear with the family when we go to Cheddar’s for Sunday lunch?

Bell's times as a JR 10.41/20.89 compare very well with Hines' times 10.45/20.71, they even ran against each other twice.
