Apparently the reason he left Michigan is that he started looking around and Hoke has a strict rule against that so he dropped him. Not Academics or because he was a bad player or anything like that.

Steve on II compared him to the Chris Brown of the Defensive side of the ball. He thinks he is very underrated and a perfected fit for our scheme. As for anyone that questions his speed, he ran a 4.61 at the opening. The exact same that Tee ran.

At my school? Very Average. Probably below average. To many APs this year.
Really at my old high school that would be a solid showing. Not honor roll, but still very good.

Where do you go a prep school or something?

If Yuri Wright is off the board because of this epic twitter injustice (although my hunch is that the issues have to be much deeper than that....) then I imagine we push hard to land a Standifer or Redmond before NSD. Right now it appears we have 4 (max 5) scholarships available and will push hard for Ekanem + 1 CB before NSD rolls around and then take our chances swinging for the fences with some elite prospects.

Standifer, Poole, Darby, Redmond, maybe a mystery person

We'll see about Ekanem

I think that we will push hard regardless of whether Yuri is available. We need another corner, and I think Standifer's senior tape alleviated everyone's doubts that the kid can play.

IMO, Yuri is all potential, and there are signs that he may not have his head screwed on straight. That's a bad combination. Redmond would be great for his speed.

I'll be interested to see if we push for Ekanem.

Absolutely. Big Standifer fan here. Love his ball skills.

DGB has a pretty damn good shuttle time. ND guys are all 4.6+ 40s at that camp.

Of our current commits, the top three SPARQ scores all went to WRs: Russell, Greenberry, and Ferguson.

"Notre Dame, Boise State, and Pitt sit atop Standifer's list according to Josh Helmholdt of Rivals.com.

It's just those three," Standifer told Helmholdt. "I was going to visit Pittsburgh after National Signing Day, but now I want to sign on National Signing Day to get it over with. So, I am trying to go to Pittsburgh next week during the week."

Standifer already has official visits set with Notre Dame (Friday) and Boise State (Jan. 27). The Broncos even made an in-home visit this week. "

Wise move on his part.

Two questions (not meaning specifically to you Whiskey)

If his numbers are comparable to Tee's, then why only 3 star?

How good did the other CB's rate at the "SPARQ" event?

Level of competition. Production. Performance in 7-on-7 tournaments.

CBs did very well. The top performer, Daje Johnson, is a CB; 5 of the top 20 are CBs.

Keep in mind that there were no scrubs at The Opening. It was a collection of some of the nation's best talent. Of the 144 who participated in the SPARQ combine, Standifer ranked 94th. He's definitely got above-average athleticism for a Divison I prospect.

I like his style of play. Defensive playmaker, trying to get the ball on seemingly every play.

Always has his head turned when the ball is in the air, great instincts...

Like his physical play. Work on his tackleing (didn't always see him wrapping up) and we might have a winner!
