Can someone who's better at breaking down film than me compare Gayles and JJJ? They seem very similar to me.
My initial impression based on what is available of both is you can probably line Gayles up in other positions where as JJJ is an elite slot prospect. Gayles probably projects to slot, but I think you could potentially line him up anywhere just based on his ability and trajectory.

JJJ is a slot guy all the way. Both are very good route runners, too.

Guy is good, what can I say
Actually, this is a new protocol in each classroom at Notre Dame at the start of each school day:

I haven't seen his times or 100Ms or whatever, but dude is a laser in both short and long speed on film. Has all the "suddenness" you can ask for.
He was a big time Junior Olympian in AAU and the regional champ in Jr High and ran 10.76 as a Freshman! He has elite speed but hasn't focused on Track after that year and didn't run at all as a Sophomore.

He could've definitely been one of those 10.3x-10.4x guys by now if he stayed consistent with running.

Agreed, JJJ is an elite slot guy with excellent route running ability and speed, he has very good hands and YAC ability. Gayles is very similar with his home run speed, hands and ability to manipulate the defense with his route running. Gayles is slightly more dynamic/slippery in space and really makes himself hard to bring down. I think he could excel in the "Slot" or at the "Field" WR spots.

I’d shut it down if I were them. We took 5 last year and many appear to be hits. You take 4 studs again and you’re just paying for inevitable transfers.
Absolutely. Are we also taking into the account of the two receivers that we took in the portal.

WR room is absolutely loaded with young talent. Even with expanded roster limits, it'd be difficult to justify taking more than 3 WRs in this class (unless the 4th is Easton Royal IMO).

I still cant believe how much this program caught up to the rest of college football in terms of acquiring talent.
