Scheduled to be on campus today. A lot like Ovie. A little taller, a little lighter. Used in the same manner in their school's systems.

Michigan St has to be the leader.

His ND visit pic in front of the VIP backdrop is now his Twitter profile pic.

That's what he call a buying sign in the sales biz.

Same type player as Ovie. Would MUCH rather have Cam McGrone before Franklin (and I like Franklin)

Not a big fan of Franklin but I'm sure he's a great guy.

ND said pass.

We've actually picked up the contact here quite a bit with an upcoming workout at II being a potential difference maker.

Looking to make a decision after these next visits and camp results. No mention of projected position by ND. Some schools at LB and Wiscy at TE.

Covering our bases just in case?

Just in case of what? He's deciding this summer.

In case someone else we're after decides to go someplace else.

In case someone else we're after decides to go someplace else.

I could see that if it were later in the recruiting process but sounds like he wants a decision made soon. I actually like his tape and imagining him up around 240.

He's an interesting Drop candidate. Might not be a bad option to take, as all of the other "elite" drop candidates are seemingly waiting on decisions for much later in the process.

I haven't read where Elko envisions Jack Lamb but he obviously can carry the weight to play DROP and he could be off the board within the month.

I don't know the answer to that but, to the greater point, there are certainly guys I like more. Personally I like Lamb more at Buck and Calvert at Drop but could see either one playing at the opposite position. I tried to use language "might not" and "interesting" to show I'm not super charged up over this guy. But depending on how he does at II, it wouldn't surprise me if there is some movement afterwards.

It sounds like Jaylan is deciding towards the end of June, so we should at least be able to get Lamb on campus first, before needing to make this decision.

 

[BobbyMac]

Will not be attending Invasion.

Will be visiting June 17th per Scout IF Shayne Simon hasn't committed by then.

Committed to Wisconsin
