Currently 2 CB's for OSU and 2 for MSU where his former QB Messiah DeWeaver is.

He's up there with Hall & Hightower on my list.

HUDL has him running a 4.40 40 at 6'6. If that's true, those are extraordinary measurables.

Would be shocked if he can even run a 4.60. Would be thrilled if he could even run a 4.60.

Similar to Alize Jones at similar stages, he views himself as a WR only. Per Wiltfong.

He's also a VERY good basketball player. Kentucky has offered him both ways. He plays with Indy AAU with Kris Wilkes and Paul Scruggs, a couple of guaranteed McDonald's All Americans. Averaged 15ppg on a state championship team as a soph.. Could easily go both ways at ND if allowed.

Still know he's not running a 4.4. lol

"La'Christian"?... "El'Christian"?... Just "Christian" because silent "L"s randomly in front of a name is a thing now???

Was thinking the same thing. How in the hell are you supposed to pronounce L'Christian? Any way you go about it, seems like a grammatical error. I've heard of a letter being silent, but never invisible. Poor kid. Parents are evil nowadays.

This might be dshans mortal enemy.

Was supposed to be at the game this weekend, but had to cancel. Matt Freeman at ISD thinks that he'll be back after the season. He also thinks that Smith could end up being better than Alize Jones.

Could he be "better"? Sure, but different. Blue Smith is a better athlete than AJ, he'll always be a WR. He's a slashing, athletic 3 on an Indy AAU team, a starter along with a couple of senior All Americans in Chris Wilkes and Paul Scruggs.

UK offered him in football and Calapari offered him the opp to join the basketball team. He's that kind of athlete.

That kind of athleticism isn't ever going inline or even the hybrid TE/WR like Jones is. He's more WR than Eifert was, he's going to be used like Megatron.

So you're saying he's not a big get. Got it

Just the opposite. Watch that tape. He plays big boy ball in Ohio. Same HS as Braxton Miller. He runs all the routes and then wins the Eifert jump ball specials. I'd say he's more Shark than AJ.

Huge want but I won't hold my breath.

Big fan of this kid's game and a perfect replacement for EQ St. Brown.

He's a WR but there are some parts of his game that seem to be that of a WR/TE hybrid. What I see is a player who's 3/5 Jeff Samardzija and 2/5 Jimmy Graham(early career when he tore it up with Brees).

Wiltfong with the CB.

Big get by Coach Cal for Stoops.

Similar to Tyreke Smith, with multiple cancelled visits, it seems like we should concentrate other places.
