Camping today at Elite Skills 3.

Everybody says they want an Anquan Boldin, well here he is. Problem is will he stay that size over the next 5 years.

Good tape as he uses grown man strength and balance to house HS secondaries.

Posted 55 rec / 800+ yds / 7 TD's his Soph year.

Had a nice overall score at the New Yersey Opening with a score of 101.04. Problem was his 40 of 4.91 which he has time to correct somewhat and his game isn't based on burner times. He also put up:

Shut = 4.32
PB = 40.5
Vert = 31.6

Could the Irish use a 6-2/225 WR down the road? Or will they see value in him as a Buck/Mike prospect.

Would be interesting to know where the other schools are recruiting him at.

I don't understand 247's ranking. The 36th WR but 172 overall.

 

[NDIrish88]

I wasn't blown away by his WR film and based on the current CB's we have with WR in 2020 and other WR in general I don't think he is a take. On defense I think he is a buck but I didn't see a lot of that in his film so I can't really say if he would be better at D than O.

In the other thread I said that he'll probably play defense because he's already 220 pounds. After watching this video, I could be wrong. Maybe he's a unicorn.

Ran a 4.7 in South Bend, per Loy.

 

[NDIrish88]

I'll be interested to see his film next year. He looked faster at the camp

 

[NDIrish88]

Read a Rivals article stating that he is primarily being recruited at LB by Lea.

As he should be.

 

[NDIrish88]

As he should be.

I liked him at receiver too, but given where things stand right now in 2020 WR vs LB, I will take him at LB first.

His body looks better suited for defense. He looks like he put on weight in his lower body since his last film. Looks like a Rover right now and if he gets bigger then Buck is right around the corner.

Brian Dohn gave him a PSU CB this morning. Coming off the Syracuse game visit and the fact it's Dohn = Not good.

Of course, not sure ND needs another LB until 2022.

That is one of the strangest top tens I have seen.

Glad we’re in it however why list a Top 10 if you’re still open for recruitment??

We typically don't win with guys who feel the need to list "Top Tens". Next...

 

[Luckylucci]

After the last two classes we’ll probably be very selective at LB.

If we get Asa I wouldn't mind only taking cody simon, assuming Kalel is all UM. No Asa, give me Simon + 1 more

Yea, I think we’re looking at 1 max 2 LB’s.

 

[NDIrish88]

Yeah cody Simon is the take. One more would be kalel. That should be more than enough.

How does Penn State land these kids yet we just had a bunch of kids visit and no one popped?

Maybe, just maybe it's because you didn't tweet at them enough ........

???

It's their 4th commit in 2020. Same as ND and they are lower rated than the Irish.

I seriously doubt they were still recruiting Jacobs very hard, if at all.

 

[NDIrish88]

Yeah he is a rover anyway and ND is Rovered out.
