It'll be interesting to see who turns out to be right. Driskell and Shaun Davis believe ND is the front-runner and that Gray feels bad about turning down someone he is close to, but they expect him to choose ND. Shaun mentioned that he has some connections to some of the STL kids (Gray and Love). Also mentioned that Gray and Love have a good relationship and have been talking about ND.
That sounds good.
Very good chance that we'll have our 2 corners in this class by the 4th of July - Bell and Gray.
Doesn’t an 8 usually means the kid already committed & they don’t want to say 9 because it gives it away?
Even with Sinclair?
Nah, honestly you are spot on with your assessment. I just laugh that they try to hide behind an 8 instead of a 9 for whatever reason. So subjective and literally doesn't do anything.
IMO, no. Gray and Rhett are comparable where Bell is a better athlete than corner at this point. Bell may prove to be better than them all when he’s able to focus on just playing CB in college, but as of right now, the other two are better at the position.
I think Gray has the potential to be a true menace in the secondary. A guy that can come in and play right away, but probably not start.
Is agree with this as well. Was actually hoping the staff would take another corner comparable to Gray as well. Wagoner is a bit of a tweener to me. He doesn't quite have Grays length and not quite Bell's athleticism
Agreed. The good thing about players like Tease and Bell is if they either bust or are buried on the depth chart at WR and CB, respectively, they have the talent to play on the other side of the ball. I'd even argue the same thing with M'Pemba. I think he's more of a DE, but if he wants to play LB he's too talented to pass up. You give him a shot at LB and if he outgrows the position or is a better fit at DE then he'll play there. He has also played some TE, and if he somehow busts or is buried on the depth chart at LB/DE then with his athleticism he could be a nightmare mismatch at TE for opposing defenses.
