For sure. I think especially if you've played football before, there're certain players that you can recognize they have "it" at a young age.
Sounds like Pelini when he talked about Caveman. Pelini just smirked and said “this guy. This guy” when he talked about him on signing day. Hear seeking missiles.
You never know how well he'll handle the playbook, but the dude has all the tools and I think tremendous instincts.
He was my #2 player behind Alvano as the true freshman who would make an impact this year.
I remember either Rhule or Evan Cooper saying when they met him they were surprised how big he was. 6'2" or 6'3".
I am pretty sure there was an injury in his sophomore or junior year that limited his football playing. I know he was healed enough to run track his junior year and then play his senior year.
My younger brother started as a very undersized NT for 3 years in HS and always seemed to be around the ball. Some kids just have a knack for the game.
Pelini complained his first year that it was because he didn’t know his assignments and it led to some busts.
If he plays as a freshman, you can guarantee a friend of a friend of Harbaugh will be calling early and often. They will be scouting our sideline for young prospects on Sept. 30.
He played in a lower OK high school football division and on a bad team. He didn't get the recognition he deserved. I believe that the staff was tipped off to him by someone outside NU.
In this day and age of technology, I wouldn't go for that type of ******** from another coach/school. Just tell Fields if he gets a call or text from someone associated with Michigan, forward the text or phone number to Rhule/Trev/recruiting coordinator and allow them to have a man to man discussion about the meddling.
Ardmore is in the second highest class in Oklahoma. They were bad last year but the year before were 9-2. They have had a couple of players go to OU. It is t like they are out in the sticks. Ardmore is about 80 miles from OKC.
Well I don't know then I guess we will see if he sucks or if Oklahoma and Texas overlooked him
I am sure he was overlooked. I am just disputing the why he was overlooked. Ardmore is a big enough school and they played talented schools in their district and out of district. There were coaches at those games watching other players, if they missed on him then that is on them. As I stated, there was an injury involved soph or junior year.
Different schools. Plainview is a smaller 3A school south east of Ardmore proper. But it proves the point that coaches were in the area and checking out talent from smaller schools than Ardmore HS
He's definitely undersized a bit, but his will to hit and angles he takes are on another level.
If a player is on the fence between playing for Rhule and Sanders - he should just go to CO to be a part of that %+#€ show. That’s like trying to figure out if you want an aged ribeye or fruity pebbles.
