Big time athlete, runs like a 10.6 100M, but probably needs to add some bulk. Hope he can keep that speed as he adds weight.

Kind of appears to be a long range project but need depth at this point.
Great assessment. Very raw in terms of technique but has exceptional physical tools. Will be interesting to see how this one develops. Kinda reminds me of, albeit slightly different body type, to Jimari Butler.

Definitely a big drop-off between Hayden Moore (who Fields replaced) and Fields, but thats to be expected given how late in the game Hayden changed his decision

You must have a lot of free time on your hands to “EVALUATE” these kids and give your “Assessments” on a free board..😂

Who are the "peers" that are reviewing them?
Not sure what he means by "peers" he sends me emails at like 3am wanting me to read and give my thoughts on them. One time it was a picture of a napkin with sharpie written on it about a current Nebraska commit. His grammar was atrocious.

His Mom and Dad.

Seriously, this kids film looks phenomenal. Great find. He looks like a better version of Hausmann.
His mother does not review them she is often too busy watching reruns of "Once Upon a Time." Otherwise, you are spot on I do review his "articles".

Meanwhile, about Fields, I watched his Hudle film. I have watched tons of HS film and it isn't always easy to learn what you want to know based on the talent around them.

Fields has interesting upside it would appear. He takes very good angles to the ball carrier and accelerates to and through the ball carrier. He runs to the sideline well, but again, the speed of those around him may be suspect. What I didn't see was any pass coverage.

I suspect he will be evaluated soon and given some stars but what do I know.

My only concern watching his tape is that he is rarely shown engaging and fighting off blocks. Just straight to the runner. I can’t imagine he is going to be unblocked every play at this level 😁

You can teach that. You can’t teach speed.
