2 star NR guys suck so badly that they are never to make eye contact with me, touch me, and breathe when they are near me.....they can only talk to me if I initiate the conversation.
I'd much rather have 3 star terrors like Brent Williams and Matthew Lyons!!!1!!@!!!1!!!!!!
His highlight video doesn't scream "two star" to me, but his offers were concerning, until I found out he has only played football for one season. Pretty impressive for a his first time playing ball.

Looks like the kind of player that TCU has spent the better part of 10+ years grabbing under Patterson that stays under the radar because of location, comes in and redshirts for a year to get a little bigger, stronger, and work on his technique, and then becomes a terror because his athleticism is too much for most OL.
I hope we can make some inroads into Houston. It's a big fucking city with a lot of talent. Bringing up Aiyewa, I still am pissed he didn't redshirt. By the end of his junior season, you could tell the light went on for him.
I TBS'd his HUDL video. Stop reading now and flag my post.
He doesn't appear to be a superb athlete with great hips. I'd confirm with Irishdawg before concluding that for certain though. He stands up and looks pretty unsure out there, which makes sense in light of the info that he's a new player. Big guy though and a good project.

I watched his HUDL last week too, was not impressed at all. But now hearing that it was his first year of football it makes a lot more sense. Good project to work on like you said. Will be curious to see how his film looks this year compared to last.
What I saw was that he looked like he had some decent size and some decent speed ... he showed some decent recognition on some plays and a motor that didn't stop even though the play went away from him (which a lot of HS players lack in is playing 100% regardless of where the play is going). You could definitely tell that he was raw from a technique perspective and relied upon his athleticism to get himself off of blocks ... credit to him in that even with being that raw that he showed the ability to get off numerous blocks and still make plays.
Definite RS candidate which is perfectly fine for him. Let's see some tape from this year (8 sacks so far isn't too bad) as well as his development once he gets coached up. You can teach technique but often hard to find athleticism.

This will decimate our average star rating and pretty much put us out of contention before the offseason even starts..
