With Chip and Joana on the sidelines who wouldn’t?Dennis_DeYoung said:He’s going to Baylor
Ohhhhh, sweet Joana. -
Ektard actually got a scoop for once. Lewis is officially visiting UW Dec 14th. This pleases me. Hopefully he actually gets on the plane this time instead of committing to Baylor a couple days before his UW visit like he did TCU.

We are clearly trying to recruit receivers like Fried Oreo Bowl-era USM's. -
It’s not like they can’t fix it with the correct repetition of catching the ball. Get him on jugs machine and teach him how to be a hands catcher. I think a lot of it has to do with hand strength. Some guys just don’t have the ability but it’s something you can fix. He has the rare height/speed combo which you can’t teach.Dennis_DeYoung said:
First plays of his hudl, not one clean catch...NorwegianHusky said:Never realized this guy was originally from Cali. It was probably mentioned here at some point, but I guess I missed it.
Went to his senior highlights to see what you were talking about. First play is a one-handed snag away from the body unless my eyes decieve me (it is potato quality).Dennis_DeYoung said:He's not a natural receiver. He's a freak athlete - but he fights the ball, definitely. If he could catch like Kyle Ford he'd be a 5-star.
I don't see any gator-arming either. He's high-pointing and looking in a lot of these. He has some impressive catches, actually.
Are you basing this on old tape, non-highlight tape, or is this something you've been told? If this is based on his senior highlights, I don't see it.
I mean, there are some body-catches, but there are examples where he extends and snags it, too.
second play just look, the ball hits his hands and bounces, then he secures it.
Next play, doesn't reach back and get it with his hands, shoulder catches it.
Next play, arms don't look flexible, after getting the ball it doesn't come down and into his body the way that a guy with 'soft hands' would... his arms go back toward the field.
Next two plays - just overpowers the guy, but not a 'hands' catch either one.
Next play is a swing out - catch is fine, but makes a move in space without having anyone around him - not good. Inefficient use of momentum.
Next play, bread basket catch. Uses his stomach and legs to bolster the catch.
Next play, uses his chest to assist with the catch, doesn't go into his hands smoothly.
2:33 play - I like this catch. First one I think is pretty good... though his arms are just not very fluid. They seem really tight.
Next play, doesn't run through the catch, dives when he could've caught it in stride. Shows some nervousness about the catch process.
Next play, shit throw, bends his whole body to make the catch as if he wants assistance in cradling it.
Next play, uses his chest and forearms to make an over the shoulder catch. Ball moves after he makes contact with it.
Next play, alligator arms a bit.
Next play, bread baskets the catch and his body's demeanor changes when he's about to make the catch. Definitely not fluid.
...I can go on. -

You watch Ty Jones slant drop INT?
I agree with you about size and speed but there’s a reason we don’t talk about him like Ngata, Ford, or McCoy. -

He’s a leveled up version of our midgets. When we miss on the first 193672884947673 WR targets at least we’re going with higher ceilings instead of shit heads which I support. -
