    whole lot of hot trim to sexually assault without the concern of reprimand there...who could blame him?

    Picturing your avatar muttering those words makes this that much better.

    He’s going to Baylor

    With Chip and Joana on the sidelines who wouldn’t?

    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.

    Never realized this guy was originally from Cali. It was probably mentioned here at some point, but I guess I missed it.

    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.

    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).

    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.
    First plays of his hudl, not one clean catch...

    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.
    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.

    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.

    There is a classic NFL Films clip on Sid Gillman turning to an assistant and saying

    We offered this dude pretty early. I could see him being as high as #5 on our bored:

    Bru
    Ngata
    Ford
    Davis
    Lewis

    He's not one of the five stars but he's not some last minute desperation heave either.

    I still don't think we get him but I'd gladly take him.

    With all due respect to Taj. If you’re targeted below him you’re a JAG. Let us refer to the “can you see him at Bama or Georgia scale”. I get your point and I’ll fucking take him so we don’t have to go even lower but cmon.


    Why can we get the number 1 DT in the fucking country but we have to be thankful for Taj Davis? Does anyone else get unreasonably infuriated by this? We fucking outrecruited Bama, Ohio State, Clemson, USC, and Texas But for receivers let’s nust be happy to beat out TCU and UCLA. Fuck this man. It fucking trickles down. If we get Tyler Vaughns and Javon McKinley you think Ford feels he can relate more to them in our offense being top LA talent just like him? Or is he sitting on his couch saying man I can’t wait to be and play like Aaron fuller?


    What’s going to happen when we miss ford and try to get Johnny Wilson? He’s not gonna know who the fuck McKinley (Kennedy) Lewis is (see I dont even know his fucking name). But he’ll know everyone at USC and everyone at Oregon and be able to feel comfortable.


    Kids are fucking followers.
    DDY worthy rant. Just need more “fucks” and all caps in a few statements.

    I share your views on this one.

    He's 6'3 and runs a 4.3 40. This wouldn't be a consolation price and he ain't no JAG.

    agreed he is not a jag. We pursued him and Nacua over delgado and pittman. Obviously we would rather get Ford or Ngata. It is a really weird year for recruiting out west in that everyone is shunning USC. Normally Ford would be a lock to SC. Hopefully we capitalize on these situations before SC gets serious about football again.

    USC doesn't start recruiting until the season ends. 5 wins got them about 4 extra weeks of recruiting this year under Helton.
