Coker just approved. KB followed him. Which is amazing because now that KB is done with recruiting he only follows light skinned honeys.
Offer him. Let's get him in the boat. Kid is fucking good.
You like him at safety or RB?
I like him at S maybe a little more, but I see him as a guy with a chance to be a really good RB.
I agree with @ToddTurnerLIVES that toss sweeps worry me, but what I like is that when he's in traffic and not 'thinking' he has the subtle body positioning things he does that are quick twitch that get defenders off balance and he has the quick twitch to blow by them.
He reminds me of Boobie Williams.
Also: I think given that we missed on Charbs, fuck it, take this guy. Play him at RB... if it doesn't work out, move to DB. He's not fucking Jomon Dotson. He knows how to play football.
His latest highlight is a thing of beauty. A lot more film of him running between the tackles and he definitely shows that innate feel/timing/body positioning that good backs have.

First, this kid is not ever going to be a BallzBigBack. His exaggerated high school bio lists 5'11", 185, and he looks like he doesn't have an ounce of fat on him. His ceiling for size is more Bishop Sankey than Corey Dillon.
Secondly, offer him anyway. Right now. I would argue that this would be one of the more important commits in the class. On a surface level, the kid can just flat out play, to an extent that transcends "level of competition" excuses and whatnot. Beyond that, though, this kid is a "building a bridge to the '20 and '21 in-state classes" starter kit. If even half of that ST article is true, he's so OKG that OKG might have to be redefined if he's not offered. The effort play at 5:40 in the above hudl alone is worth a Petersen scholarship offer.
The message would be clear: "We mean what we say. 'OKG' isn't just a catch phrase. Whatever your 7-on-7 coach is telling you, we don't care where you live, where you stand on the socioeconomic ladder, how many parents you have, or whether you attend an expensive private school. Be an amazing football player (first and foremost), act like you give a shit about school and your future, don't be an entitled bitch, and--maybe most importantly--be patient if you're in-state, and you'll get an offer from UW."
