    2013 Kevin Smith was actually kinda good.

    Yeah, he was a pretty good player his senior year. He didn’t do much before that.
    Played as true freshman. Got hurt. Got hurt again as sophomore.

    Never got any bigger, stronger, or faster.

    Never really developed but did make most of health and starting opportunity as a senior to put up some stats.

    Despite never achieving full potential still made NFL roster for three years.

    Sarked.

    Smith was about 1/4 the receiver prospect that Odunze is. He was a strong, fast athlete but didn't have Odunze's length, quickness, or hands.

    I don't see what Roadie's seeing either. He's better than anyone he was playing against in the Hudl clips. I just would like to have seen some blocking cuts.

    True, but he's big and quick and UW definitely emphasizes blocking at WR. He'll get it.

    Unrelated but Smith was a really good blocker.

    Rome blew up in the months after his Opening regional and various underwear olympic events. He ran a 4.55 with a 4.00 shuttle (fastest shuttle at his regional) at 6'2.5". I see the speed while watching his film. His shuttle is a little surprising because he seems more fast than quick and isn't completely fluid out of breaks.

    He also missed most of his sophomore year with an injury so this was his first full year on varsity. If he continues to learn the route tree and can build mass, he'll be a baller.

    He's a perfect compliment to the other young WR's on the roster, even if he needs a little time to develop. One thing (among others) we've been missing the past few years is a WR that can take the top off the defense. Rome fills that.

    100 meters:
    10.67 - Same PR as Jalen McMillan

    200 meters:
    21.25 (McMillan's PR is 21.64, which is faster than Puka, Spiker, and Osborne)

    And I like him more than just his track times. He's a long, fast WR that is coming into his own as a player. His floor isn't as high as McMillan's, but he has a similar ceiling.


    jesus fucking christ...you basement dwelling losers who analyze players like you've ever held a ball that wasn't inside your own scrotum.

    I like them both, but Kupp is a fringe Pro Bowl WR. Chances are they won’t be that good.

    Committed to: Washington
    247Sports Composite: 4-star | 0.9060 | No. 278 Overall | No. 49 WR

    Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-2.5, 200-pound wide receiver out of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nev., Odunze committed to the Huskies over fellow finalist Oklahoma. He holds 33 reported offers overall. His primary recruiter at Washington was wide receivers coach Junior Adams. He is the 16th commitment for the Huskies in the 2020 recruiting cycle. In 14 games as a junior, he reeled in 60 catches for 1,347 yards and 15 touchdowns. At the Opening Regional in Los Angeles, he posted a 4.55 40-yard dash, a 4.00 short shuttle, a 33.8-inch vertical and a 35.5-foot Power Ball throw, giving him a SPARQ rating of 112.77.

    247Sports Evaluation: Lean frame with length and strong build. Room to add mass without losing flexibility. Stellar straight-line speed. Physicality to gain separation at the line of scrimmage. Smooth route runner, although needs some refinement in getting out of breaks. Athleticism to go up for the football in traffic. Good body control and fluidity to make defenders miss in space. Threat to stretch the field and get behind the secondary. Could improve as a natural pass-catcher and being more consistent over the middle. Potential multi-year starter at the Power Five level and All-Conference type performer. Upside as a Day 3 NFL Draft selection. – 247Sports Mountain Region Recruiting Analyst Blair Angulo

    NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3)
    Player comparison: Jordan Lasley | WR | Oakland Raiders

    LOL that these high school recruiting guys are already trying to project which fucking NFL draft day. JFC
    Agreed, but the rounds are based on their ranking system. I listened to a podcast last month about it.

    So the draft projection is just an automatic fill in based on the kids ranking, and then they add a player that they think is a good comparison.
