    And what makes SAC’s comments worse is that as far as being a Jimmy Lake cover 3 CB, this is his fantasy prospect. More than Kelee or Isaac Taylor-Stuart.

    If SAC ever played football, or cut up film, or anything remotely connected to football he’d know that for a DB the number one thing is recognize and react. That’s why guys who run 4.6s can cover 4.3 WRs.

    I thought Troy Hill would be a major bust, ran 4.72 or some shit when Oregon was timing his as a freshman. But he had great instincts, gets NFL money, and that’s just a natural thing that happens in your brain: seeing where the guy is going and where the ball can go. Adjusting the body to prevent that. You have to meet a minimum threshold of speed, but as a CB its all about reaction. Ricks has that. Good luck to him in the SEC or at USC, so - break a leg, etc.
    He doesn't have that. His hip turn is slow and so is his change of direction. Guys like Byron Murphy and Elijah Molden have it. He doesn't. We'll see tho. No sense in arguing about it now while he's still in high school. Holla at me in a couple years.
    I’ve seen Elijah Molden play in HS, several times. I lived a mile away from his family. I’ve seen him in the state championship destroy my Rams from close up - while he was on offense, making above average kids look like they couldn’t move. He could become a great CB, he has the athleticism. But that’s not what we’re talking about. Some guys have elite talent, and you can see it like a shiny gold coin in a pile of shit. It doesn’t mean they’ll be college or NFL stars, but they have a damn good chance of making it happen if they try. I don’t fawn over 17 year olds too much, but I’m not dumb enough to not want one of those shiny gold coins on my side.

    You can have him. Oh wait, Oregon has no chance anyways so you're writing novels about him for no reason.

    I now believe SAC has a split personality. One personality is pretty accurate, very rational, and has good football knowledge. The other is a clown show that refuses to ever take the L.

    This. Now when I read a SAC post i get a visual picture of James McAvoy from the movie "Split".

    I’ve been following recruiting since before SAC was born. Back when you’d have to search for the Best in the West, pay Don James’ son in law, or wait until Porn Stache told you who you signed at the MAC dinner. Elias Ricks is as good of a CB as the West Coast has ever produced.

    I don’t give a fuck what he did in shorts, I’ve seen what he did at Mater Dei. Gets thrown at twice in a game, takes both back for TDs. But he’s not as good as a WR in a drill, so he’s a pass.

    Ballz is half on point and half retarded but this board is more entertaining when he’s off his meds, I will say that
