Not saying anything too negative about PSA but this kid is 6'3" 215 and looks 30 at 16. I'm getting serious Julien Simon vibes.

I have a little faith he could develop because Brandon Huffman hadn't already ranked him as the #1 LB in the country as a 7th gradertheknowledge said:Not saying anything too negative about PSA but this kid is 6'3" 215 and looks 30 at 16. I'm getting serious Julien Simon vibes.

It appears Huffman and his role as an FSP/Heir hype man has been reeled in a bit by the someone in the 247 Sports hierarchy.
He basically had been a cheerleader ranking Gee Scott on his personal list of 5 stars in Class of 2020, then had Savell Smalls in the Top 60. OL Levi Rogers, OL Geirean Hatchett, DB Ayden Hector, RB Sam Adams, TE DJ Rogers and DE Alphonse Oywak were slotted behind Smalls.
Out of that group, only Rogers and Hatchett may end up as quality P5 caliber players.
2021 is comical with 11(!) 4-stars: Tuimoloau and moreso Egbuka have had their moments at OSU-Columbus, but it'd be pretty shocking if they end up as Top 10 NFL picks like the 247 rankings are supposed to project.
Now check out the rest of Huffman's Elite 11 from that '21 class Sam Huard (UW to Cal Poly); Owen Prentice (quit football); Julien Simon (USC to Tulsa); Clay Millen (started at QB for a lifeless CSU offense; already a better prospect than his 4-star clipboard holding brother who's gone from Oregon to Northern Arizona to UConn); Lonyatta Alexander (ASU/UW and now Idaho); Jabez Tinae (buried in the depth chart at UW); Jacob Schuster (hasn't played much at Minnesota); Josh McCarron (who's yet to see the field at Virginia); and Will Latu, that pudgy LB who was in and out of the lineup at Bethel, but whom 247 kept a 4-star and Lake signed anyway — and then the kid never made it to campus.
Not good

This is a terrible group. I wouldn't put Egbuka and Tuimoloau in the same class. I think Egbuka is a possible Top 10 pick based on play while Tuimoloau is still getting that tag mostly based of 247 rankings recognition and one game.Geevis_and_Butthead said:It appears Huffman and his role as an FSP/Heir hype man has been reeled in a bit by the someone in the 247 Sports hierarchy.

Hard DISAGREE. This kid looks like he could be High School Julien Simon's oldest child.theknowledge said:Not saying anything too negative about PSA but this kid is 6'3" 215 and looks 30 at 16. I'm getting serious Julien Simon vibes.
He doesn't look anywhere near as old as Simon did.
Hell he still has the puberty mustache going. -
On further review it might be the receding hairline that scares you and I will admit there is Black Dylan Morris potential here.dnc said:

Im all for it and dont really care about past failings tbh. The fence is gone but Im still all for giving local dudes who are highly regarded first crack.
Plenty of big dick local studs and I want them all. -
We don’t need the gee Scott or julien simon’s of the world. Just get the kids you want. I have no idea if this kid is good but taking someone because they’re local is stupid if they suck.Penace said:Im all for it and dont really care about past failings tbh.
