    You can definitely develop a quick first step ... just run an endless loop of suicides on the basketball court, shuttle drills on the football field, etc.

    He's a very high 2 to me. Nearly a 3. His ranking is low because he doesn't play the recruiting game. Biggins said he doesn't go to many camps and combines.

    If he's not quick enough for CB, he will play safety. I think he's a CB all the way though. He hits decently (should be better), he has size, he has confidence, he's an asshole. He destroys guys when he jams them. His size along with his jamming ability mitigates any first step issues he may have. I don't really buy that anyways and think it's kind of lazy analysis of seeing a 6'2" CB and automatically thinking he's not quick. His technique kind of sucks too (common for a HS player), so that is another issue.

    That said, the last CB I was this high on was Jermaine Kelly. I thought Kelly was a slam dunk.

    Well, I will be #brave and admit I wasn't a huge Kelly guy (I would've also had him as a 2), but I'm not sure him transferring really vindicates me or indicts you. It's sort of a random factor would've been way too difficult to predict when he signed.

    Because of your strong endorsement, I went back and watched Dr. Love's film and I got the same impression I had before.

    He looks fine, there's definitely upside there, but he's not that close to the level of Byron Murray.

    Solid 2 in my book. Could definitely be good. I would place him beneath S. Jones IV and Nate Dogg Jr. in the CBs we've recruited. I like him right around how much I like Gilchrist.

    David Long and Byron Murray (who are both DDY 3s) are at different levels from this kid, imho.

    I never watched Jones film, but I was high on him because the Utah Scout guy said Whittingham was livid over losing him. Utah thought they have uncovered a gem. Nate Dogg Jr sucks though.

    Yup, I remember hearing the same things.

    Now we can see why.
