not OKG
Visited yesterdayhttps://twitter.com/chasedariem/status/980542613500542976Also Wiltfong CB'd him to UW. I really like him, I would take him as an athlete and test him at WR & CB.
He's like a DDY 2.8.I know that's not really a thing, but he's a much more athletic version of Aaron Fuller and about 3 feet taller than Myles Bryant, so I'm not sure what the downside is here.In my mind you give the in-state kids a very slight bump up on the recruiting board. By definition they're more likely to commit, so why expend 3X the energy getting essentially the same kid from California. The recruiting model should always be to use the PNW to get about a half a dozen layups, and fill the remainder of the class from other parts of the west coast. If we put together 5 straight NY6/playoff appearances, then maybe we can start being more selective and radically altering our tried and true recruiting strategy.
I think the issue with this kid is two-fold:1) We have convinced ourselves that in-state players suck unless they are basically DDY3s. 2) It's not really clear where he fits. He doesn't look like the kind of corners we use... he's like either a slot defender or slot receiver.

I basically agree with this, though I think he's a very solid 2. His frame is not that big, but I agree he's way better than Myles Bryant and Aaron Fuller. I think we are going to end up taking 4-5 DBs this year and I could easily see him as one of those guys (or possibly a slot guy on O). I also agree that ties have to go to in-state players. This kid, Fabiculanan, Criddell, Asa Turner (who may end up at SAM anyway)... these are all guys I think we will do really well with.
