6-4 205 and runs a 4.4. He’s worth a flyer.
That's a fair argument. I think it's the chronology that has some people dejected as much as anything. Had he committed after we landed a few guys with more decorated stat sheets it'd be different.
It is what it is, we have to go after guys like him, Bub Means, etc, that haven't reached their full potential and hope the light bulb goes on. Hopefully works at least as well as Means, who turned pretty decent towards the end of his career here (everyone thought losing Dante Cephas was a huge loss and he turned out to be the bust). So you never quite know.
Decorated stat sheets? Look at some of these players other major programs are signing in the portal. Half of them has never even played a whole game.
Bro, this dude has 15 catches since he played high school football in 2019. If you think that's common you're an idiot. I get what your angle is on this board, but this one is rare and it lessens your credibility (not that you had any to begin with) to state otherwise.
Robert Foster had 35 catches and 379 yards in four years at Bama before playing in the nfl for three seasons.
He was also a 5-star who was a physical specimen who just couldn't put it together mentally. And his best season was his last, not his first.
Those are Rodney Gallagher numbers and that kid is making big-time dough. I hope we can afford him.
Well, maybe, in that he is 10 inches taller than everyone else.
The staff certainly chose build, size and speed over production. Lots of WRs out there and they must have seen something with this kid.
In fairness, they've had at least five receivers they reached out to cancel visits and/or commit to other schools. And I'm sure the actual number is much higher than what is known. At some point, I guess you kind of just have to settle for what's attainable. So it's not not necessarily that they chose him over other options; I'm just not sure what their other options are looking like at the moment. Something tells me they're kind of grim, though.
So much for the offensive scheme/OC exciting the recruits.....
Getting WRs in the portal isn't a huge concern. They are a dime a dozen. It's not like we're going to get some special talent in the portal at that position.
He has 5 years of college football with minimal production that says a lot more about him as a football player than his stated size and speed.
It’s a flyer. We aren’t limited on ‘ships. DJ Turner and Bub Means did next to nothing prior to coming to Pitt. There’s no risk to it.
