DT Vincent Valentine...

Post by woundedknees »

My guess is he doesn't fit the costume...

My bad.

http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=2&c ... 59654.html

" In Edwardsville (IL) four-star defensive tackle Vincent Valentine, the Ducks have a talented target who has been a fan since childhood."

http://rivals.yahoo.com/usc/football/re ... ine-115377

6'3"/300, per Rivals.

http://missouri.scout.com/a.z?s=19&p=8&c=1&nid=4983362

6'2"/315/5.2, per Scout, and rated as a 4 star.

"Vincent Valentine finished his junior season with 35 tackles, two sacks, two fumbles caused and one fumble recovered. He says he can bench 305-pounds, squat 415 and has a 29-inch vertical jump.
Valentine says he’s considering majoring in either psychology or sociology. He reports a 2.4 core GPA and is taking the ACT on April 9." (Oops!)

Valentine: “I think I’m smart and can recognize plays. I have a good bull rush and can shed blockers. I think I play a very aggressive style and am a good run stopper."

Heckuva offer list.

“I want to get faster and stronger and be more agile.

According to the guys over at the recruiting site formerly known as Duck Territory,, Oregon is currently pursuing several more traditional size DTs.

Looks to have the physical attributes and scholarship offers of a good DT, but I'm a little worried about his grades.

Stud DT wants to come to Oregon?

Of course he has poor grades...
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

The guy has great size and strength but I would have thought he would of had better stats for a guy with his size in highschool.

The "I think that I'm smart" comment and the reported 2.4 GPA don't really match... Maybe it is time to work harder in the classroom?

While he probably was talking about his on-field smarts, a lot of people are probably going to jump to same conclusion as goducks.

So, is that supposed to make the point any less valid?

Somebody's a little sensitive...

As long as he qualifies and stays eligible, I've got no problem if he's got the same field smarts as Alvin Mack!
