Re: 5 Star WR Stafon Diggs
They probably have the WR prospects they like ahead of him but it'd be kind of stupid not to at least offer a player like him.

Re: 5 Star WR Stafon Diggs
It is still a long ways till Signing Day. I'm sure if Diggs is truly interested, then our coaching staff will reach out to him.

Analyst's take: "Diggs won't wow you physically and he tests well but not off the charts, but when it comes to playing actual football he's one of the most dynamic prospects in the country. He can take a swing pass and take it the distance, is physical and tough enough to go over the middle and he's a legitimate downfield threat. He'll fight for the ball, amps up his game the more physical you get with him and he doesn't back down from anyone. I've seen him play since his freshman year and he hasn't gotten much bigger but he gets more explosive and more dangerous every season. He can play slot receiver or play wide, he will be a return guy at the next level and if he wanted to he could be a top notch cornerback or safety. He's simply dynamic." - Mike Farrell, Rivals.com
A higher ranked Jeff Maehl-type?
Why he's a five-star: "Diggs has great body control, quickness and change of direction. He stood out in the drills at the Tuscaloosa NIKE Camp last spring as an underclassman even more than most of the older kids so I noticed him without having any clue who he was. I followed him after that and he has terrific ball skills, he's a very good route-runner and he might not be a pure 4.4 guy but he plays fast. He dominated the one-on-ones and that was a really talented group." - Barry Every, Rivals.com
His coach says: "Diggs has so much raw ability and God-given talent and he's the kind of player that you just have to tell him one thing once and he knows it, you don't have to tell him over and over again. He picks things up so easily but the best part about him is that when the ball comes around him, something changes. It does something special to him. His whole demeanor changes when he sees a football, it's hard to explain. He's super-competitive and hates to loss and when the chips are down, he never quits. He fights. He leaves it all on the field and you can't teach his ability." - Good Counsel assistant coach Brawley Evans.

Re: 5 Star WR Stafon Diggs
Sounds like the type of player that you'd think the coaches would love but there has to be some good reason for not offering him yet (not taking many WRs, others WRs ahead of him, personal issues coaches are wary of, or it's too early yet.)woundedknees wrote:http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/co ...

Re: 5 Star WR Stafon Diggs
C'mon....This guy doesnt have the physical attributes to be a receiver....Plus a total lack of speed....And, he probly only sports a 3.9 GPA....I think we can do better....Good thing is that no one is looking at the kid, so he is obviously one of those guys that is flying under the radar.....
