He has been bumped up to 4 star and a rating of .9111 now. These coaches just keep piling on the stud recruits! We may just see a Natty in the future yet!StevensTechU wrote:Finished watching his highlights. Just a few thoughts.
- Great run-support instincts. Definitely more of a John Boyett / Brady Breeze type of safety, but much more slender build. He's 6'1, so playing at more than 190 lbs is probably plenty attainable.
- Solid nose for the football when it's in the air. He's not a natural free safety, but he does well to get himself in the area of the football where there's a chance to make a play.
- Probably 4.6-4.7 speed. Plenty sufficient for a strong safety.
- I really would have liked to have seen some highlights of him in coverage, locked in 1:1 with a receiver. Lacking those, you have to be conservative in your estimate of his skillset in that regard.
I think his rating of 88-89 is appropriate. Better prospect than current Oregon strong safety Nick Pickett. Very good pickup if the Ducks get him, IMO.
Yes, he did bring in some amazing players, especially at the skill positions.squintsdd wrote:Obviously chip thought he could too. Look at the players he brought in compared to before him.

Then looked at low UCLA is ranked made me think of all the excuses we made for Chip Kelly like it was too hard to recruit to Eugene.
He reminds me alot of Holland in HS. Picket was barely a power 5 guy, far below David.StevensTechU wrote:Finished watching his highlights. Just a few thoughts.
