Under Armour Day 3

Post by Bigducker »

Oregon commit Tacoi Sumler's hands and route-running are extremely underrated.

Devon Blackmon beats Nick Waisome for a touchdown with a diving catch.

Dam, I hope Blackmon is a Duck and was Not playing with Duck fans. Would be very dissapointed if he picked UCLA. But now no OC at UCLA with Chow gone. But we shall see, stranger things have happened.

Funny post by a Bruin :
"Blackmon would have been a Bruin if we could do anything offensively but a WR would have to be dumber than dirt to choose to waste his life in our offense. I don't even want a player that dumb on our team."

All while not playing WR in HS for most of his career. He could be even more amazing once he gets some coaching at the college level.

As of 7 hours ago there was a response from UCLA saying Chow was still on board... A different source said the Weasel was talking to Al Borges.

He's still got a lot to learn about playing the wr position. The potential is there, but right now Tacoi is the one we're not hyping enough, which is because he's already committed. Tacoi will probably be the one FR WR to see the field most early on imo. Speed, Routes, Hands.

Blackmon's situation reminds me of Huff's. If Blackmon comes here, he'll play. I think he might even more agile than Huff.

It seems the only knock on Sumler has been his size since he's only about 5'8" but he seems to be one of the most polished WRs in the country this year.

Yea, if we ran an I-Form offense, he would be a terrible fit. In our offense he's practically the ideal wr. He's got a really good vert that helps him make up for his lack of height.

DeSean Jackson(5-9) & James Rodgers(5-7) did alright.....

Elite speed > prototypical size

James Rodgers is a ridiculously good route runner. He easily makes up for his size by always being in the right spot

This.

People at the UA AA game are saying the same about Sumler, though.

So is the WR for Oklahoma Broles, he was tearing it up all year by running great routes and he's not any bigger than 180lbs.
