Another short guy. WR or TE?

Man, Diaco loves his big guys!

He's a WR in his hudl but Dez says he's a TE. I'll make him a TE/WR in the info.

 

[BlueDogs]

Disappointed .... He's only 6'5 225 (sarcasm for the literalists).

We are going to be a very imposing team at this rate. I LOVE IT

That's a good thing in football.... Especially if you want this program heading to a P5 conference

Cue the Rick Majerus "I'm not a big Gay guy" clip.

Positions that these tall guys can play: S/OLB/DE/TE/LT/WR/maybe even RT.

It's not like you can have too many tall guys. I don't think you can.

I like that were nano making some nice in roads in NJ.

Any other offers or interest from other programs?

LOVE. THIS. CLASS! When Coach Diaco made his "Seniors look like Freshmen" comments a while ago, that won't be that true anymore. Our FR are going to be bigger than some of our upper classmen! I think this is a good thing too...it will push our upper classmen in Balis' S&C program and that work ethic will, hopefully, rub off on the FR. By the time this class enters their JR and SR seasons, they will have the size and strength to be able to play in the NFL...except that they will be playing against college kids about half their size!

Welcome aboard Ian!

Scout and Rivals mention that he committed, nothing else about him at all. ESPN and 247 do not have him in their databases. Maybe Des will know something.

 

[Pudge]

lots of 6'4" to 6'6" ... and I'm thinking how funny Arkeel is going to look in that lineup. zip zip HE"S GONE!

 

[CodyJ.]

He sure is big...but that video doesnt show too much. Coverage was loose at best on most of the catches. Had a couple nice over the top catches too...
I'm looking forward to seeing these guys develope for sure. Cant teach size.

Another recruit I can go check out this fall...

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Ian!!!

I found an All State team on MSG Varsity, I think it was. He was one of 35 receivers listed under "Honorable Mention"

 

[sportsart]

When I watch his video all I think of is "That's another UConn first down". Definite possession guy. Add 20 pounds and he's good to go. He already looks like a man out there.

Agree 100% on the NJ reconnection...

Read that Campbell had camped @ Rutgers this past weekend and had other interest from Penn State, Temple and Pitt.

The Rent is going to be valley of the giants. Throw over them, run over them.

 

[auggie22]

Maybe Des will know something.

Good one.

Wanted to welcome Ian to the family. Somehow missed this commit yesterday. I was wrong about number 8.
