UConn Junior Days

I gotta be honest, im not sure we watched the same tape... he is a huge kid, by the look of it very strong and he is indeed quite agile but the technique is lacking. nothing against him what so ever, if he wants to come here great but he has stuff to work on, putting plays where you are blatantly holding kids, getting stood up and driven back into the pocket and standing straight up out of your stances on your highlight tape is not a good look. again nothing against this kid he has great size and is for sure an athlete but he needs coaching. there were flashes of greatness in the tape when he stayed low off the ball and drove his defender off the ball but there were also plays where he stood straight up then when he was locked up with the defender just tossed him to the side which in D1 ball you just aren't gonna do. great raw kid that can be developed but polished by no means.

Definitely will have to agree to disagree. Keep in mind he is 6'6, I don't see him standing straight up in the highlights. I see a guy with excellent agility, who had some tremendous reach blocks. He can get to the second level and moves well laterally. Sky is limit with D 1 coaching. He has the skills to be an excellent right tackle.

Interesting - my take was more like yours. That said he's certainly worth tracking next fall if the kid has heart and is coachable.

thank you for being civil, most times when people disagree it devolves into bs, I agree that he can develop into something special just not quite there yet.
