That is a pretty miraculous intro into any of the 4 major recruiting databases. I am a bit of a recruitnik and I am not sure I have ever seen that.

So according to someone at 247, this is our top rated recruit right behind Gladney and is the 58th best football recruit in the nation this year. I am all for that. Just seems odd for a kid who went Juco this past year because of lack of options, not grades. Stranger that 247 did not have a high school profile for him last year. The video looks great. He is big. But he looks slow to my untrained eye. Looking around and I see his HS profile on ESPN listed him as running a +5 40 when he was 35 pounds lighter than listed now. Hope that is not accurate.

He does look powerful. Wonder if there is any chance this kid sits a year and bulks up to play with his hand on the ground. Prunty and Kaufman were the recruiters, so who knows where they see him in a couple years.

25 in the class, 5 early enrollees that may apply to last year's class depending on numbers...how many spots do we still have available?
