There's really no beating around the bush with this. The kid would be YEARS from contributing.

First things first, he needs to sign on with us. Should he do that, we'll see. To his advantage - he has Al Washington in his corner. Needless to say, he's shown more in his time as a skills developer than anyone that's worked with Brazille. Also, side note about Brazille - to be fair, he's been injured. Prior to injury, he was said to have flashed a bit. It seems now that whatever he flashed is gone, post injury. His time as a Bearcat is likely coming to an end. Perhaps he'll stick around, but it's unlikely he ever contributes.

"Flashed a bit" is coach speak for "this kid's got next to nothing"...I know, I've said it many times before lol. I'm also fairly certain that was said by the staff who recruited him, not the current staff, which probably says quite a bit.

You're comparing a kid who never touched a football and was 60 pounds underweight for his position to a kid who has played, albeit in a house league, and has literal NFL-type size. Sure the lack of distinct X's and O's would be similar, but he's not 2 years away body/physical talent-wise like Brazille was and he has actually put on pads. Obvious RS candidate either way, but it's definitely not as dire as adding an extremely undersized power forward from a bad Dayton Public School to the team.
