Jerlarius "EA"/"Superman" Watkins commits - hartless - 01-11-2013 10:43 AM
He deserves his own thread. This is good news if you read the major recruiting sites who did not give us much of a chance with him.

Great!
Any idea about his grades and/or academic eligibility projections?

September 24, 2012:
Watkins, whose nickname comes from the popular video game maker EA Sports, has been working toward shoring up his grades and did course work over the summer that had him at a 2.6 GPA entering the fall semester. Watkins said progress reports came out last week and he is now at 2.9.

Good find - thanks for posting!

Looks promising. Kids has a lot of offers.... Georgia, Loserville, Purdue, AZ State, among others.
RE: Jerlarius "EA"/"Superman" Watkins commits - papajohn - 01-11-2013 01:12 PM

Have to say it is a surprise. Going from low interest to getting the commit.
RE: Jerlarius "EA"/"Superman" Watkins commits - DallasTiger - 01-11-2013 10:57 PM
He kicks extra points too.
RE: Jerlarius "EA"/"Superman" Watkins commits - Tigerx3 - 01-11-2013 11:00 PM
Thought he was going to wait until signing day.
This one of the surprises I spoke of a few days back. A 5.4 rate but short of the injury he was a lock to be upgraded to a 3*.
More coming you will like!
RE: Jerlarius "EA"/"Superman" Watkins commits - Crazier - 01-12-2013 02:51 AM
But he's a 2* prospect. He will never pan out in D1 football or even get a chance in the NFL. Sarcasm off now, good get.
RE: Jerlarius "EA"/"Superman" Watkins commits - roachman48 - 01-12-2013 07:28 AM
anyone have an idea which position he will play for us?

He is a 5.4 who was injured and missed half a season and is from Fl.
Actually he is a perfect example of the type of kid I "included" as essential to building a solid program. Sarcasm noted but has no merit and is therefore pointless other than to perpetuate your wrong-headed argument.

I really get lost on these types of posts....
What is the purpose?

You have to have been posting/reading this forum for a while. Just check out the main recruiting thread. There are plenty of people that post that our recruits are terrible and this class is not good because of star ratings. If a player doesn't have multiple offers from BCS schools then he isn't talented. It just gets annoying and hard to deal with at times, so ya either end up getting ticked off or making post like the above.
RE: Jerlarius "EA"/"Superman" Watkins commits - DallasTiger - 01-12-2013 01:39 PM
Sanford is a Class 6A school, which I think is that largest schools in Florida. In watching that video of him, it looked like a lot of defenders had a hard time catching him, so he must be pretty fast. He is showing a 4.5 in the 40.

Why? There is no comparing a 5.0-5.2 rating and a 5.4. You don't make living signing 5.0 players.

How good is this kid?

Although he still lacks the elite explosiveness that made him a top-15 recruit on the Sentinel’s Central Florida 2013 Super60, Watkins is definitely heading in the right direction and close to regaining his old form.
