Hey Coach,

I've been thinking the exact same thing. The kid has good size (6'1, 200+lbs) but no D1 offers - hard to believe. His film is impressive...

The next Marvin Burdette!!!

Offer this kid sign him up.

You can put coach Johnson in the "officially notified" category.

Let's not forget every bench-warmin' scrub in college was a high school hot shot.

I'm not dinging this kid, per se.

This is the kid that replaced the 5-star linebacker on the Bob Jones team the previous year that signed with the evil empire down I-459. I really hope we offer him a scholarship.

Clay-Chalkville played Bob Jones two years ago in the playoffs. Darrin Reaves abused that five star.
