What was the Recruiting Buzz on Ronald Martin?

i like to compare ronald martin to norman lejeune, blue gay, and tracy porter. these are all players from the "westside" (port allen, brusly, white castle) who dont get much hype coming out of high school, my guess is its because the high school football programs from this area arent traditionally football powers in the state and they remain low key to media and outsiders (but not always to college coaches). they dont generally get the star power as some of the players from big time programs but turn out to be great college football players.

Shay Hicks was a huge fan of his coming out of camp two summers ago.

well heard coming in to the year, if any DBs got their red shirt pulled, it would be David Jenkins at CB and Ronald at S. They were both physically capable of stepping in and contributing, and now you get to see it. This should help with Landon Collins as well.

If I remember correctly, word was he lit it up at camp and Cooper wanted him bad. That was good enough for most people.

WTF dickhead???? i was just telling you why you haven't heard much about him because thats what you were asking for in your thread dumbass.... and by comparaing him to players like tracy porter i think that tells you what kind of ceiling he has u frickin douche! rap battles???

I personally am a huge fan of football players that are great basketball players, hence I was really high on Martin.

This is also why I loved Claiborne 3 years ago and why I thought Corey Webster would be a star. The theory rarely fails.

Well, you never know when the mysterious turf toe or hangnail complication can land a medical redshirt...

This is Mo Claiborne all over again IMO.

Best athlete on the field in HS, didn't get a ton of exposure or recruiting hype, comes into his own in college.

Martin is going to be a very good player, as evidenced by the fact that he's already playing his way onto the field as a true freshman.
