Actually, IYO, what gives him an edge over Baker?

Better hands and deep threat guy....has great vertical and uses it to catch the ball at his highest point. And i think he has a bigger upside because hes really only got 1 year of football under his belt.

But thats just my opinion, im far from an expert

I'm gonna respectfully disagree with you here. His leaping ability (he's a basketball player so I'd be horribly disappointed if he didn't have that) and willingness to use his height to go up and get the ball stood out to me. Considering that this is his 1st year playing football, a redshirt year could do wonders for this kid. I'm excited to see how he turns out.

Reminds me more of Tim molton than Armand except not as scrawny and maybe not as fast.

That is a great highlight reel. He catches the ball like a receiver and knows how to block. He's also a very quick starter. No stars anywhere but that reel shows some talent. I trust the coaches on this one. Good get. He's also very well positioned to play a major role on this team.

Says his only other offers were La Tech and San Diego State...

I don't follow recruiting closely, but why Spears over a guy like Falkins?

Falkins is overrated imo...saban jumped the gun on him relly early because hes a louisiana kid

If la tech wanted him we should be good




certainly.

they have an offensive coordinator that's more creative, so if he wants to be here, he wants to be here....

His highlight is amazing!! Speed, acceleration, height, jump, catch in traffic, balance, vision after catch, you name it. He possesses all the aspects that a great WR should have. Man he should be ranked as a 5 star receiver for whatever it's worth.

This. Most recruiting experts, including one of the best, Frank Wilson, are very impressed by Spears.

And yes hes fast and has great hands


Really quick feet and shows great receiving ability and potential. Totally worth the scholly. Still think we need Quantavious in this class.
