re: Kevin Spears (4 star on Rivals)

His speed is not sec caliber. Not sure what everyone else is looking at.

Watch his highlights again and tell me if you see the speed required to get seperation in the sec.

I really can't tell exactly how fast he is from the highlights that we all have. I see him during the snap, and then he comes back into the picture while the ball is coming down.

Off the line, I can see a great burst. Can you see that? At the end, when the ball's coming down, I see that he's run the correct route and gotten enough separation to beat his defender for the ball.

I expect him to become a lot more fluid and precise in his route running after he gets here. Again, he just started playing football, in general, compared to like every other WR that's 4-stars+ on Rivals.

Also, Landry does NOT have great speed or height. He has pretty good route running ability and exception hands. Spears does not appear to be obviously slower than Landry, and his has about a 4-inch height advantage. I don't expect any of our WR commits to have Landry's hands.

What's the problem?
