I don't even have to watch a bit of their highlights.

Battle wins just for having Trick Daddy's "Take It To Da House" playing on his

Wasn't trolling. I've heard staff is taking only either battle or Johnson not both and it's whoever commits first. But not 100% sure

how is a 6'2 DB with that offer list a 3 star?

No recruiting service knew how to scout him, as a CB or S, hints his low rankings

Paris says he's all cb but i think he'll eventually play safety.

Once he's on campus he has no say so in what position he plays. I think the coaches will move him

I know Shea has said they are both takes. I don't think it has recently changed but who knows. I would take them both and hope Johnson brings Valentine along with him

Hallandale has a history of players busting out. My guess is these sites take that kind of stuff into consideration more than we think. Take Imokalee HS and Naples HS for example, if there is borderline studs at those 2 schools, they will be rated a bit higher. Something in the water.

Yeah I ink they take both I just remember hearing that a couple weeks ago. If it had to be one, I'd take Johnson strictly because valentine could come with

If anything they would do what they did with Russell Shepard, and let him try CB first, let him struggle, and let him decide on switching to S because he would have better opportunity there. They will definitely work him out as CB first.

Either way, we usually cross train our twiner DBs. It helps them understand their assignments, and gives them versatility if injuries arise. Look at Brandon Taylor and Tyrann Mathieu

If Paris is good enough at CB, then he'll stay there.

My favorite example of this kind of thing was Stevan Ridley, who had lots of offers to play FB or LB. We promised him that he could play RB, and that worked out well, even though everyone thought he would get moved.

I think we also will take Johnson and Valentine if his grades are in order. Too much talent to pass up. Miami leads for Valentine right now, but Brick will stay after him. He is easily a top 5 DT, IMO.
