no disrespect but Michael Turner is interesting in context of the WRs we typically sign. I wonder what Hankton sees in him, or maybe it's just a reflection of missing on primary targets like Coleman/Wesco

I saw the pictures from the splash and thought he was a grad assistant. Had no idea he was that small, I have not intel on ability either though

He camped twice to earn an offer. Hankton personally put him through drills and everyone saw the explosiveness. He clocked 4.3 at multiple camp settings, some even say he was clocked in the 4.2’s.

Yea I was actually at that camp too. I think they see potential because 4.3/4.2 doesn't jump out when you watch his hudl. Actually looks pretty good at safety

don’t think we lost Cam, word is most schools backed off.

Seems to be a theme with A$M. They throw around stupid money at 5* receivers every year likely because it’s the only way they can convince them to play there. Funny part is, half of them aren’t even there anymore.

That's why the '25 class will likely have 3 RBs in it. Great time for LA to be loaded at the position 4-5 really great looking prospects.

A lot of video of Hankton working with him is online

Odd gait and has skinnier chicken legs than Lawrence Keys. Maybe Kelly likes that

For the record, I at least see traits in Jojo Stone so this has nothing to do with rankings

interesting take. People used to say this all the time, but data shows they do not really have a type and never really did.


first question you ask about a WR, how does he win: kid is probably the fastest player in the state.

Atkins is expected to flip to A&M. Personally I have no problem trading Atkins for Devin Smith in this class if they can reel him in. Love his offer list.

Keeping Mack in the class but no Atkins .. interesting


Yeah Atkins is an 8&4 flip, but no sweat.

I think Harlem Berry is a little faster but that’s amazing company to be in.

Usually anyone who can go sub 10.5 is either the fastest or second fastest guy in the state. The fastest guy my senior year was right around that and played D-1 at a mid major and then Trindon Holiday came the next year or two.

I mean quality traits. Not a specific one

Jelani Watkins is a better example of speed unrefined

He’s a player that runs 10.5 100m and goes to one of LSUs biggest feeder high schools, if not the biggest. There is nothing interesting or out of the ordinary about taking him.

If you told me that wen close out with Colin Simmons, Cai, McKinley, Ty Singleton, Durham, etc……I’d say that losing Wardell Mack is okay.

Honestly, if you gave me half of those guys, I’d still trade.

Curtis? Good program but there are a lot of HS that produce more prospects in LA

Speed grows on trees around here. I just don't see traits from this kid that mirror the typical athlete LSU recruits at WR

Maybe he’s confused about just HOW FAST he is?? You can’t teach that type of speed

Yeah I’d say they are a good program. Their head coach is about to rank first in wins all time in the country for high school football and has sent countless kids to play college football.

I’m sorry but 10.5 100m does not grow on trees anywhere. He was easily the best player for Curtis last year as a junior and will add mass to his frame as he matures. Your takes are way off.
