Just wondering.... If this is a NO kid, was this part of Frank Wilson's conquests? This guy is the next PP..... maybe not on returns, but he has INSTINCT! Just wondering if this was a kid from the camps, or someone we had our eyes on locally for a while.

He reminds of Mo Claiborne in that he wasn't very highly recruited but will see the field soon and often. A steal like Jacob Hester who was only a two-star

Tons of rantards came on here bashing Miles for taking him.

Then he blew up a Tennessee camp and became known as "The Truth" and everyone shut up.

I don't think this is even up for debate. He will probably be better than PP statistically, before he leaves.

I think you are right, maybe it was that his offer was out before that and people were bitching that we offered an undersized DB with no major offers.

Regardless, the rant was once again, wrong.

This

UT Fans were in an uproar that they did't offer, because he was coming to BR next and would likely get offered .

That's how I remember it.

He was a "cornerback only" in high school. He really did not play another position and "project" as a corner, so I think he was overlooked by the major recruiting services.

This too.



From what I remember... he wasn't on our radar at all. (By Our, I mean recruiting board) Then he gets an offer and commits. Rantards lose their shite! People said they heard he had an awesome camp and that's why Miles offered him. Rantards continue losing their shite saying we shouldn't offer every D. Blackmon who has a good camp. Then we found out he had an offer from Tenn because he had a good camp their too. Rantards lose shite to a lesser degree. Then he gets re-evaluated by rivals, ends up in the Rivals250 and Rantards can't wait to praise him and say how his talent will be lost because Miles can't coach him up.
