A taller, faster version of John Diarse. Like Diarse, Upchurch is a great kid from a top-notch family. Also like Diarse, he has great, great hands catching the football - even in traffic.
I know Dupre has better pure physical skills; and that Noil is electric with the ball in his hands; and that Quinn is the most polished receiver in many years. All three of them have a chance for stardom in college; no doubt. But Upchurch might have a higher upside than any of them. He has a great feel for the game.
At some point, recruitniks need to get off this "I want the instate guys!!!!" mantra. Take the best players - even if they are from Iran.

Problem with instate guys is that if we don't offer and they go somewhere else, then there is this perception that we lost him or a team raided LA for him. It's dumb bc obviously we let him go but it just fuels the fire for people who think the fence is broken.

Frank & Les are saying that we want you (Speedy, Quinn & Dupre) but if you don't commit soon you may not have a spot as we are still looking since you are still looking. Makes full sense to my pragmatic level of thought!
