The most dominant LT prospect you have ever seen? How many blue chip LTs have you watched?

He has everything you look for in a prospect, but when I watch him play, I just don't see dominance. Is he a good prospect, of course. But if you just went to a WM game and didn't know about all the hype surrounding the kid, the only thing that would really stand out is his size. He is just so much bigger than everybody else and you would expect him to simply maul and manhandle people. He doesn't do that with any degree of consistency.

There's quite a few people who think he's overrated and it has nothing to do with him going to Bama. I wish the kid well but IMHO he shouldn't be anywhere near the #1 recruit in the nation.

Completely agree with this statement. You see a flash here and there of what could be. Just no consistency. If he weren't so big, I'd say that he sometimes disappeared during the first 2 games this year.

Quite a few. I'm a camera man and I shoot usually two High School games a week, a College game and every Saints home game. Last year in W. Monroe I was shooting from the tower in the endzone and he was the one player on the field that your eye would gravitate to because he was beasting every play. My director had me Isolating his shot for much of the game because he was so dominant that night.

This is exactly what I was at the game last season and he was far and away the best player on the field.

I haven't seen any of this overrated talk until he committed to Bama. From what I've seen out of Cam in that game and at a camp I filmed, the fact that he chose Bama has everything to do with this "overrated" talk.
