re: Committed: 4* WR Trey Palmer!

BOOM!

Where's the bump?
Or 247 story?

I noticed the new trend of kinda gravitating away from the Cameron-type "tall, jump ball on the outside" kind of receivers... though we recruited those super tall, high jumping guys and rarely used them in jump-ball situations. So ready to see more spread-oriented, inside short slants, outs and crossing attacks.

Terrace Marshall is a pretty big guy. He's not 6'5", but he's over 6'2" and has long arms.

Chase is 6'1" and Justin Jefferson is 6'2".

We aren't going all small ball.

We had a roster full of outside guys recently, and they are changing that a little bit with additions like Giles, Palmer and a versatile Chase. But still look at last cycle with Chase (6'1), Marshall (6'3), Jenkins (6'2) and Jones (6'4). All can play outside and Chase inside too. Very tall there.

What it really comes down to is getting the best in the state, and the fact is Lee and Palmer are the best WRs in the state this cycle bar none. Nobody else comes close to those guys at WR.

Palmer is right at 6'0 and Lee is 6'2 and very big bodied (210-215ish at least). Palmer can play inside or out, Lee is versatile enough to play other positions outside of WR even.

In the end, we dont even have to go outside the state for WRs anymore, there's just so many good ones right at our own doorstep, it's just a matter of securing the top 2-4 guys they want each cycle there. For 2020 class the state has 8 4-star WRs right now, it's crazy.

Awesome news. Kid should be a good one

Speed/Quickness: 9.5
Palmer’s speed is his strength—making him one of the nation’s premier deep threats at the wide receiver position. While he does possess somewhat of a long stride, he still possesses tremendous initial acceleration and top-level lateral quickness, which is somewhat rare for a guy with a track stride.
Palmer utilizes his speed and quickness in just about every aspect of his game. He has become really good utilizing the speed release when faced with press coverage, and once he gets on the defenders hip, he almost always pulls away. He is very smooth in his movements, so his speed can be deceptive. Palmer possesses legitimate 4.4 speed.
When the ball is in the air, Palmer shows another gear allowing him to separate from the defenders at the top of his route.

Is he quicker than fast?

Am I off base by saying that he reminds me of Michael Thomas (OSU, now saints WR)?
