Is Jacquelin Roy considered to be as good as Ishamel Sopsher?

Yes, still got to put work in, but the potential is good for all three...

Sops stock dropped cause he’s lazy. He has potential though.

Roy is better. Most Bama fans will agree unless they are being homers.

Let me put it this way, remember when Ricky Jackson and Hugh Green were both in college at Pittsburgh. Roy is RJ and Sopsher would be Hugh Green . Sopsher would get most of the hype because other teams would try to run away from Roy. Both very good players but I really think when all is said and done we got the better player. And

Do you think everyone on this board is 50 and above or something?

And no, I don't remember that.

Roy is trending up and at this time Sopsher was trending down. I could see Sopsher having the same path as Shelvin. High potential but will need to put it all together to be great.

Putting the cookies on the bottom shelf to help out the younguns on the board.
LINK think Honey Badger level disruption/ play maker on the DL.

Non-biased opinion on both.

Ishmael has physical tools you can’t teach and he’s a mountain of a man but he’s incredibly lazy. At 6’4” he carries 330 very well. If he puts his mind to it and bust his arse then he’s a 1st round talent. He always has an excuse though. He couldn’t practice at the all American game because he said the helmets were too tight.

Jaquelin Roy’s weight fluctuations let’s you know exactly how committed he is to devoting himself. Jaquelin hips are 10x better than Ishamels, could be due to the fact that Ish just bulldozes over guys. Jaquelin has a better get off, more violent hands and he’s much more aware of what’s going on.

Basically you have 2 guys that are top 50 level of prospects. Ishmael is ranked that high based strictly off of potential. Roy’s a ball player.

If it were up to me I’d take Roy 10 times out of 10. Especially with Ika.

I think Sop was looked at so highly because he was so over powering. Everybody that lines up across from you at the next level will be as big as you. And in his situation with better foot work.And:

Hype? Don’t kid yourself. At the college level, Hugh Green was a much better and more productive player than Ricky Jackson. He was a 4-time All-American and Heisman Trophy runner-up. Many people think he is one of the top 5 defensive players in college football history. There is a reason he was a top 10 pick and Jackson wasn’t taken until late in the second round.
