This kid sounds really talented

sleeper of the class IMO.

Watched him alot, he's the real deal.

I wouldn't necessarily call someone who rushes and passes for over 1000 yards and scores 30 tds on a shitty team dime a dozen.

IMO he's a good pickup. Noone knew who chevis jackson was when he committed.

he dominated a fairly weak district in Shreveport... not uncommon

and again, he was effective at a position he will not be playing in college, so it's a total projection anyway with him

from Texas to south Florida, these ATHs really are plentiful ...I trust McCarthy/Miles because I like 99% of the playmakers they recruit, but it is very fair to be intrigued about what the staff saw in this kid for them to extend an offer... I'd just like to know, I'm not saying that negatively

well, shite, he better be the fricking sleeper of the class

Don't quite understand this post. Not about his measureables, if you watch his film you can see he has amazing potential. Why the hell do some of you people on here act like beyotches needing midol? Noticed a few of you just post to be antagonistic and rarely add anything.

Think this kid will be a winner. Very athletic and moves well in open field.

I see that "potential" regularly by ATHs in his mold..thats sort of the point

again, I never said he would suck ..just said I'd be intrigued by what the coaches liked about this under-the-radar kid that nobody else did

so do about 200 other kids around 6' 180 lbs. from TX to FL ...I watched about 6-8 of them in the state title games in the Citrus Bowl last month alone

a couple of scenarios:

- he gets converted to CB, which is the most likely scenario... he does appear to have good speed and hips, and prototypical size for he position

- perhaps he is a return guy or a gadget player... perhaps Wooten's replacement in this class

I don't see any way he won't redshirt

the kid is a mystery from the standpoint that he was so much under the radar and not heavily recruited and could project in several areas at the next level and nobody knows exactly what the staff has in mind for him and what they saw in this kid to extend him an offer out of the blue

it is intriguing and I would just like to know, which is the point to my posts in this thread

at least with a guy like Williford, for example, he showed some promise at camp that coaches felt like they could take his great size and frame and turn him into a solid OL

with a no-name guy like Claiborne who is a ATH, who knows what coaches saw in him and want out of him

CB all the way. He has good feet, hips, balance, and a smooth acceleration. In other words, he has the ability not to trip over himself when a receiver makes a cut and is able to quickly get back up to full speed. He is a very smooth and fluid player.

Have a question. When a kid like this stays under the radar for so long, what contributes to this? I mean was it the coaches not sending any tapes out? Our did he just have a great senior year? I don't get how someone so talented could be overlooked.
