Who’s better than Davis? Toles, Lewis or Harris? Hamptons gone.

Jontre Kirklin today with 4 years in a college weight program who knows the schemes is a better athlete and option than Derrick Davis.


So just to be clear, Davis is assumed to be a better athlete/player than guys like Lewis and Harris who’ve had 4 yrs in a college weight program and know the schemes but he’s also assumed not to be a better athlete/player than Kirklin because he’s had 4 yrs in a college weight program and knows the schemes? I guess that makes sense if you don’t think about it

He said he worked there, and talked to the kid about it. The kid felt like S was a better fit for him. Kudos to the staff trying it out, and then talking to the player. I also LOVE the idea of getting some of the guys like Kirkland and Palmer in the mix in that spot. Maybe for situational or match up aspects. Those guys can fly right out the shoot so a swing, seam, or screen from them could be nasty. Find ways to get playmakers the ball.

Have you ever watched any of them play?

Let me make it simple for you: Dj Welter, Kendall Beckwith and Duke Riley


No matter how long welter was in any program he wasn’t better as an upper class man than Beckwith. Simply wasn’t capabale.

Duke Riley was never better than Beckwith with similar developments.

But if Duke Riley was a senior and Beckwith was a freshman or sophomore then Duke Riley would have been better.

Not all people are created equally. It’s a pretty easy concept.

From the video that looks more like Deion Smith taking reps with the RB’s

Thats a great trot down memory lane, but no one knows that about Davis yet. People said that about Savion Smith, Kardell Thomas, etc...

O also talked about figuring things out at safety, tryin Ward back there, etc... Sage is coming in the fall and SI thinks he'll start opposite Harris. We just need to wait and see how things shake out, but I think its insane to suggest that O is stunting this kid's development by letting him take a few snaps at RB in the Spring. LOL

That is the core of it. Great observation. In the fall things will be different. Spring is the time to experiment and get work. Nothing wrong with moving players around right now.
