Posted via VolNation Mobile | I played OG at UT and while I agree that many things have to come together to be good, please consider this. A coach once told me"You think too much, by the time you think, it's too late. you have to react." Timing is achieved by practicing a play over and over until it's muscle memory, not thinking. A receiver having good hands and catching a ball is a gift, and not something that's easily learned from repetition. For a receiver, speed and hands are a fundamental talent. Busted plays might be another talent (brains), but timing and running good routes is a coaching issue. |

Explosive separation at the line of scrimmage would be next. Precise route running would be third. Catching the ball in your hands at nearly full extension (don't let the ball get into you pads) comes fourth. Then you need speed to score (so speed would be fifth in importance). Or just watch the episode of Game Changers with Micheal Irvin or film of Jerry Rice. That should do it for a young wideout. | I totally agree with most of this, except the hands part. In my mind it boils down to, good hands, then good brain, then good quickness off the line of scrimmage, then high end speed (top speed as opposed to acceleration). The problem that recruiters have is that brains and hands are difficult to evaluate off a highlight video. They don't show the bad routes or the dropped catches. | |

| Seems more enamored with Miami than he does anywhere else, but we'll see. I really don't know anything about this kid. | |

| I need to run over to Gables and run some interference. Pull the fire alarm or something. Maybe put him on some while he's here.
