'13 DE DB Jahmere Irvin-Sills

[HialeahGator]

committed to Barn

You did not want this kid anyway. The baggage following him and the NCAA probably looking at redflags is a signal to stay away.

This new powerhouse school is an online virtual school created because David Sills(father of young phenom QB who commited to Kiffin) and a few others got them pretty much kicked out of DE. They meet in a storage room owned by Sills for their classes online.

This is also the same school that Bigelow goes to to(USC commit) and K Rodgers(top OL recruit) who is now leaning towards AU. FWIW

All of this flat out smells fishy! I don't think that I would want ANY of these guys that go to this "new school". I know Bigelow looks like a beast and is probably worth the risk, but this sounds like every kid attending this "school" may be a headache to get admitted.

are based on total lack of information. Yes this is a "virtual" school, but they were not "thrown out" of Delaware nor are they an academic risk. The on line programs are in a classroom and supervised by an on-site, qualified tutor. Students are required to maintain academic standards that are often beyond more traditional schools. Most of the supposition and conclusions of both the previous posters is erroneous. Jahmere is a good kid who has been through more in 17 years than most experience in a lifetime, and he is a terrific athlete.
David Sills IV has put together a football school, but he has given hope of escape to many ghetto kids whose lives were basically hopeless. The move was because of school issues at Red Lion and not over any state issues.

I doubt they'll get in trouble. Kiffin knows what recruits will get him trouble. He stopped recruiting Cam Newton. That BS about him not fitting the system was just a spin.

People talk about how kiffin recruits, but he knows the lines he can cross and he wasn't gonna break bread for Cam.

If you're going to color within the lines, you have to know where the lines are. Kiffin not only knows where the lines are but outlines them with a magic marker so that technically he's inside and outside the lines.

Coach Thigpen stopped by to see Jahmere today. He will "certainly consider" the Vols moving forward, according to VQ.

He might have some baggage but it seems like he's go plenty of talent. Might be a little raw though.

Our secondary needs all the new blood we can find.

This is one of those kids that goes to a virtual school. It has no physical address and is currently being investigated. The school founder is the father of the QB Sills that committed to USC. Their christian group caused a major investigation and scandal at a school in Delaware they were funding and when they were basically disassociated with the father started a virtual school(online) in MD. The kids meet in a storeroom in his business and the football coaches are their class coaches to help them in the classroom. I would be weary of any kid from this school.

AU, USC, and WVU have been recruiting them hard, and many players will end up at DI programs. The players come from several states but play football for the school.

More importantly, can he cover a WR?

I read that and understand it, he's a risk, but how good of a player is he?

He would need a year or two probably to contribute. The real question is if the staff wants to take the gamble is the others players will any of them consider like K Rodgers or Bigelow. Or maybe it will help with future players because it will be a pipeline for talent as long the NCAA does not interfere.
