'26 TX ATH Legend Bey

[InVOLuntary]

Kind of an odd quote from him about “development is a factor” and this year we’ve finally seen the most development from our WR corps in arguably 5 years.

He's probably referring to developing his bank account.

Production isn’t development

How is development measured then?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Being an "athlete", I wonder if he got a vibe that he may be asked to play Safety or DB here?

If that's the case, i would have ran like hell too.

 

[jvols1999]

We are trading punches with OSU. We won last cycle they won this cycle. Means we gotta lock up DGG!

Still more head to heads out there with them. Dre Quinn, Micah Smith and Amari Latimer among them...

You must work for the Titans.

I didn't realize they were wanting him as a RB. Either way, I didn't like our chances with either. Ohio St has a lot more to sell and develop both a lot better than us. Hell, our best RB in years can't even get on the field in Cleveland. And of course it's an Ohio St RB leading the way

Hmm. Ohio St RB/ and WRs were a lot more talented than what we had to work with for years though. It’s two-sided imo. Our talent is just now starting to catch those level of programs. This year’s receivers have been developed by Pope, no questions asked. RBs seem to do well every year here. DGG will likely be the first really elite RB Heupel will have signed. Everyone else was developed.

I will be watching his rankings closely

You know how this goes...

 

[NighthawkVol]

Production isn’t development

No, production results from development.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

The man. . .the myth. . .the de-committer...

 

[volinbama256]

next week he will magically be a 5*

 

[MemphisVol3]

next week he will magically be a 5*

Def think he’s going to get a “timely” rating bump.

 

[LittleVol]

next week he will magically be a 5*

I’ve been saying for months that this kid was maybe the best prospect in our loaded class.

Sure he will get a bump, but he was always that good.

Hopefully he ends up with Tennessee in the end.

Improved position with Latimer?

There’s no one better than him at whatever position he decides to play…

He’s playing Slot WR for Tennessee if he went there.

Think “Peter Warrick” but he runs 10.2 - 100 meter.
He’s a matchup nightmare and these stupid azz recruiting sites don’t know jack sometimes…

He’s definitely one of the best 25 players in HS football.

I’ll save you the time. Immediate 5 star bump.

Good grief. BVS at its finest...

 

[Sandman Vol]

Good grief. BVS at its finest...

Nah not really, maybe shoulda used blue font, but it’s an ongoing joke that often appears true ala espn hates us.

BVS at its finest is being worried about beating the worst Florida team of the past 50 years. And I am. So yeah it’s flaring, but not because some high schooler went to the reigning national champions with possibly the biggest budget and argument for player development in the whole league. That just is what it is.

 

[rdk4121]

I wonder if he reopens his commitment once Hartline takes a HC job somewhere.

 

[Stacmot]

I know this will sound like sour grapes, but he wasn’t beating King out in the slot to replace Staley. Would’ve been fun to see what Heup could’ve schemed up for him. But Keys/Moa/King are the trio of the future IMO.

I think Jackson will be very good too! I know you are going by this years recruiting class but I think Jackson will be a stud!

 

[jasonvol18]

You just named two former 5star recruits and the #1 rb in the transfer portal. Those guys were going to be special wherever they went. Just like Jeremiah Smith would be the best WR in college football if he played at Wyoming.

5* doesn't mean anything. There's been Tons of 5* players end up busts Mike Mathews was a 5* and he's been decent, but nothing special so far. Brazzell and Stayley were ranked lower and have been way more impressive. Yes, it helps to have talent,no doubt. But, you still have to be developed and be coachable. That's something Ohio St does way better than us. I think it says what type of staff they have. I don't think I'd get an arguments that CJH's staff is far from elite, probably middle of the road in the SEC. Even the players that have been drafted under CJH and his staff have done little to nothing in the NFL. And of course there's still time for some to develop,but that doesn't help our recruiting. I really thought Hyatt would be special and he's done nothing. He could hardly get on the field on a horrible NFL team. We can't sell recruits on our system setting up players to be successful at the next level if they aren't performing.

 

[jasonvol18]

I wonder if he reopens his commitment once Hartline takes a HC job somewhere.

From everything I've seen, he's being recruited to play RB at Ohio St and Hartline isn't even his recruiter.

 

[jasonvol18]

Production isn’t development

Exactly! If it was, Hyatt would be killing it in the NFL. All it proves is the system is college player friendly.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Kind of an odd quote from him about “development is a factor” and this year we’ve finally seen the most development from our WR corps in arguably 5 years.

I mean we still have a pretty long way to go to take the WRU crown back though.

This is a bummer regardless.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

All I can say is Go Big Blue.
