Barton loves him Scouting Report EVALUATED 05/12/2020 Barton SimmonsDIRECTOR OF SCOUTING PROJECTION 4-7 RoundDAY 3 COMPARISON Will HernandezNEW YORK GIANTS Â Athletic-framed offensive lineman with broad chest, long arms, big hands and a lot of growth potential. Multi-sport athlete who has engrained movement skills, balance and coordination that shows up in pads. Good initial burst. Plays with natural pad level. Works to the second level with good angles to hit his landmarks. Delivers second level blocks while keeping his feet. Very natural footwork and agility. Plays really poor competition. Never shows a traditional pass set. Hard to gauge power because of body types he's blocking but shot put and discus throws indicate good power baseline. Will be raw initially in college but does show the tools to develop quickly. Extremely high upside prospect with the body type and traits to be a mid to late round NFL Draft pick.

Holy shit. 35 in the state? ahhh, eval by none other than Barton Simmons... got a 5 for his pass blocking grade. Their QB had 85 attempts. On the season. they don't throw. This is ... an interesting development. Â

I haven’t looked into this recruit at all so I don’t have an opinion on him, but I won’t be surprised if this is the guy they do it with this year.Â

Washington (the state) has three top 25 national recruits and it’s looking like UW may snare only one of them. It’s a rare year and opportunity for UW to have 3 five stars in its back yard. At least we’re keeping the five star QB but I don’t understand why Jimmy Lake, a defensive young new coach, can’t keep JT from the buckeyes.Â

May 22, 20205 yr I’m getting sick of missing on the extra 2-3 elite players we should be closing if our program was where it should be: Waddle, Browning, Dobbins, etc. Robinson was a great get but we really need to be getting 2-3 more elites every year to really be in the discussion as a top five program. I’m tired of waiting. We damn well better take the next step this year, if the season is played. I’m losing my enthusiasm.

May 30, 20205 yr The best pound-for-pound classes in modern recruiting history By STEVE WILTFONG.   May 28th In 10 years as a network, 247Sports has only had five recruiting classes finish with an average ranking per commit of over 94, with Ohio State’s 2017 class highlighted by the likes of Chase Young, Jeffrey Okudah, JK Dobbins and Wyatt Davis being the best pound-for-pound class in our history with a mark of 94.59 per signee. In the 2021 cycle, four programs are making a run at that haul Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes signed four cycles ago, beginning with Ryan Day and his Ohio State program sitting atop the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings highlighted by an average ranking per commit of 95.34. Beyond the Big Ten powerhouse, we have Clemson at 94.55, Georgia at 94.05 and Alabama at 94.03. https://247sports.com/college/texas/LongFormArticle/The-best-pound-for-pound-classes-in-modern-recruiting-history-147593710/  Mentioned in article: 2010 TEXAS: 93.90 Longhorns fans remember this class as the one that saw two five-stars commit on the same Friday — defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat and linebacker Jordan Hicks. Three other five-stars also made up the class, receivers Mike Davis and Darius White along with defensive end Reggie Wilson. This Texas class ranked No. 2 overall that cycle, on the heels of the BCS Championship Game loss to Alabama, and while it had some hits, it's not one that helped Texas continue a winning standard over the next couple of seasons. Edited May 30, 20205 yr by LTtxfan

June 1, 20205 yr not really recruiting related, but seems like worth posting ... Quote Dabo Swinney just said Justyn Ross will not play this season. Said there's no guarantee he can play football again. Has a congenital fusion that he was born with. It showed up in an X-ray this spring. Will have surgery this Friday. Terrible news for that kid. Hope he recovers fully - football or not.Â
June 1, 20205 yr The Green twins from Allen are on a run of Okie Lite picks. Anyone know why all their big early offers seem to be uncommitable now? Just the usual physically maxed-out suburban DFW thing?
June 1, 20205 yr USC got Miller Moss. He is three spots away from USC having two top 50 QB's in the class to go along with Jake Garcia. https://247sports.com/player/miller-moss-46051144/
