McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is it me or is 6'2 180 pretty big for a sophomore CB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Depends if he continues growing. My youngest son was 6' 150 pounds as a Freshman. He is now a Senior and is 6' 180 pound. Had his burst early then stopped. One of his best friends who was 4 inches shorter as freshman kept growing every year as a Sophomore was 5'11" as a Junior 6'1" and as a Senior at start of year 6'2" and is still 6'2" each kid is different. Now this kid has room to put on muscle which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is it me or is 6'2 180 pretty big for a sophomore CB? Could be .....but he's just growing boy....should be near 200 by the time he is out of HS at this rate....future safety perhaps...or wherever? Getting an early start to grab his interest. Wonder if he has a ride scheduled in Gus's new beemer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,066 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is it me or is 6'2 180 pretty big for a sophomore CB? Definitely big for a sophomore, I can't see him staying the size as a cb. Could be an excellent center field safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an excellent center field safety I was wondering if maybe that would be the plan. Heck, 6'2 is tall for an NFL corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Is it me or is 6'2 180 pretty big for a sophomore CB? Yes. This kid's recruitment is going to blow up. AU offering so early has put AU in the drivers seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some here that believe every recruit AU signs is going to grow at least another 2 inches if they seem to be too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most high school sophomores haven't stopped growing, and as I previously mentioned, 6'2 is already big for a cornerback even if he doesn't grow another inch (or ounce).

Barnacle 9,064 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Is it me or is 6'2 180 pretty big for a sophomore CB? Definitely big for a sophomore, I can't see him staying the size as a cb. Could be an excellent center field safety I was wondering if maybe that would be the plan. Heck, 6'2 is tall for an NFL corner. I think Richard Sherman is the tallest corner in the league at 6'3". That being said, even though we've been seeing more and more tall corners in the league, I think that ceiling typically stays around 6'2-3". 6'3" is definitely more typical for a safety. 6'2" is probably 50/50, but someone would have to look into the NFL rosters to confirm that - its just what I think. If it swung one way or the other, I'd say there are definitely more safeties than corners at 6'2"+. Also, it's just as well within reality to say that a sophomore will continue to grow as it is that he won't. There aren't any reality checks needed around here.

If you look at my original post I talked about my son not growing but one of his best friends continued to grow. Statistically more boys keep getting taller after the sophomore year then stop there. All I was trying to say is you just never know for sure. I never said this kid was not going to continue growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I was trying to say is you just never know for sure. I never said this kid was not going to continue growing. I think he was responding to the reality check comment from 80Tiger, and his comment in general. What you are suggesting is that its reasonable to believe that a sophomore will continue to grow (or not grow). 80Tiger's comment made it sound unreasonable to expect that a sophomore might continue to grow.

He may or may not grow more, but he is already taller than many that play this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,066 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 6'2" no. 6'4" probably so. Different people grow at different rates though. I myself grew around 4 inches from sophomore to my senior year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself grew around 4 inches from sophomore to my senior year Question is would he maintain the flexibility in his hips to play CB at a high level at 6'4 or would he have to change positions?

cole256 17,066 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Exactly. I think if you're playing a man scheme 6'3" is the max I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird 60,525 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I would be surprised if he maintained flexibility and hip speed at 6'4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
