And I am no coach or expert so someone can correct if I am wrong... but he seems like he was very upright and took on those blocks very high. Good thing was that he appeared to be going against bigger guys so he should be use to that once he gets to AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing was that he appeared to be going against bigger guys so he should be use to that once he gets to AU. Likely because he's strong enough to get away with it. When I watch defensive front-7 players in high school that's typically their biggest flaw is having too high of a pad level. If he were pass rushing like that I'd be more concerned but I agree that he can work on getting more of a lean/lower angle when engaging blockers. War Eagle.

weathergeakal 283 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 So.. Yall think he is staying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 This recruiting class was going to take us to the top, but of course we stink it up. All we had to do was beat the teams we were supposed to this year. Here we are hovering around .500 during the easiest half of the schedule. We need this recruit and this class. We miss on this, then we are in trouble when our guys leave this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,668 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 We dont "need" Pickens but itd be demoralizing to lose him. Although the last 2 receivers we had on his level were criminally misused so it is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the last 2 receivers we had on his level were criminally misused so it is what it is Yes, we do “need” Pickens. We need someone that can replace Slayton and catch a freakin deep ball. The only time Slayton is catching the ball is if he is a few steps behind the defender and even that is not a gimme. He doesn’t have the ball skills to consistently win jump balls. Pickens has that ability. We need more playmakers at every position. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. the problem with that train of thought is that we already have guys like that on this roster....Just because we got this guy on the roster doesnt mean Gus would necessarily play him. Noah could've been that last year, McClain is supposed to be a moss god, Sedrick Jackson got rave reviews for his ability to beat someone up high, Seth Williams showed the ability, obv Schwartz, Matthew Hill, I could really go on. Eli Stove is more than fast and wasnt ever used for anything except sweeps. Do I think Pickens would be used in some capacity just on sheer talent? Obv. But you're expecting a guy who has done the atrocities I just listed to automatically use someone for more than whatever purpose he deems they're supposed to have? He could deem Owen as a crossing routes, Will Hastings upgrade. That would be Owen's primary purpose for his 2 years before transferring out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to ellitor, once a recruit commits to a school the crystal ball people rarely go back and update their picks unless there is news of them flipping. So no worries. He is solid to AU at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Also FTR after a player commits a picker can't change his choice unless they are predicting a new flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
