TitanTiger 20,481 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have a feeling his rating is going to go up. He transferred to a new school and hasn't been evaluated like some of the others, which is why his offers didn't come until late. But right after we offered, bammer offered and he has an offer from Tennessee as well. I'm excited about this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedchickenman 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 For Comparison's sake, here's Darren Bates (2 star DB) Ht: 5-foot-11 Wt: 195 lbs Forty: 4.5 secs Bench max: 325 pounds Vertical: 38 inches Here's Dre Kirkpatrick (5 star top rated DB in country) Ht: 6-foot-2 Wt: 180 lbs Forty: 4.5 secs Bench max: 230 pounds Vertical: 30 inches Now of course this obviously wouldn't be the full workout statistics but these are the ones that I found that compare the two..looks like a diamond in the rough to me, beat Kirkpatrick in weight, tied in 40, beat him big time in bench and in vertical. I know you can't measure recruits just by what they do in the weight room but obviously this guy has to be a lot better then what the recruiting sites thought if he picked up an Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee offer all in a matter of days.

OldNewby 27 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 There was a fishing tackle store in Kingsport, TN whose slogan was "Home of the Master Baiters." A guy named Zane Miller owned it and he was one of the funniest men I ever had the pleasure to spend some time with. He kept anyone within earshot laughing out loud.

Glad to hear my 8 year old boy's sense of humor didn't go unnoticed. And on that point, good night good sir, and War Eagle to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
