The Blue Board

Got ya. Cool. If he goes to UM, you got a good one.

Yeah i think we both believe you

But it helps you guys that none of the big 3 have been on him yet

He likely will go to michigan

FSU is practically done at WR for 2014 already so you ain't gotta worry bout them

All depends on O'Korn's play. Gotta see him produce against starters.

There really is no reason that Hoza Scott isn't a 5 star.

All 25 kids LSU signs in 2014 are gunna be top 200 kids

Sounds like Texas is pretty slow to me... ANd nt impressed when a kid is considered fast among the slow... Rrely agree with Nova on but lately i guess he just has been rational even if the presentation is off. really doesnt make sense for a kid who primarily highlights his rb skill set in a 2mi video to be named best cbin his class. Especially when his athletic ability is you are basing most of his rating off of isnt that impressive.

...

Watched him play live ? As a sophomore in HS ? Who gives a shit brah

All i said was he ain't no 5 star yet and proclaming him as one is beyond early based off what we know

JC said he doesn't attend camps much

Gerry gave some random track facts that were called out for being average at best by a dood with " track " in his screen name.... This tells us he can run pretty fast in a straight line with no pads on for a kid his age/size

He has a very short video of highlights, mostly of him playing RB

And this warrants a #3 ranking overall and ranked as the best DB ? Im truly lost by this logic

Im not saying the kid sucks

What am i butthurt about ?

I take nothing from camps

But again, what are we basing his 5 stars on

Nobody has said

Best player on a loaded team in jersey ? Fail

Runs in the 4th and 5th place range in track ? Not even sure why this brought up but football fans love them some straight line running in no football gear

But hey, if you are okay with handing out 5 stars like candy then by all means

I think its utterly retarded

And having him ahead of kids like Daub, Michel, Scarborough, Fournette and a few others is just hilarious

Not sure I agree with you about Peppers but I absolutely agree that "the state you play in and the level of competition" needs to carry much more weight on this site. I remember when I spent the summer of 1989 in Lake Worth, FL back when I was 14 and I was basically shocked at the number of kids my age that were as fast as me as I was almost always the fastest kid in my age-group and usually 1-2 years older while growing up in Central Alabama (Montgomery)..... This "regional" difference was further established in my eyes during my freshmen year in college when I could almost tell what region of the country kids were from based on their explosiveness, fast-twitch burst.

There is a WR in the 2013 Class from a "northern" state that I recently saw compete in a camp and he is overrated.....I assume because he "looks fast" while playing against kids that are "not so fast" in his state as he didn't look explosive when competing against kids from the south with virtually little to no pub from recruiting organizations. Make no mistake....terms like "Florida Fast" are applicable in real life....sorta like Jamaican sprinters are just fast in disproportionate numbers.

I'd double/tripLe evaluate northern "speed", skill athletes because northern fast does not equal southern fast.

There is a reason Big Ten schools attempt to mine the South for speed.

******I'm still LMAO at JC saying that slow a** Kelvin Taylor is "dynamic". A kid that runs 12.2-12.4 range in the 100m dash (did run an "outlier" 11.34 in 2010 in which every athlete in the race ran their PR by at least .5), has "questionable" hands and "average" at best shiftiness is "dynamic" tells me to think twice before actually giving any credence to his skill athlete evaluations. 12.2-12.4 is good for a 7th grader .......NOT the #1 RB in the nation. Helps to have a famous father and play against small classification competition. Taylor is neck & neck with "fragile" Thomas Tyner as the most overrated 2013 prospects.

Peppers ran sub 11 a bunch of times according to dyestat. Also sub 22 in the 200 several times as well. Kid is fast.

Remember he's only a Soph. And regardless, this was all in response to someone who thinks Peppers is slow, despite never having watched him play.

There are a lot of concerns around the football talent. A LOT

You mean his football talent or coaches concerns about his character?
