I labeled his as an athlete because he is in the Trindon Holliday mold. He is a WR, RB, and has been used mainly as a return specialist. 5'9 185 He looks to be the fastest prospect in the nation with his 10.8 in the 100 and other track stats. 4.31 electronic timed 40. He is out of Miami Northwestern HS and is looking to be used like Trindon and also run track. He does not hold an offer from LSU yet but he has been receiving mail from us. Holds offers from Michigan, WV, Vandy, Ole Miss, and Florida Int. He plans to take an official visit to LSU. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSuPYFdFuGs[/media]
Looks good to me. He's a bit bigger than Trindon and runs MUCH better in traffic. Can't hurt to have a game changer like that returning punts and kicks.
If we think we will get Seastrunk, although we probably won't know for some time, then I don't think we will recruit him as a RB. I say this because they seem like they have similar styles and we really aren't accustomed to giving a scatback type the bulk of the carries. We already have Holiday and Calhoun, if we use him on the offensive side of the ball.
He looks super fast, but the thing that sticks out to me is that it looks like he sees the holes developing and hits the holes fast.
Yeah, he looks good. Lightning fast, but unlike Trindon, he can actually take a little contact without falling down. Good vision and hits the hole almost before it opens and then is through it and 10 yards behind the LB before they can blink. I think that we should take him regardless of whether we get Seastrunk or not. It could never hurt to have a guy like that on the football and track team. He's a bit of a showboat, but that can hopefully be corrected.
I'd still give Miami the edge..pending an offer, of course. I'll ask around to my Miami buddies to see where they are with him, but Miami Northwestern is basically a feeder school to the U; they get who they want from that school.
This kid is overrated. He transfered schools, from St. Thomas Aquinas, cause he wasn't getting playing time and doesn't get playing time at Northwestern either, he's fast but that's it. But Miami took 8 kids from Northwestern in '08 and no recruit that Miami has wanted from Northwestern has gone elsewhere since '03, so if they want him he will go to U.
