    Jimbo will do well at Fla. St. Recruiting is the start.

    Why do you hope he plays better than that at FSU?? :confused: He, like Jimbo, is nothing but Tiger Bait to me. I don't give two #$&*! about either of them. :cool:

    I wouldn't use a single game to determine if he is overrated or not. He may be but his offense was a mess with Ely coming in and out of the game and the rest of the defense playing horribly. Also he could play a number of positions at the next level and I see him being a pretty good defensive player if he doesn't pan out at RB. I actually prefer him on D. Really gifted all around and showcased his D and O that at multiple camps this summer.

    Very strong kid that is for sure, but if you watch any film at all of him, anyone with two eyeballs can see he is not a RB. Even at LB or DE I think the kid will have issues at the next level, way too stiff and moves upright.

    FSU is really the only major program that was willing to give him a legit shot at RB.

    Great overall athlete, just lacks a true position.

    The whole defense looked bad but all the film I saw during 7on7 showed a very good skill set.

    Also FSU was not the only major program willing to give him a shot at RB.
