This is a great get if ND can land him!
3 stars are a crap shoot. Freeman is gambling that he and staff know how to identify and develop a group of 3 stars while still shooting for a 4 star core with an occasional 5 star.
Trolls are trying to get us panicked.
But there could be a 3 star like Darelle Revis or an Aaron Donald in the bunch, Time will tell.
3-4 in a CLASS is fine, but anymore than that and your asking for depth and talent concerns down the line on your roster. Need to develop a 4* CORE (16-18), while aiming at the 5* fits (3+) and sprinkling in a few (3-5) 3* prospects with great intangibles AND good measurables to work with from day 1. Don't quite understand all this troll talk from "Grown" men but last I checked everyone is supposed to be on the same side TEAM ND

The opposition in Canada is even more inferior! What are you missing about "weak" competition whether he was playing on Neptune. Playing schools like Venice, Palmetto, ACA and Riverview wont get it done at Clearwater. They played one good team and got whipped like 50-7! In a nutshell Clearwater opposition=Trash and Canada opposition=Dumpster juice
You can't teach a kid to have a motor. His is crazy. His twitch is explosive. He needs no development. He's ready to play now.
Reminds of a meeting I had with a coach and he went on and on about how much his Lineman can lift, and how fast they were, and how high they could jump. and, and, and....
That's when I asked, Can any of them play football? The knock on this kid is he's 6'1. Don't care - he can play football.
I don't want to mention anyone by name - but I'd take this kid over the 5* kid everyine is drooling over.
Of course you would.
You're clueless.
You were one of the mouth breathers who thought Junior Jabbie would have a break-out season based on the B & G game
Dope.

Also playing against very inferior competition in Canada hasn't translated for most players, but we had success albeit at a different position (Claypool).

One troll says 3 stars suck. You say he needs no development,
I say the kid deserves a chance. Let it play out.
The fact that tosu has a NIL war chest is concerning. But if the kid is a good fit he'll wind up at ND.
