New Commit Maurice Purify II is N

On his show yesterday DB alluded to a player who may have taken Purify’s spot earlier in the cycle.

DB said something like, “handled the snafu with the other recruit, didn’t bellyache about it, handled it like a pro. Which now, by the way, they’re gonna be teammates, so that’ll be interesting.”

Anyone know what he’s referring to?

I mean there’s only two other WR. In that class nailin Scott and Larry miles
 
Sat next to a western Nebraska drunk and during the entire game when we were on offense he kept yelling: “Throw it to MO IN THE CO”

And then sure enough, Mo caught a tuddy in the CO and the guy lost his mind.

To this day my buddy says it was me yelling that, but I was black out drunk and don’t remember a thing.

It wasn't about a player taking his spot.

That is funny. Earlier this week, I saw a bunch of tweets recirculating of him having a monster triple jump. A few days later he is getting an offer.

I am sure Rhule will tell some story about some guy from Baylor that got drafted who had good HS track numbers.

Like Lloyd, Turner, and Charles for our first Nebraska class with Rhule. I think we only have one of those guys still here.

Not mad at this late addition if there's room sitting around though.

Coach Rhule recruits heavily on measurements, testing and/or track numbers. Love explosive numbers like shuttle, broad jump, and vertical jump. Loves himself track guys.


The quote from him I'll never forget, was something like "you have the body measurements of a NFL rookie and are explosive, your film doesn't matter, we'll offer and develop them into football players. I can't coach 10.3 speed, but I can coach you to catch a football."

That sounds like the people who see a Youtube video of some guy throwing a nerf football 120 yards and all the comments are about how he should be in the NFL.

Lloyd made some plays his first year. Who knows where he'd be on the depth chart if he'd stuck around. Charles is getting some mention among the top CB's. I think that's a pretty good batting average for diamond-in-the-rough type recruits.
 
So... how good it this kid? Surely someone here has seen him play.
I see he was Westside's leading reciever, which is not nothing. Better than taking a chance on some uber-athlete who has never made it happen on the football field.

Lloyd also couldn't get on the field for a horrible Okie st team

I've scouted Westside this off season because they're on our schedule next year.

From what I recall and I'll have to go back and watch, he didn't get a lot of targets on their on half of the field. It was mainly endzone shots or deep balls. A lot of fades and posts.

I think he had 1/4 of his catches for TDs and average was 15 yards a catch.

They played decent teams, 7 or 8 playoff teams, so he wasn't racking up stats vs bottom dwellers.

Lloyd is a one trick pony. He can run really fast past everyone. Thats why he made it happen at times as a freshman. He just never evolved and teams had no problem covering him then.
