He certainly is an SEC-sized LB already with athleticism and he's right down the highway. Lots to consider when evaluating a recruit - grades, character, injury history, accessibility (some coaches may not welcome certain schools due to past disagreements), love of the sport, family background, "handlers", past relationships, etc.
Sometimes recruiters may believe he's maxed out in high school and reached his ceiling. This happens often with workout warriors (mostly kids from richer areas) who overacheive in high school. Good recruiters can see this in body type, fluidity, flexibility, foot speed, attitude, football smarts, etc.
Beleive it or not, great recruiters even find out the diet of recruits. Athletes from poorer families tend to not eat as healthy or as much but can really fill out at a training table in college. The great recruiter envisions how some underpriviledged players will look in 2 years, not now necessarily right now.
Not saying this is Bimage's case, but something to think bout when watching the UIL playoffs the next few weeks.
Very good observations. Flexibility does seem to be an issue for him and that very well could be the reason he's not considered a top prospect. Obviously he can get away with playing a bit stiff in high school, but can get easily exposed at the SEC-level.Ags4DaWin said:
Looking at the film, he looks a little stiff and plays a little too straight up, makes it hard to get low, get leverage, and push through a good lineman. The lack of getting low could be related to the flexibility issue.
Very explosive when he closes in and good movement off the snap. If I was his coach I would recommend he take some ballet classes to improve flexibility. There is something about the way he runs that puts me off. There is a stiffness to it, that goes back to flexibility concerns. Looks like he has good instincts for the football though and takes good pursuit angles and doesn't give up on plays. Also looks like he can change directions quickly when needed.

Just out of curiosity, what do you see that causes you to doubt his flexibility? Not doubting your claim, just wonderimg.what you see.

I trust Chavis. So it's probably going to be ok lol
if you are going to use total yards to define the ranking then argue so based on scoring then you should probably use the scoring defense as the metric. It makes you sound less dumb.2thFixinAg said:
90th ranked defense in a conference with relatively low scoring offenses.
The worst and most inconsistent position on our defense is Linebacker. This has been the case for 3 years straight.
who is the position coach for LB?
who is in charge of a 90th ranked defense?
only thing Chavis has done was improve the first year here. when it was so horrible only way to go was up. And now it's right back to where it was. in the crapper.
If i changed the word scoring to "total" and give you a Midol will that ease your angst?Ragoo said:if you are going to use total yards to define the ranking then argue so based on scoring then you should probably use the scoring defense as the metric. It makes you sound less dumb.2thFixinAg said:

scoring points is what matters most and chavis was top 40 with a bunch of injuries the second half of the season. Outside of LSU we played worse teams post bama and our scoring defense dropped from top 25. Chavis didn't suddenly forget how to scheme.2thFixinAg said:If i changed the word scoring to "total" and give you a Midol will that ease your angst?Ragoo said:if you are going to use total yards to define the ranking then argue so based on scoring then you should probably use the scoring defense as the metric.

scoring defense is misleading for us due to the three patsies we played. Those teams often are kicking field goals if they are scoring at all because they simply can't drive a football field without screwing up against superior competition.Ragoo said:scoring points is what matters most and chavis was top 40 with a bunch of injuries the second half of the season.
