Too lazy to watch the videos but seems like he's got talent and would love to see him in BLACK and Gold...not Silver and Gold.

Man, he looks good. Made some really acrobatic catches, definite deep threat.

Also MVP of the Pierce 7 on 7 tournament.

Great hands. But I'm not sure if his arms are long enough.

[buffman60]

Kid looks like a stud. Looked like he was constantly being double teamed, and he just found ways to get open and catch the ball.

[Highlander27]

He's a taller slot style receiver that we've seen more recently like Welker & Jordan Shipley. Great feel for the zone, how to read and find it's seam. Proactive with the ball in the air, comes back to get it vs. waiting for it. I would have liked to see him pluck the ball out of the air more but he pretty much makes all grabs.

Nice size, good speed, another solid kid from Cali. I wouldn't be sad if we landed him.

[Darth Snow]

what highlander said. I wonder how quick he is to be a slot receiver, but he sure does have a nice top speed once he gets about 15 yards into it. Also, great feet on those comeback routes.

Thanks. I didn't see that. We should treat message board content from premium boards as premium info, though. Unless Adam tweeted it, too, it should wait until it ages 24 hours, goes into the Spruce profile on Rivals that everyone can see, or gets reported from a second source.

As much as I want AllBuffs to get everyone the info on the Buffs, we need to also respect the pay sites we depend on for our info.

(I meant this generally, too. Wasn't directed at Snow so much as I used his post as an excuse to post this reminder.)
