'13 CO TE Mitchell Parsons (Verbal to Vanderbilt)

[Buffnik]

Heh, nice one Wally.

Parsons has over a year before he steps on to campus. Any weight concerns are overblown.

Yeah. I'm not sure why anyone would be worried about the weight of a high school junior TE who is on pace to play his senior year at 235 lbs.

well, unless your just an ass...

A really interesting thing is that it appears Bieniemy was his primary recruiter.

[fwbuff]

I really want this kid to be our first commit. Do we have a name for the guy that commits first? I know other schools give them a nickname and they expect that first commit to go out and get other talent for the school. If we don't have a name for one, we need to think of one asap!

How about the Godfather?

Maybe someone with more computer savvy than me can superimpose Parsons' photo on the sign? I couldn't figure it out.

[White_Rabbit]

Nice! This kid is exactly what we're going to need at TE in the coming years. Welcome aboard Mitchell!

[pwbuffan]

This is a great get for the staff. Welcome to the Black & Gold Mitch

Good to see better results in state. I'd be happy with getting 2 or 3 of the top 7 in the state each year. I wouldn't mind seeing more OL success though.

Early high 3* on 247 Sports. Expect him to be rated a top 15-20 TE in the country by everyone.

[J-R-K]

ESPN gave him a 78 rating (upper-tier 3-star) and rank him as the #10 "Y" TE in the country. Not sure what the "Y stands for, they also have a seperate category of "H" TE's.

The Y is the type of tight end that is more of a pro style tight end that is a good blocker but may not be quite as athletic while the H is more of the pure athlete and 100% recieving tight end. For our system it sounds like the Y is the way to go.

Yep.

Think "H" as in H-back. That's what Embree calls our "move" tight end. It's where he had Thornton and now Slavin.

H=dallas clark Y=daniel graham

[Shldr2Shldr]

H=dallas clark Y=daniel graham

The Patriots show even a more drastic range

Y= Nate Solder (Athletic Run Blocker) H= Rob Gronkowski (Run blocker, but most effective in passing situations)

[J.R. Ewing]

I'm a little surprised Parsons is in the Y bucket at 226 lbs.

I only watched the first couple mins of his vids, but nearly every time he lined up as a WR. Hopefully he comes in ready to block
