T. Hunt asks a good question about this young guy...

[devoted2ru]

That being: Why does Jahsim Floyd out of Sayreville have no offers? -T.H. calls him the most dominant TE in NJ, and at 6' 7", 205 lbs., this kid could be an absolute animal once he's gone through a college weight training program.

Now I have no knowledge about his academic situation, (and nothing is mentioned by T.H. about it), so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, and I know highlight reels are designed to make everyone look good, but this guy appears to have some serious skills.

On film, he looks a little slow.

I watched him against Old Bridge last year and Piscataway this year and he had at least 3 to 4 drops in both games on very catchable passes....two of which would have been easy TD's.....he has the footwork and size, but would really take a lot of work to be at a B1G level.

 

[madchuck]

Built like a basketball player. Although I understand he can put on weight. He doesn't look super explosive for being 6'7 in high school.

 

[devoted2ru]

Well, he might not be an absolute burner, but he appears to at least have decent speed. And we are talking about a tight end here, not a running back or a wide receiver. -With his height, I think he'd be a real match-up headache for any DB's who would have to cover him. Seems like a real "under-the-radar" kind of guy to me.

Oh well, such is the world of recruiting.

 

[PaKnight]

The staff checked him out at the 7 v 7.

Wasn't aware of that. -Pretty much explains why the RU staff hasn't shown interest.

Don't think academics is a problem was offered by NJIT and Holy Cross in BB

Mr. Hunt needs to do a little better at his job and let others the experts worry about scouting.


(EDIT: please see my post down below regarding this comment. Thank you).

He isn't slow.

He is just really thin

Are you nuts...

Have you scouted the kid?

 

[Knight Shift]

He isn't slow.

Can he be both?
I am not trying to be tough on the kid, but in a couple of plays, the defenders appeared to catch up with him pretty quickly.

 

[late knight]

No block, no TE. Tall, slow WR.

 

[gef21]

He is a project. If we offered, and he was a bust, people on the board would rip ash apart.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Just wait as soon as Old Dominion offers every school will be all over this kid.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

No, but that has zero to do with my comment, thanks.

 

[SC1221]

The mods were at the 7 on 7 and said he didn't look like a D1 P5 level player to them.

 

[newell138]

Flood would have offered

 

[CNJKnight]

Probably because he's from Sayreville-the home of sticking your fingers in your teammates' butt!

 

[Knight Ed]

Maybe a walk-on type player?

 

[MozRU]

Finding enough talent isn't easy. Power 5 programs are going after the top 2% of high school talent. It takes more than just size, even though it is sooooo difficult to find 300lb Oline-men and 6'5 TEs who can move.

Check out a Div 3 game. Rowan, Montclair, Cortland, Ithaca - You'd be surprised how big those kids are.

To play in the Power 5, size is a foregone conclusion. You need exceptional athleticism.

Athleticism: speed, explosive first step, jumping power, vision body control = over everyone else.

 

[PaKnight]

Maybe a walk-on type player?

Or go the Juco route to get bigger and show that he could play TE.

 

[Kbee3]

Agudosi, part two ?

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

this is when 'stats' and 'football player' don't mesh. How many Emmit Smith's are out there?

you can't teach size

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

Alex Mr Nuts knows all and sees all. You didn't know that?

Relax there Zippy. All I'm saying is Mr. Hunt is not A SCOUT, he's a reporter, yet for some reason it appears as though he's doing some serious promoting/bandstanding for this young man. Seems a bit odd to me, that's all.

 

[WhiteBus]

you can't teach size

That was the reasoning that the Portland Trail Blazers picked Sam Bowie over Michael Jordon. Great strategy [eyeroll]

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

Nuts Zippy the Pinhead? That is the nicest thing you have ever said to me. Quite frankly I really don't care about the thread Just wanted to poke the bear. Hope you and those 6 ladies had a sweet new years. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[S.Brown]

I don't agree with him on Floyd but Todd is definitely one of the experts, without a doubt.

Ha! Had a blast, actually, me, another dude (he was dating my friend, the hostess), and 4 single ladies. One of them, let's say, helped me forget 2016 rather quickly, thanks!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Fair enough Shawn just seem odd to me, nonetheless, him putting out a piece like that that's all.

 

[StyleKnight]

After watching that tape you think he's a D1 player?

This is the reason I'm questioning T-Hunt's rationale for his article (aside from busting chops a bit in my first post...). It makes no sense. Gotta be more to it IMHO but, hey, I could be wrong.

you sure it's just Mr Hunt?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Rivals - Shawn Brown agrees that Hunt is over-assessing the kid's abilities
Rivals - not rated or ranked
Offers - only Monmouth

....you tell me? Am I, along with everybody else in this thread, missing something?

 

[Knightmoves]

Classless comment. You deserve time off from the board.

 

[phs73rc77gsm83]

I saw him twice and based on that limited sample, I think he appears a bit slow for WR and not physical for TE. I thought I heard or read that he is more into hoops but maybe I'm remembering this incorrectly. Anyway, I think size without athleticism is a work in progress. He could end up being a great player but Not a slam dunk. I'd have to go with the coaches' assessment in either case.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

My apologies as I was not aware the Todderick ran his own scouting service. I apologize for my comments re: sticking to his own profession.

Does't make this any less peculiar to me - and obviously others - however.

Seems like he likes to promote some guys, he talked up Justin Nelson long after RU moved on after he did not qualify.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

yup and there are examples of the opposite of that so what is your point? I mean, it's not like we've got any tall bodies to throw the ball too in the redzone unless you are watching a different team.

More often than not, great players come from 'poor stats'
