My favorite attribute of his is his pass catching ability. He's a natural WR in that he almost always uses his hands (no unnecessary cradling to his body), no sign of double clutching or bobbling, grabs the ball at its high point, and genuinely seems unaffected by catching in traffic and with defenders draped on him.

I thought the Florida staff had cooled on him though. Is he still a legit prospect at this point?

Rumor was grades were a big concern, but he always liked UF. Sign & Place?

This. Remember Reggie "Freakin" Nelson? It would be awesome to have him available next year, but if hecdoesnt qualify I want him in a GATOR uniform someday.

It seems like nobody really knows. The staff still keeping tabs on him. Stacey is just starting to go through the recruiting process. He took a visit to Miami's campus this weekend.

I like what I saw in the clips, though it's not as impressive as the skills combine vids I saw a few months ago. What I so see here that impresses me is some excellent open field running skills. He's got long arms and really long legs for a guy his height. Seems to adjust his speed a lot, starts some of his routes at a jog, drawing the defender closer to him, then exploding downfield when the ball is in the air. Reminds me of Wes Chandler.

One thing I'm not sure I like is the he is a big time clown. He toys around with the other team, slowing down within ten yards of the end zone, sometimes even falling down as he crosses into the end zone. Love the way he moves though. Amazing leaping ability body control. Can't recall a high school player with such soft hands. Maybe Darrell Jackson?

His recruitment has seemed so odd to me from the start. At first everyone said Bama, then he seemed to like Florida, then people just stopped talking about him. I assumed grades for lack of a better answer.
