Well... typically these things go a while.  I posted in anticipation of a little bit of a grace period, but was wrong.  A few posts up, I suggested the mods keep the other thread.  Kind of thought it was weird there was no open thread for it.  You may neg me to offset any positive karma that I receive.  Or call me a stupid goat fucker or something.  Doesn't really phase me.

Kid looks like a short tight end...looks built. 

Sad to say, but his OSU offer, especially for a WR, is very impressive

Is that an honest assessment, Magnus?  Curious to know if you're not excited.  I base my excitement level off of offers, and his offer sheet was pretty solid.

My main concern with his video is competition. He could just be that big/stout of a kid at WR/DB but he looks so much bigger than everyone else. That always concerns me when I see a kid dominating at HB/WR against defenses where the DL is smaller than they are, etc. It may seem counterintuitive but I like to see skill position guys do work against other kids their general size. If two kids are 6-1 175+ and one of them is taking the other to school play after play you know it's talent. That kid's just blessed with more speed, quickness, strength, football IQ, etc. It's really the same for any position but the skill positions really concern me regarding that (I'd add OL/DL as well). QB, LB, true DBs & specialists can be scouted no matter who they play against, IMO. Hawkins' film didn't pop out at me but he could be that thick, sure handed Hemmingway type of WR as I'm not familiar with the league he plays in.

I'm still unsure about competition level but I finally watched some video of his play beyond a couple minute highlight film and he's just a good sized kid. I didn't even read the hello post on the front as I've made it a point to try to distance myself from recruiting compared to how I was from '01-13. It seems the consensus is what I'd hoped and he's just that thick & a Junior Hemmingway type WR. I'll take it! ha
