Let’s get some updates. I’m out and can’t watch. Big OT we are in on who is announcing I read. Update - Jones is a Gator! HUGE Get!
Go Gators. Have two other commits playing today as well. Webb has a TD catch. Lagway is there. Just saw an interview on sideline where he was in the background
Jones is a big OT (6'8 325) prospect from Louisiana. Good get for Billy Napier and Florida's offensive line. Caden Jones, De La Salle, Offensive Tackle
I hope he enjoyed that chomp. Its the last one he'll be able to do without the yellow hankie flying. Of course had he gone to one of our rivals, it would have been totally fine to chomp.
I tend to agree with this take, though I think he will still redshirt and can use the extra year or two. Word is that he concentrated on basketball earlier in his youth and has only been playing football the last couple of years. Regardless, with the exception of a very few, offensive line is probably the most difficult position to rank high school recruits. Physical development, even with existing size, is an ongoing process. I would suggest that only QB requires the level of learning/mental capacity of offensive line. Not surprising that so many 3-star OL can become really good players and even make the league.
Nah, so long as we don't do it in the face of an opponent of the field or their bench then it's okay.
If I had more time when I posted my take on him I would have said he's both. He's already better that the 3 * star ranking he's getting, but on the same token he has a HUGE up side, literally and figuratively speaking, to where what he can achieve at the next level.
