Better skills then brunelle will have..... He is quicker, tough to teach that. Finke was just brutally missed recruiting because of the offense he played in during HS.
Yes Renfrow is the reason their crazy elite 5 star WRs got open. Donte Vaughn was so concerned with renfrow he was peaking inside and let them make incredible catches for TDs against him.
Yeah I saw that....
how can you possibly say that about a kid who is still in high school ? how can you possibly predict how he will develop ? thats just dumb.
What is dumb is people thinking "oh so and so will come to ND and because of the program get significantly quicker or faster"
Please post his film of him destroying people. Please post his 4.48 forty. Maybe there's something out there i haven't seen. I saw 4.57 as his fastest 40. His HS film is awful, his ND camp film is average at best, he makes tough catches after pushing off. He gets absolutely NO separation in any of his film, even HS.
Post good video of him. His supposed best video is at the ND camp, he gets no separation, pushes off, then makes a tight catch during drills where the WR has a HUGE advantage.
Tyree is a huge get. Bush is a generational get.
The video I saw, he made tough catches no doubt, i'll give him that, but he used his body and pushed off a lot too while getting minimal separation. You can't rely on that in college, especially when the QB has pressure, there won't be such accurate passes since in the drills the QB has no pressure. It really helps to have the ability to get separation, you don't want to risk throws hoping the guy holds off the defender. He's way more physically developed than HS Dbs he was going against, he won't have that luck in college.
Sure but he was being recruited as a Safety, his lack of speed was alarming for the safety position. I see the same with Brunelle. I think he will struggle at WR, but could be a lethal STs player.
so only elite level speed guys are productive ? that's even dumber than your previous post. i can name tons of guys who had average speed at the wideout position and were tremendously successful. you're basically writing the kid off from a few snippets of film. talk about detailed analysis....
exactly. many, many players have increased their speed as they physically mature and receive specialized coaching. try telling a guy like Tom Shaw a player can't get faster or quicker. we're not talking about an Olympic 100 meters here.
I've never seen a high school WR get less separation and go on to be extremely successful in college, as long as they got those opportunities in HS. There's all sorts of components for athleticism, he excels at the body control and balance aspect, that allows him to make tough catches. He doesn't have good quick twich movement or the ability to get in and out of breaks, or the ability to get to his top end speed quick, because of that, in his videos, he struggles to get separation.
I make more than most of NDs coaches, why would I take a demotion?
Did you just say paul longo improved someone's speed? That in itself is hilarious.
We're also not talking about o linemen that lose 50lbs of baby fat and turn that into muscle.

maybe more than the womens ping pong coach ?I make more than most of NDs coaches, why would I take a demotion?
You say a lot of things with confidence for which you have no justification. For example, believing Paul Longo was always a bad S&C coach and not just in his final years when he developed a significant physical illness is ridiculously wrong. Second, I didn't give credit to Paul Longo for developing WF's speed, WF did and he did so in multiple interviews, not just the one I linked to (by the way, a "link" is a good way to back up a claim. Are you able to back up yours?) Third, WF was not considered a speedster when he was recruited by anyone including WF, not even after he grew 2 inches. Fourth, if you don't know that "speed" isn't the same as being tall then I can't help you. You can't teach height, but you most certainly can teach speed. There are a lot of potentially fast guys that have terrible running technique or terrible physical conditioning that can be taught one or both and reach a potential that they never would have reached if left to their own devices.
Held off and tried to flip impact recruits like Mcmillan, heck even henning, and others. I'm more dumfounded we took him with how many WRs are on the roster that seem to be pretty good, and didn't take Simon because of our numbers despite maybe not having the quality on the roster.
My track record (in my head lol) is pretty darn good. I remember having this same conversation about Robby Parris, and getting absolutely roasted. People claiming he was going to be just like Jeff S. I was on the opposite spectrum saying if we need to rely on Robby Parris at all ND is in trouble. Now I think Brunelle has slightly more talent than Paris, but the same quote remains. If we ever need to heavily rely on brunelle at the WR spot, I think our offense will be in trouble. I've been hyping claypool since we signed him. He hasn't performed consistently the way I've expected for multiple reasons, but we'll see what happens this year.
