I'm not saying JJ is not an excellent lineman...I am saying that after all of the hype, the film was not what I expected....especially against inferior competition. With that said, it is a short glimpse of a handful of plays...in no way am I saying this kid is not worth the effort. He has a tremendous upside and the interior comments are definitely spot-on. However, I expected more. I'm not taking away from the kid at all, let's make sure the point is understood. Let me ask you this...Josh Jenkins film vs. Connor Smith's film. Who do you take? Hype and expectation are tricky sometimes...especially for us outsiders trying to peer inward. |

As far as comparing him to Adams and Brewster, I would say that he not the drive blocker that they are, but like I have said with weight training and a little coaching, I don't think it is crazy to think that he could be just as good as them... Quote:

I agree with cb40. If you look at just the clips of his run blocking from the tackle position, you see where the hype is warranted. He doesn't destroy the guy like Brewster does, but he takes him clear out of the play.
It's also important to note this is him at tackle. Jenkins appears to be a good athlete, but I don't think he's athletic or as long as Brewster or Adams, so any comparisons between Jenkins and the other two short change Jenkins IMO. |

Jenkins is solid, but the recruiting class will not be diminished if he stays with WVU. To me, folks are looking for a tremendous assessment simply because he has been a major subject this year on the message boards. He is a kid with potential...not a program changer. Duane Long is as good as they come when assessing OL/DL...I'll fire him an email and get his opinion. Quote:

Dunno, maybe my expectations were just too high...I'll agree to disagree. We all agree he is a a good looking prospect...just vary on the degrees of how impressive. I guess that is a good problem to have. Last edited by osugrad21; 09-25-2007 at 06:06 AM. |

As far as Connor Smith, we saw what a level of competition jump did to him at the AA game b/c he didnt have the proper technique due to not pass blocking...Also Connor was a guy that needed a redshirt to get that stuff down, and he has played welll in his time this year...Much a path that I see Jenkins following, but him needing the redshirt for different reasons than Smith...

Basically, we are running in circles now. Im not even sure if you are understanding my point now. Josh is good. I would like to have him. However, his film was not up to the enormous amount of hype heaped on him. I'll have that response from Duane soon. |

Yep I think we are running in circles...And I agree he does not jump off the screen like Brewster, Shugarts, and Adams...
I guess I was just impressed by his technique and felt with coaching, and weight room that he has a big gap in terms of where is potential is to where he is on that film... |

Pay Attention boys and girls. If you are a football fan you should read this discussion. One of the best I have seen in BP.

Josh will be on an unofficial visit to tOSU this weekend. He will officially visit FSU next month and eventually WVU and Florida. |

I have a hard time evaluating J.J. on film. Is the talent in WV that bad? It appears that every DE he is matched up against is like 180 lbs or smaller. He looks good when he gets moving but technique-wise, hard to tell. I'm sure he knows he can just blow people off the ball b/c of the size advantage every game. Any thoughts? How he stacks up against the other OL recruits OSU already has coming in? I've seen a lot of variance in the ratings between recruiting sites and how they all rank.

FWIW, his film from last year...the one I saw back on page 1 of this thread...was nasty. Having said that, I certainly will soften my original stance...
