Hale has the size, speed, and overall potential to be GIANT at the next level. At 5'6 and 157lbs, Saddler may be great at his current level and I am sure he has been great his entire life in every level that he has competed so far but gambling on a growth spurt with limited schollies definitely is not something that our staff is willing to do at this stage of the recruiting game. This is at least the way I see it. We may be interested in Saddler but not enough to warrant putting ourself in a crunch later.
Heck I am all for evaluating Saddler over this upcoming season to see how he developes physically. Put up another awesome year, gain 25 pounds and grow 5 or 6 inches and gain a tenth on the 40 time and if things don't pan out with other targets, we move on down the list. If Saddler is there go for him but so much has to happen and a lot of things have to go south for our recruiting for it to come to that.
Whatever the case, I think the best thing to come out would be if Saddler goes to scUM and Hale comes here and they make a sibling rivalry of the whole thing.
