From the Clemson site...James has offers from Auburn, Ohio State, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio State, Kentucky, Texas, Nebraska and Minnesota and his stock is skyrocketing right now. He plans to camps at OSU this summer.

Interested in how this guy got an offer [and an impressive list to boot]. His numbers dont seem to make up for the lack in size. I'm assuming those numbers aren't current [as in '06]?

If by "numbers" you mean his measurables, if you click on the link to his Rivals profile, you will see his measurements were taken at the 2006 Nike camp at Miami on 4/9/06. If by "numbers" you mean his 2005 stats, those can be misleading...I would imagine that given the fact he was 2nd team All-State, his stats might have suffered because teams probably just weren't throwing his way. From what I can see he is a solid tackler for a smaller corner...

I appreaciate it.

By "numbers" I meant his weight and 40 time. I'm sure he's deserving but I was hoping someone could elaborate a bit if they'd seen some video, that's all.

Again, thanks.

no problem...I've only seen the Rivals profile film...hopefully someone who knows this kid a little better can elaborate. if the offer is valid, there must be something that seperates a kid like this and a kid like Mabin.

[dingyibvs]

Apparently coaches who've seen him play are all very impressed. Not sure about everyone else, but I'm pretty sure UF has him as one of the top targets if not THE top target at CB.

[korchiki]

I am also kinda skeptical...with his SAT, GPA, the low bench press his lack of height and weight...Im not criticizing JT and staff but I find this particular offer very iffy...but thats why they get paid the big bucks not me

[dingyibvs]

Here's his video, very impressive, that's probably why he was offered.

[BuckeyeFromHecK]

If you watch the video, it's very easy to see why he is being courted by some of the best colleges in the nation.

[NightmaresDad]

Super-strong on run support - reminiscent of K Coleman in that way. (something very important to JT, for sure)

Not real high top-end speed but very good acceleration / break on the ball.

[BuckTwenty]

Certainly plays like a Buckeye DB. Athletic, nose for the ball, non-stop motor, hits very well. He'd be a really good fit for the Silver Bullets

The video is impressive. Good offer.

[crazybuckfan40]

I really like this offer. This kid can play, I don't care about his size. He makes me think that he is bigger in the video by the way he plays. He is also still a junior and has time to grow. I also love the way he plays the ball in the air. He has great hips and can really turn on a dime.

[G8erBait]

He is a stud. He will camp at Texas and the Horns have told him that he either commits that weekend or the offer is off the table. His brother is a pretty good CB at Georgia Tech. I heard he loves Florida though.

Don't sleep on Alabama here either...they were the first to offer and he seems to really have an interest in the Tide. I would be surprised to see him anywhere other than UF or Alabama, but time will tell. Haynes is certainly getting some of these young DBs attention down there in Florida.
