I know for sure CJ Barnett is in summer school in order to graduate early.
|
Thanks for the intel. Always appreciate contributions here.

So, I guess camps are more important than trying to get to college earlier?

Well his stars (helped by camps) are of little use once he gets to school. Getting a jumpstart on the playbook, strength & conditioning, and most important imo, acclimating to college life (school, practice, social)... that can pay large dividends. The premiere CB school in the country wanted CJ badly, I'll take that rating everyday.

Honestly, Hall probably shouldn't fit anywhere on those lists aside from run blocker IMO. He kind of lacks fluidity in his movement IMO. That will be corrected with coaching and strength and flexibility training though. You can see that he oozes potential though.
I do think he's one of the best tackle prospects in the country, but right now he has more to work on than some of the other prospects.
With that said, it's nice to see Linsley and Longo getting praise. I've heard Longo is a freak athlete for his position. Will be interesting to see who the staff decides on between him and Prior IF they do decide to offer one of them.

Not that these mini-lists (or any other rankings) really matter that much, but their own top 100 has Hall listed as the #61 prospect overall and states that he may be the best left tackle in the country. It's pretty pathetic when your own lists don't coincide.

I know Prior did some damage yesterday but it appears that Longo tore it up as well. Should we be watching to see if Longo gets an offer.
