Lamarcus Joyner (DB New York Jets)

Genron187,

The question is not whether Joyner felt the "love" from February 2009 to February 2010....No No No Sir...

The "REAL" question is.....will he still feel the "love" after the fax goes through?

I think with you by his side.....Joyner will see through the BS and make a smart decision.

The spring game couldn't come fast enough! Genron, do you guys have a full weekend planned up in Columbus or is it just a brief visit? Also, is it just you and Lamarcus coming up or a couple of kids? I think it's great that you guys are getting to see some programs early. Whether it's Ohio State or not, there's nothing worse than having to prolong a recruiting period passed signing day because you don't feel like you have seen enough places.

Evaluation



What Joyner lacks in size he makes up for in excellent speed and acceleration. A talented receiver and outstanding overall athlete, but we feel his future lies on defense at cornerback. Needs some polish in his technique but has all the coveted traits you look for accept ideal height. Displays great range and makeup speed. His recovery burst and breaking quickness may be unparalleled in this class. Reads the play quickly and covers a ton of ground in a hurry. Closes hard and shows deceptive explosiveness on contact. Delivers a great pop and runs through all his tackles. Tight, quick twitched body allows him to play much bigger His run support skills, nose for the football and overall physicality really surprise you for his size. Gets over trash quickly and looks comfortable playing near the line of scrimmage. Really feisty and difficult to seal off on the perimeter. Transitions quickly and takes direct angles to the ball. Definitely a guy who will be able to set the edge and flourish in a "hard" cover 2 scheme at the next level despite his diminutive size. Pedal and coverage technique will need some refinement but he has the loose hips and foot-quickness to mirror and play off-man and the physicality to press despite lacking long arms and great size. But we still feel he is better playing the ball in front of him and may be best suited in underneath zone schemes where he can get more involved than locked up on an island. Safety is not out of question in the right scheme and he should immediately challenge for early playing time as a nickel corner. Could get a look on offense in the slot with his great foot-speed and quickness needed to create mismatches in the slot. Overall, Joyner is an exciting athlete and potentially a future difference maker on defense. A guy who is consistently around the football making plays.

I'm not worried about his size at all. He has great jumping ability, obviously great speed and acceleration, but what stands out to me is something that isn't measurable by a combine. He has that "it" factor pursuing the ball, or with the ball in his hands. Runs down guys from behind, goes all out, all the time!
Dude has like zero body fat. I've seen some quotes from his old coach at SW saying that he needs to start hydrating 4 days before a game because he cramps up so bad. I'm sure coaches in college would fix that cramping problem and increase some of his body mass.
Whatever the case may be, somebody is getting a true baller. :osu2:

More about Aquinas rather than Joyner:

Maxie getting a lot of looks
Quarterback Brett Maxie, Jr. (Southlake, Texas/Southlake Carroll) says he is getting looks from California, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt, among others. He recently transferred to Southlake Carroll from Florida power Saint Thomas Aquinas High in Fort Lauderdale.

Is it official that you and Lamarcus are coming to the Spring Game?


Correct, i got to see the hype for myself. I heard about Eddie George's place, hope I can check it out. When we touch down I'm getting away from Joyner, let me get into everything with the coaches 1 on 1 and players.
Let me tell you this. I finally had a real and true conversation conference with coach Haynes with LJ leading the convo..........man let me say I was damn near speechless after he told us why OSU, what makes them difference. I'm not going to tell it but what he said caught us by surpise. So good i had to record it. It was Deep, made me think about life situations and other internal things. It was not the typical response we've been hearing. There are way more good people on earth than we give credit for.
There is a thing called winning the right way. I see OSU football attempts to do just that. Very very impressive.

So glad to hear about the convo with Coach H., genron! We're very proud of our coaching staff and the way they represent the team and the University.

The Spring Game will be a wonderful experience for the both of you and definitely try to get to Eddie's Grill. Great food and atmosphere!

"You win with people!"

They really do take that to heart, don't they? I can not wait until we get to hear your feedback on seeing Woody Hayes Athletic Center (WHAC) and The Horseshoe. :biggrin:
