Blackburn now a 5.8 4* on Rivals. I would expect 247 to raise him from an 88 as well. So guessing he’ll be a composite 4* by NSD.

Blackburn 247 rating jumped from 88 to 91 (4*). #240 nationally, #7 TE, #18 GA.

Composite up to .8856 but don’t think that has the rivals jump included yet. Should be .89+ and a composite 4* when it does.

We have a kicker at Brentwood Academy that already has 16 field goals this season. Brandon Adams and Ryan Johnson are both BA grads. I hope we are pursuing him or somebody like him.

The BA kicker I referenced, just committed to UNC. I hope we are addressing our kicking issue. This should be the easiest problem on our list.

Sagar has announced his decommitment. Not a surprise

I hate it for the kid, but I will go ahead and ask the question: did he really have an offer?

He did but it was as a LB, and was kind of a headscratcher. Then he played TE almost exclusively this past season and had almost no LB film.

Looks like we're settling in around the low 30's for average star ranking on Rivals. If that's our recruiting floor going forward, we should be in the upper quartile of the ACC in talent going forward. Feels good, man.

A legit threat at TE gives this offense an instant boost.

The thought we were going to use him at WR. Can anyone confirm or deny this.

Although Rusty Mansell enjoys the smell of a kirby smart fart, I do think he mostly knows what he is talking about.

WR

Probably a hybrid. Slot, outside, inside.....set up mismatches. Go inside and get a LB matched up 1 on 1. Put him outside on that 5'11" CB a few times.

Leo Blackburn is elite.

Rusty is rusty.

WR

100% a WR

On the Blackburn segment on NSD CGC said “a lot of schools, a lot of websites were listing him as a TE, we see him as a WR 100%.”

 

[LongforDodd]

On that first play LB engaged his defender for 35 yards downfield, non-stop.

That hair...

That was like the play in the Blindside movie where I thought, "That never happens". I guess it does.

and 6'5" 220 sounds about like another WR that did OK here
