Thanks, not great at pasting. I'm kinda skeptical of this offer unless he fits our new system.

Yeah not sure what to think about that but I would guess he would definitely get a RS year.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

I hope this is just an anomaly given CM has such a short timeframe to work with on this class. 

[Hollywood870]

Did y'all watch the film of him pancaking folks?

Yes, it was a good highlight video of his junior year...would like to see some senior year highlights.

[Seebs]

He will be smart enough to know the scheme that is for sure. I'd be proud if my sons had that offer list.

Well, based on his rating (.8015), here is what he is per 247:

89 - 80 = Three-star prospect. One of the top 10% players in the nation. This player will develop into a reliable starter for his college team and is among the best players in his region of the country. Many three-stars have significant pro potential.

By and large, the most telling stat is the offer sheet.  Hands down.  My opinion, of course. 

Not impressed, but I understand the limited options at this stage of the game.

[SouthTulsaHog]

Giving the fact how some of our 4* OL have turned out in recent years, I would say that ratings aren't everything. Give the kid time to develop

Absolutely, me too! Mine is a senior this year who has a few offers also. Trying to talk him out of walking on at Ole Miss. Luke likes him and offered a walkon spot....proud as a parent but it would be hard, lol.

Congrats to your son.  I'm sure well deserved.

Congrats to your son.  I'm sure well deserved.

Thanks you sir! We are going through everything to make the best decision although Mom wants him to stay here in Memphis. I want him to see the world lol.

[Hog Ziggler]

Thanks*

[a shady hog]

He's kind of getting on up there in age. I didn't know he still has eligibility left.

[pigroots]

Doesn't seem extremely quick but is very powerful

[jvanhorn]

Doesn't seem extremely quick but is very powerful

LOL, well if he was extremely quick and very powerful he would have heard from Nick Saban by now.

The predictor says 100% Arkansas even with the commitment still saying SMU.

[Nipsey Mussle]

Is he the first SMU commitment Morris has offered here? That says a lot about his thoughts on him.

2nd.  I believe Woods was the 1st.

[Pig in the Pokey]

Woods is an ANIMAL. That kid is fast and hella aggressive.

[247Hog]

Like stated, doesn't seem very fast but kid has an attitude for sure. Something i wouldn't mind seeing more of.

we need a lot of big nasty players with attitude

[Farmer Hogget]

Yeah, I can see why people would think he's no good.  (Sarcasm)

[hawgdavis]

I'm ok with 3 star OL if you can RS them for a year. A lot of big guys are late bloomers any way. We had some pretty salty O lines back unde Nutt yes i said Nutt and he usually did it with 2,3 and some 4 stars sprinkled in. BP got 3 and 4's as well. There are also more underrated OL prospects because there are just more of them to look at.

[hawgdavis]

I love linemen with a nasty attitude like Skipper before B.B. changed his Jersey number and made him play nice. A few unnecessary roughness penalties along the way sets the tone and I good with it as long as they don't become over the top or too frequent.

Something tells me Silas is much better than his rank.  Call it a hunch.

[pigture perfect]

Bring him on.

[Smashmouth2004]

Not impressed! I'm expecting high 3 star players to get us competitive but this is just the same OL projects under Bielema. I realize this is late start for Morris so I'll reserve judgement for later.

hey, man, i see you are new to the site but we dont play in the recruiting forum. No bashing recruits down here. take that sour attitude back up to MMQB.

Correct. I'm pretty sure the rules are stickied at the top of the forum page.

You literally did not reserve judgement.

[Kevin]

which line will he play/ I read on twitter he is a dl prospect

Interesting that despite your self-proclaimed "I'll reserved judgement for later" claim the very first comment is "Not impressed!". Might want to go back and look up the term "reserve judgement" 'cause if not you're going to continue being  caught talking out of both sides of your mouth.

MEA CULPA!!  Yes I did commit an unforgivably transgression in my post of this young man and even violated my own standard by not investigating him before making a comment. My bad!

So I did look him up, read about him and reviewed film. He's a coaches son who was a very good player at Texas. Rating is probably deceiving since he probably didn't attend camps as a coaches son and made 2nd team all-state as a junior but the best part was his film. He is Skipper with an attitude! Great footwork and finishes off DL by burying them in the turf. On defense, good use of his hands to keep OL away from his body and excellent lateral movement.

Lesson to me and the rest of us. I was concerned with our OL play last year and immediately rushed to judgement when I saw a 2 star rating but obviously this young man is underrated and has very good size and is athletic. Even though I learned not to trust Bielema when it came to recruiting, I should trust Morris and his new staff and don't jump to conclusions!

+1 for good response.

I would much drether look and compare offer list than ratings.  Coaches know what they need and who fit their needs. Rating services are far from perfect.

Thanks for ur report.  This is why rankings are not always accurate and who has offered is much closer to true rating and worth in college..

My God, you guys. This is one of the most stand-up posts I've ever seen on Hogville!

+1000 my man.

No problem, dude. We've ALL been there (some more than once). Glad to have you join the club. 

[Boarsnest]

Highlight tape was impressive.

[rljjr]

Silly question ... is he projected as OT or DT?

[farmhawg]

I bet CCM is a much better evaluator and developer of talent. We heard that crap from Bert and he never delivered. I think that causes some skepticism but we should trust this coach.

[RockyMtnHog]

We've offered another SMU commit Silas Robinson who is a DT/OT. 6'4 300 lbs.

He is commited now to Arkansas.

[Polecat]

I've seen him play. Probably a little underrated bc he plays at a smaller school. His team is in the semis and he's a very powerful young man. I'm excited about him
