It's been a while since I've played but don't remember a Sky's the Limit recruit with this high WE before.... Anyone want to share their experiences? I'll be interested to see what he can do!

I’ve never seen anything like that before but I haven’t spent much time in D2. Looks like a good LB to me

Redshirt him and get him in the lineup on day one. He's going to be a great one - congrats!

The eternal question: high potential or high WE. Nice way to avoid the question. Gratz!

Below is the gdreports.com link and stats paste to a high potential, high WE DB I recruited at DIII Hanover in Yost. He's now a 5th-year senior with an overall score of 796. (If the link doesn't work or the copy-paste of the stats is misaligned, navigate to the current season of Yost (season 99) in gdreports and look up the roster for Hanover in DII.)

I'm for this. But if you can't afford the redshirt then start him from day 1 !

When it comes to D2 STL recruits, this guy for me takes the cake. Ended up not getting him. The only reason he didn't redshirt is I spent enough money at Western New Mexico to force Humboldt State to promise Freshman start. Consolation prize, I guess?

Gotta redshirt him without a doubt

Thanks for the input everyone! Going to redshirt him for sure, and he'll get as much playing time as I can throw at him....

Now, when he does hit the field, any thoughts on if he would be most effective blitzing or in coverage? ...especially vs. that eternal nemesis A. I. Sim....

Any coaching tips on blitzing? Just wondering....

I was lazy and missed a RS on this Sky's the Limit DL on my DIII Bryant team. Would of been an absolute momster. Heading into his SR year, still will finish around 81/81 Str/Tkl without the RS.

Experiment: STL vs High Potential w/High WE Topic - I tracked STL vs high potential in D3, among other things. Some good convo in there. Worth a look. STL recruits make this game more fun. Nice find!
