Recruiting 2020 Recruiting Thread: Gervon Dexter gets 5th Star on Rivals

[BMF]

Rivals lists Clayton as a mid-tier 4 star. 247 has him in the low to mid tier. The services really like the kid. It is the injury issue that is the problem. Will the kid be back to his old form? If so, you are getting a higher ranked RB. If not, a team will have a serviceable back. It is the Nayquan Wright situation all over again. Wright was a high 4 to 5 star (.9739) on both services before his injury. Afterwards, he dropped like a rock. Which back will he be at UF?

I don't know why people are so concerned w/ injuries to a 17 year old. These kids bounce back so quick from injuries, because of their youth, it's a complete non-issue. Unless the kid had his knee or hip completely destroyed in a high impact, high speed automobile accident I wouldn't be concerned one bit.

Insane.

Remind me how good Marco was this year after his injury.

We can do this all day long. Remind me how Andre Caldwell returned from the injury he sustained on the kickoff return. THAT was an ugly injury, not a blown ACL by making a cut in the turf. These kids are like rubberbands at that age. They are still growing, still maturing physically. Often times, due to having to go through rehab they return even stronger. It's 2020, not 1978 when taking a water break during practice was frowned upon.

We can. Thousands did well, thousands struggled.

That is the point, it is a coin toss and every decent scout steers clear of the injury problem kids.

We obviously have struck out on every other RB on theface of the damn planet though and have zero other options.

Is even Clayton am option?

 

[CGgater]

Or we could just worry about FL and south Ga and get better players

As long as knox is on staff and especially while we’re at the 11th hour, if we have a 4* RB showing the slightest bit of interest, do everything possible to get him.

I thought Marco’s struggles had more to do with the defensive scheme change?

Yeah I think he’d jump at the chance to play in the SEC...but I don’t believe he is a take right now

knox has struck out 8-10 times this cycle and we’re not sure a 4* is a take? I’m so confused.

I don’t think our staff thinks he’s good enough. Yeah he’s a 4*....but he’s in the heart of SEC country and he has no offers from any of the other teams. It’s not just our staff.

Ill pass along your suggestion to the coaches - I am sure they will care.

 

[SeabeeGator]

I do like that he has track speed too. I’m a fan. Glad he is going to one of my two schools.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

No, he was a pretty good tackler. I think he is just not "sure" of that knee yet.

He was released, but still not eligible to sign another LOI? How does the ncaa justify such a stupid rule? Did someone organize a bake sale on his behalf??? I don’t care who he signs with, the release should be all that’s needed to allow him complete freedom to pursue another school.

if you're released but not allowed to go anywhere else, you are not released. once again, ncaa is retarded.

He's graduated. Can't he just enroll where he's going to play??

School released, but not ncaa maybe. I dont feel like hurting my head looking at their rulebook though.
