Raper to Visit?

Submitted by dmccoy on
Is this guy going to visit or what's the word on him? If he had trouble qualifying, maybe the coaches think he would struggle academically? For a guy with his speed, and potential at corner, I would think more would be said of him. Plus he has an awesome name.

It would seem the coaches want to get a feel for him as a person and maybe decide how he would fit on the team, as a corner or slot receiver perhaps? Or do they just want him to be sure? Maybe both?

maybe the coaches think he would struggle academically? I don't think this is a particularly rare issue given the ACT scores of most players on the team.

Raper is an awesome name?!?! What penitentiary are you from, dmccoy? Something tells me we should pass on this guy. A Raper with bad grades sounds like trouble, regardless of how fast he is. All name joking aside, this is Michigan. We need to maintain some standards, not do whatever it takes to land speedsters. That's Florida State Criminoles territory.
