Remember George Campbell
I wasn't a member here, at the time (I was spending my money on Scout), but this kid was considered a lock to come to Michigan. He was a high school teammate of Mason Cole,and stud receiver. It's still early, but he hasn't had the impact that was expected of a 5 star top 10 player. I just remember (some people thinking) it being the end of the world when he didn't pick Michigan.

I actually saw him play during Cole's Sr year. They were playing a team in my city so I went and watched it. What I recall was that Mason Cole was the largest human in the stadium that day. Best athlete on the field was easily Artavis Scott, also on Cole's team and obviously now a very good player at Clemson. Campbell looked the part of an elite athlete but didn't do much at WR that day. Had a ball clank off his hands and made some nice plays on defense as a DE. At the time, he was committed to Michigan.

Sam Webb spoke about Campbell this morning in response to a caller's question, and Sam specifically mentioned George's difficulty in catching the ball, referring to him by the nickname Roberto Duran used to have: "Manos de piedra."

I saw him a few times at various Nike camps, The Opening, and Under Armour. He's very fast, but can't catch for shit.

I believe FSU has already tinkered with him at SS.
Unless he can cover, he's kind of positionless except for special teams.

I wouldn't knock him just because he didn't contribute his first year. There's plenty of time for him to become a factor at FSU. Campbell always had issues with catching the bell so I wouldn't have expected him to contribute immediately anyway.

And also because he wasn't doing anything as a WR (19 catches in 2 seasons). They didn't use him against an FCS team or in ultra garbage time in their blowout loss to Louisville, so he offered to switch to defense. Once FSU's top few safeties went out with injury, he became a starter.

Cause if by "hitting" he means getting a WR 7-10 yards behind the nearest defender only to have our QB overthrow him by 7-10 yards then yes, we should be able to hit a lot of deep balls next Friday night.
December 21st, 2016 at 7:25 PM ^
ah, 7 delusional negs, pretending we aren't incompetent at completing a deep pass wont change it.

There was a need to hit a few deep balls at Iowa.

Sad/not sad.
IMHO if FSUs OLine hasn't improved from the early games I saw of them, their secondary woes will be the least of their concerns.

I remember going with the hype but secretly watching his highlights I wondered about him. He was fast and had long strides but just seemed to have straight line speed. Had terrible hands too coming out of high school. How that makes a kid a five star I'll never understand. Maybe his dad had part ownership in some recruiting sites?

An early 5* WR who committed to us in his junior year. Looked the part of a 5* athlete, but didn't play like one. He decommitted early too, supposedly due to his uncle's influence and we were never in it for him after that.
December 21st, 2016 at 11:46 AM ^
Yep, he started off in the Rival top 5 IIRC, but he dropped a good bit in the final rankings. I remember because after we lost Campbell we picked up Brian Cole and the two ended up being ranked within a few spots of each other.

Think he and Damien Harris taught me not to get too invested in distant class football recruting.
Things change. Especially for high school kids. Nothing wrong with that.

Serious question - What is the point of this thread?
