TomVH: Roderick Ryles Update

Roderick Ryles (6'1", 185 lbs.) is a 2011 safety from Dr. Phillips in Orlando. He's currently committed to Arkansas, but has started to hear more and more from Michigan.

I spoke with Coach Smith a little while ago, but Coach Rod is supposed to call me later tonight. Coach Smith was just saying that they have some more scholarships available and that they were going to stay in contact with me.

I asked if Michigan were to offer him would he consider the Wolverines, since he's committed to Arkansas. He said yes. If you haven't figured out by now, this is a teammate of Demetrius Hart and 2012 QB Nick Patti. 

Something to keep an eye on.

Well, he's #46 safety, per ESPN, and #30 safety, per Rivals, so that's a solid 3 star.  If he can help us lock up Dee Hart, and if the kid has serious football skills, then lock him up.  I think this class can take 23 kids, so plenty of schollies to go around.

I'm NOT trying to start the "OMG STARS R EEVRYTHING v. Pat White was a 2 star" debate... but with Omameh as a quality starter as a sophomore, Vinopal on a the 2-deep, and Carvin Johnson waiting to destroy some people once his knee heals... hasn't this staff earned at least a little bit of the benefit of the doubt on lower rated guys?

I think that is because apart from them, there is a giant black hole in those spots you listed. Let's wait till this secondary is any good before praising the coaches for their diamonds in the rough spotting.

these guys are perhaps more a reflection of lack of depth, but Omameh is legit. This isn't some late in the game offer. We're months from February and the staff is showing interest. I suspect they think Ryles is a player.

To be fair to Carvin (I don't remember much about Ray's recruitment), he wasn't a late off either. I won't say he's panning out like Omameh has, but he's showing plenty of promise.

to imply that Carvin was late offer. I was trying to defend Blue in SB a bit because I think he's right that the staff has earned the right not to get questioned on offers (at least in terms of spotting talent ... the Dorsey, Kinnard, Witty qualifying type of thing is another story). Still,  we've only seen Ray and Carvin on a handful of plays this year and they're playing at spots where we don't have much depth. We'll know more by season's end and spring ball, but I do agree they look promising.

Carvin was injured in the first game and is a true freshman and Omameh is a RS sophmore not sure you can compare the two. Given how well Thomas Gordon has been playing and the fact that Carvin was in front of him on the depth chart should speak volumes.

But it looks like he's been showing out pretty well this season.  A little lean, but lays the wood with good ball skills.  Part of that might be having half the field shut down by HCD.  I know--generic praise, but I'm thinking a jump in the rankings at some point.

If he can hit and tackle, doesn't take bad angles,and doesn't lose foot races with TE's, I could care less how many stars he has. I never played football but it seems to me that its more easier to play aggressive and not worry about making a mistake when you have faith that the guy behind you has your back and is gonna clean up anything that gets by you FWIW...

The star system does not matter.  A lot of times a kid is rated lowly is because he has not attended any national camps or combines.  From the film the kid is a solid recruit with good speed.  We need all the DB's we can get.
