this is awesome!!!!!!!
Hometown: Columbus, OH!
Those dreads out of the back of that helmet though!!!!!
"Those dreads out of the back of the helmet" seemed to work okay for some guy named Denard Robinson from his very first play in The Big House and for Devin Bush, Jr. last year.
Nothing wrong with dreads out the back of the helmet. Works for many.
PAW PAW!
As someone who lives in Paw Paw, I was wondering if he might be suiting up for the local squad this fall. Welcome to the right side of the Game.
It's darn good to be a Michigan Wolverine.
Brother of 2019 Prospect John Branham
Same high school as Trey Burke & former OSU F Jared Sullinger. They play in the Columbus City League which is meh. Not the same level of competition that Taco/Butt or 2019 Zach Harrison will face. Northland is very close to Columbus St Francis DeSales (Prospects Johnson & Velasquez) so it's good to see the block M invading Columbus again.
Well Ohio (the poster) should be happy.
it won't - he's a pretty grumpy guy
I love paw paw
You love his grandfather? That’s strange
Charlie Maxwell AKA They Yankee Killer. Yeah I'm old.
Frank Lary was the Yankee Killer, Maxwell was Mr. Sunday (hit a lot of homers on the Sabbath).
I was going to say the same thing, 3G Blue. Then I wasn't going to say anything.
Then I saw your join date and MGoPoints total and had to comment. So the topic that draws you out of lurkerdom is Frank Lary? I approve, my friend, I approve.
And... Maxwell was from Paw Paw (MI).
Jimmy putting emphasis on Ohio recruiting lately
Because the best HS football players in the Midwest come from there. Was concerning when it dropped off.
We should always be recruiting that stage. Look at the diamonds in the rough alone it has produced. Jake Ryan, Jordan Kovacs, Roy Roundtree.
I agree. Was more or less a pun/shot at all the “he doesn’t emphasis Ohio state enough”
Emphasize* no edit feature
You might want to spell his name right in the thread title.
Kalil--Welcome to the family! Go BLUE!
Damn. Thanks for the heads up. Any idea how to edit a post on this crazy website?
How to edit: wait an indefinite amount of time for an “edit” button to appear. Sometime in the distant future press said button. Proceed to edit as you normally would.
(4. Profit?!?)
Had a CB for Ohio State, which makes me think the offer was an 'offer.' Otherwise an uninspiring list, to be honest.
for 2020 and beyond it is harder to tell based on offer sheets, but a good offer sheet is really good this far out
Pretty hard to gauge a high school sophomore based on his offer list. You generally don’t see their offer lists start to really form until they’ve gone through the camp circuit leading into their junior years, which is just starting up. By the end of the summer and into his junior year of football, you’ll start to get a better idea of what kind of player he will be based on his offers. Typically only MAC schools will offer kids this early that aren’t absolutely cream of the crop type players.
I doubt Urban is losing any sleep over this one.
Lol. I was expecting a shitty response from you. You didn't disappoint.
Shocker. Bluey comes in to provide our daily dose of negativity.
Whatever would we do without it.
More like dose of douchery but yours works too!
yeah, there really is no need for this - this is just being a snarky bitch to just bitch
kid is a 3-star, but ranked 328 which usually end up as a 4-star should he hold that spot (yes, it is early)
but the point is this is the 328th ranked player in 2020 and you chose (shockingly) to be a douche just to be a douche - why you hang out on a message board of a team you only hate and troll is beyond me, but I guess that is what children do when school is out
Bluey---you really are a piece of shit, aren't you.
Go away, Bluey.
You're a total piece of shit, piss-posting on a recruit's "Hello!" thread.
Your right, after having to fall asleep when Aaron Hernandez knew his family's home address plus the location of his daughters bedroom, he probably already sleeps very little, so nothing to lose.
Oh look it’s the blog lowlife.
Maizen? Bluey? Too limited in username choice to be a coincidence, right?
You really are a sad sack of shit.
Perhaps we should clean up the spelling in the Topic heading?
Welcome young man!! Go Blue!
Jersey's selling. Tide turning.
Watched some of his tape. I question his listen 40 time but other than that he looks pretty legit. Good size. Catches everything with his hands instead of letting it get into his body. Looks willing to get physical when blocking. At the very least he looks like he'll be a solid possession guy that can consistently move the chains. I'd call him a high floor kinda guy that'll end up in 4 star range.
As has been well established around here, all 40 times are fake.
Having said that, the kid can run. Here's the link to his Track page.
https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=8562820#!/L0
Don't really know what a good 200m time is anymore, so I looked up the MHSAA 2018 finals and his times would make him top 10 in the state at that distance... As a sophomore.
So yeah, maybe not a Trindon Holliday level burner, but certainly fast enough.
He's definitely fast - but I don't think he's low 4.4x fast.
Given that he doesn't even run the 100m, and given his fastest not wind aided 200m is around mid 22.x
I'd guess he's more like a low 4.5x 40.
That's fine. Low 4.5s as a high school freshman (I had said sophomore earlier incorrectly) is not "slow" by my standards.
He might not have the 100m burst but long speed he's looking pretty good. Right around 0:50.5 in the 400m isn't bad either (right around 15th or 16th in the state of Michigan).
For comparison, Chesson (who was much taller) ran something like a 0:10.7 100M in high school and a 0:21.86 200M as a senior.
Chesson was 4.47 in the 40 going into the NFL.
Branham is definitely not slow - he's dang fast for a HS Freshman, but that 40 time still gets a bunch of fakes.
I know what he ran as a college senior at the combine. I'm comparing his high school times since there's no point to compare a 22 year old to a 15 year old.
Point being, he isn't stupid fast, but he's comparable to what Chesson was in high school which sets him up well down the line.
