Jason Essex Is a CYCLONE!
- Thread starter bozclone
- Start date
I can’t call myself a “guru”, but the impression that I have at the moment is that who is more “accurate” depends an awful lot on whose camps the individual prospects have attended.
We happen to have a number of guys this year who have been to Rivals events, but not 247 so far. A couple of years ago, Hunter Dekkers was rated higher because he was at 247 events. Shockingly, the opposing guys aren’t generally in attendance.
The kids who hit all of the events are usually pretty even.
Not 100% the case. Just something I’ve noticed. However, it ties in with how much coaches like to see kids in person at camps.
Yes, and also hoping Qaran Adams can be our tyreek hill. (not off the field.....definitely not off the field)
Love the idea of Becht throwing passes to Essex, Gaines, Adams, and Keller with Eli Sanders in the backfield.
When you least expect it. I want to see a recruit drop a commitment at 2:00am.
Quaron Adams's Crystal Ball Predictions

I saw the CB for Adams. I’m more interested in seeing Essex and Gaines follow through this weekend as was predicted in this thread, simply due to recency. If they do, every 247 expert should put a CB on Adams if they want to see their prediction percentages increase.
The rumor is that he's been committed for a while, he just wanted to announce it on his mom's bday.
Anyone with a 247 account should read this article from Blair Angulo

I'll share a snippet that has me super excited for Quaron.
I see the Gaines thread keeps getting bumped. It’s Essex that is expected to announce today, and soon, right?
Here is a quote from Jason's Coach in a UK article about his visit there.
“Jason is a very talented kid,” Coach Palmer explained. “He’s extremely strong, he’s a very well-built young man. He’s 6-foot-2, up to about 204, 205 (pounds). His bench is over 300 pounds, he squats close to [400]. He works his tail off–on and off the field. The thing that is most intriguing to everyone across the board is his ceiling is so much higher than where he’s at right now. He goes out there and makes great plays and catches over top of people or breaks three tackles and goes to the house. He does all these things and you’re still sitting there going ‘This guy could be even better once he figures it out,’ because he’s only played three years of football… He could take a two-yard throw and take it to the house from 50, 60 (yards) out with relative ease.”
It also said that Jason is young for his class. It said he won't turn 18 until next July.

He’s only played football for 3 years??
Anyone else see a pre-injury Quenton Bundrage in his hudl tape?
