SIGNED DT Kevin Maurice

[default_28]

"[Papuchis] said he doesn't know how I slipped through the cracks," Maurice said. "They felt like they found a diamond in the rough with me. They think I'll fit in their system. They're not looking for big guys that'll fill holes, they need someone who has juice."

For someone more hip than me what does "someone who has juice" mean?

Actually Kevin's family owns an orange grove. The athletic department will save a ton of money by not having to buy oj for the players. His scholarship was predicated on the fact that he bring the juice.

Good one!! I hope the juice is worth the squeeze.

Now that we know he made the first team watch the recruiting services reevaluate his star ranking. So, who wants to predict the new ranking? I am going to say 4-star and a top 50 for his position.

Nate Clouse‏#Nebraska commit DT Kevin Maurice makes Florida 1st Team 8A All State Team. #Huskers

JoJo Kemp made First-Team, too.

This is probably the most important ranking of all. In the highest class in florida he was good enough to be voted first team by people that saw him play!!!

In 2 or 3 years, we're still thin at D-line and only 2 out of 8 D-linemen recruited in this class and nexts are playing, and this guy isn't one of them, there is going to be a sh*t storm.

First Team 8A at DT in the state of Florida is nothing to sneeze at. That is one of the highest levels of competition in the country for high school football.

Usually UF, FSU, and Miami are all over those guys among other SEC schools.

He likely flew under their radar. It happens. This was his first year playing DT. Do not be surprised if some offers coming flying in after being named to that first team.

He will see a good jump from rivals soon

ESPN, I think they use scouts? Has nothing on him at all.

Wasn't Thad Randle all state in 5A Texas ball? He remained a 3 star. I would imagine he ends up 5.6 3 star. I could see Maurice even playing some Interior OL thanks to his first step and pad level.

Ben Bradley was a 5.5 the lowest 3 star u can be. He had offers from west Virginia, NC state, and UCF. But we are dying to get him on board. Give this kid a chance. He spent most his high school career at o line and has a lot of potential as a d tackle.

True, he really didnt play DT until his senior year. Word is he is a hard worker and very coachable.

That's always a plus especially in the trenches.

I think time in the weight program and at the training table coupled with hard work will allow him to succeed at DL. Plus if it doesn't work out on the DL which I think it will if he works hard enough, he could always switch over to OG. He looked decent at guard and would be good in space. He kind of reminds me of Justin Jackson.

thats way to big of a jump they have to move to many guys back to do that that and i doubt there are 50 4 star defensive tackles

 

[B.B. Hemingway]

Does it really matter what he ends up rated? He is who he is, and we got him....
