I would make sure that you are not confusing coaching keys with lack of athletic ability. His keys might be off, slow or he might not be reading what you might think he is reading. You might be right too but I am just tossing that out there.
Click the hyperlinks to the paid services in the first post and you can see his offers.
I know what you are saying. My thing is that I think he will get an offer, and I think he will be thrown at linebacker and he will be a project. Which is not at all a bad thing. Getting a kid this size that can move like he can at linebacker is a great thing. He is athletic, but I think that people might be mistaking some of the initial burst of speed for the deception style of offense that his team plays. I am not saying that he is a bad prospect, I am saying that these are good junior highlights. The above areas are the places I think he needs to improve upon.
You can work on sharpening some things, but generally you either have it or you don't.
Ever attended a speed and agility camp? I attended a few. One at NWU, and one at UNL.
Yes and those sorts of things do just that: improve your speed and agility. Which are, admittedly, components of athletic ability, but why not just say a guy needs to get faster or needs to get ______ (insert general attribute here). Athletic ability is such a general term...what does one mean when they say that a guy must improve on overall athletic ability?
Precisily. It isnt like he isnt better than anyone else on the field, but to play D1 linebacker in the Big Ten I think he needs to work on getting stronger from his pecs up, and getting a bit quicker. there is a difference between quickness and speed.
