ESL kid, 6' 3" 190 (2025):
He’s visiting Miami this weekend. From down there. Could be a problem. We have a great sell with DBs though
This one is most likely Miami. Also, I'm okay with that. He comes from the one place I have contacts. He is undersized, terribly inconsistent.
All I really watch these days is the Illini, does he have any meaningful experience?
If so I think it would a loss if we missed out, if not, not a big deal yeah.

6' 2" 280 JUCO DL, 3 years left, just de-committed (from WKU):
Sounds like a solid pick up if we can land him.

Was he scheduled to enroll at WKU this fall or Fall 2024?

He has or will have his Associates in May, so summer enrollee.
It won't end up that way. Georgia and possibly LSU and Alabama will pass them.
4 year player, started 22 games. The Sooner pass rush has been horrid, so its hard to decipher how much of his issues are technique/scheme related. I don't want to totally knock the kid, he did play solid at times but just inconsistent. The lack of size is glaring and he played opposite Woody Washington who performed at a higher level so Jaden was targeted more by opposing offenses, especially Texas. Over his four year career I believe he only had 2 INT's. I would prefer us to look elsewhere.
Thanks for the breakdown and yeah, I agree with looking elsewhere.
Theycan track his progress. No one is saying offer him. Jeez

“Wake up quickly” and class of 2027 does not compute.
Well, at 6' 2", 200 lbs. and a solid mustache in 8th grade, perhaps he needs to be recruited now because he'll be too old by the time he gets done with HS? /s
(He seems to have some serious Greg Oden in him.)
