HUGE get. There's our R.J. Maryland replacement.
This class is unreal.

Love that Lashlee and staff are continuing to build on that Duncanville connection and bringing in guys with Championship DNA. He does resemble RJ Maryland and we can only hope he will become as productive a player as RJ has been for SMU.

Will be a 4* in the fall and a great, athletic get!

Or Courtland Sutton... This guy is a BEAST the way he abuses DBs!! Going to be fun watching Mr. Turner.

With that offer list, how is he not a 4 or even 5-star?

The stars are a gimmick to sell subscriptions. That list of offers is all the evidence needed about what kind of player he is.
