Message: [QUOTE="CIL, post: 266657, member: 22"] My physical therapist also coaches football at Sto-Rox, which happens to be Dontez's HS. One day I came into rehab wearing a pair of Syracuse shorts and we got to talking. He believes Dontez was by far the best football player on that team, including Rippey. In his words, Rippey is known as the better athlete, but Dontez is right up there with him. However, Dontez has a much better grasp of the game, understands schemes and positioning well above his age. He also believes Dontez is a better receiver than safety. Also had a bunch of other BCS schools sniffing around after his commitment, including a few B10 programs but Dontez informed everyone he was solid and not to bother. If he measured a step faster at some camps, he would have been a national recruit. However, my pt believes Dontez plays much much faster than his times show because of his ability to diagnose plays as they develop. [/QUOTE]
