Things I like about this recruit:

His form is very good.  When he blocks (even when he's delivering what will be a finishing hit), his knees are bent, back is flat, and his hands are out.  He enjoys using his hands very much.  He is also very mobile.  I can see why HCDB and company pushed for a commitment.  In this offense, mobile & agile offensive linemen are very valuable.  Obviously he has a nice frame, which will help add weight.  I love his mean streak and love how he plays until the whistle.

What I think needs to be improved (and is the biggest reason why he is a 2 star IMO) is his strength.  There are certain clips throughout his highlight video where he is simply at a stalemate with the Dl he is engaged with.  He doesn't have a lot of run blocking/drive the opponent back 20 yards.  I'd have liked to see more of that.

I think he [I]could[/I] be a 3 star, but i'm not upset with his two star ranking.  I think he does have potential though.  Him packing on muscle to an already athletic frame could turn him into a stud (or should I say domedude now)?  Just my opinion though, I think he could be dangerous as a center.
