You are straying into the weeds again gentlemen. Let's keep it on Jawhar.

Which people would stop with Marrone, should have a Rutgers style thread, for everything on Doug.

Which people would stop with Marrone, should have a Rutgers style thread, for everything on Doug.

It will never stop. The second the words "Dream Job" came out of his mouth - he was doomed because it created the perception of him wanting to be the football equivalent of JB.

I had some disgust with both his 2013 class recruiting effort and the way in which he left because I felt it put the program back a few years, but I'm over it now.

Jawhar Jordan, FR in the SU directory.

He must be so thrilled to finally be here...good for him.

I don't know about him, but I'm thrilled. My favorite player in last year's class and disappointed when it didn't look like he was going to make it.

 

[CA Monk]

The kid willed himself here. All the way from AZ. Gotta like that. Never know what the future holds, but it looks bright and interesting for this budding talent.
Are we actually part of the national conversation now?

Adam from Alaska on line 1.

 

[Trueblue25]

An immediate fan favorite.

 

[Alsacs]

If this kid has the speed it appears you don't RS him and just let him help next year. Plus if he special he isn't staying 4 years so use him.

With our backfield depth and his YAC potential, does he start off as a slot receiver?

 

[reedny]

With our backfield depth and his YAC potential, does he start off as a slot receiver?

My theory too. At 160-170, he's not going to break through at RB. He'll operate in space, which tells me 'slot', KOR, maybe WR for a deep shot - the same way WF used Dortch, UNC uses Newsome and WMU uses Eskridge.

I'd like to see him used like how Purdue uses Rondale Moore. Sweeps, quick routes, get him the ball in space and let him work.

 

[IthacaMatt]

I'd like to see him used like how Purdue uses Rondale Moore. Sweeps, quick routes, get him the ball in space and let him work.

Good thought. I agree that we should give him some carries and try to get him into space using quick tosses, options, etc. He has cutting ability that you don't see that often. I'd love to see him going off tackle or on a Jet Sweep.

This is what I expect, too -- an "upgraded" version of Erv Philips, in terms of speed / elusiveness.

Not a knock on Erv, who I thought was terrific. Pure speed was the one thing he lacked, whereas Jordan looks like a home run threat.

 

[djorange1989]

so, assuming he doesn't RS, we have him, Adams, Jackson and Hendrix as new weapons (not counting the bowl game in the cases of Adams and Jackson). I like. I like a lot.

 

[Jake]

It’s starting to look like the skill personnel that can match up with the upper echelon of the league.

It smells like the ‘90’s up in here.

Teen Spirit?

I saw him in the slot from the beginning.

 

[721Comstock]

I saw him in the slot from the beginning.

While that makes sense, the same could have been (and was, repeatedly) said about Moe Neal.
We're pretty deep there too.

Just want to see this kid get some snaps, anywhere on O - he's a gamebreaker.
(ok, not at TE or O-Line, for any of the pedants out there).

I agree! I just want to see him on the field. He has a very impressive skill set.

Jawhar Jordan, so glad he's here. Worked his magic in the classroom and he's here.

For those who did not see my earlier posts in 2017, here is one that is appropriate. Currently 5’11” – 168, needs to add weight and muscle. Here is the most important information for you. It is from an April 8, 2017 article and interview from RNG recruiting written by Ryan Wright interviewing Jawhar:

Your recruiting has taken off since you won the fastest man competition at the Los Angeles Nike Opening Regional.

What was the time you posted in that race at the Opening?
“4.37.”
Was that the fastest 40-yard dash you have ever ran?
“No, I ran that at school too.”
Are you running track this season?
“No. I’m not competing in track. I’m focused on getting bigger this off-season.”
What are you working on this off-season?
“Building my strength, getting my weight up, and building chemistry with team for a great season.”//

2019:
My guess is that Jawhar has already met with all the coaches and especially Sean Edinger who has given the “Jet” a S&C program with diet. The muscle and weight program are seeds now but Sean will be be growing and building Mr. Jordan to where they want him to be. I have no idea what position HCDB has in mind for him but wherever it is this young man from Long Island, NY and Chandler AZ is one of the fastest backs we've ever had and IMO going to be one of the best backs we have ever had. Here are the final stats as a senior at Hamilton HS in Chandler AZ for those who are new or missed this. Posted December 24, 2017:
