That is a great point. The type you are speaking of is an asset. They can play multiple positions and we have seen what two years can mean for some guys (an extra 2" and 30 pds isnt uncommon) we are off to a great start. You never know how a recruit might impact the program down the road, and with the staff we have in place I think player development will be taken to the next level.The Jackal wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 11:28 amArticle confirms, as you suggested, that he'll play safety.
My inclination is to watch the safety position as fall camp starts. Furman has 11 players listed at safety, and have added two more guys in this class that played that position in high school. I don't think they will all stick there.
In my view, high schools tend to put their most athletic players on defense at safety, giving them freedom to move, cover, and tackle. FCS programs tend to recruit that position heavily due to the athletic flexibility of those players. Some guys are a more natural fit for the position, while others can likely be deployed elsewhere.
2019 commitment
Hamp Sisson is a 2018 commit — but I didn't know where to put this, Sisson wins the Bryant/Jordan Scholar/Athlete award: http://www.villagelivingonline.com/spor ... -award625/

That’s what you like to see from future field general.
I know HKB60 is excited! Has he found his way to this edition of theUFFP yet?

A couple thoughts on Barton.
Really long player and a good athlete. Hard to really get a good read on technical skills as he simply seemed to be a better athlete than most of the guys he's facing. Easy comp watching the high school tape is Dru Seabrook.
He's another guy that had a bunch of SoCon offers, including an offer from James Madison. Again, I think we are targeting the right guys.

He’s also a ‘legacy’ whose Uncle was an All SoCon OLman for Furman & whose Dad played OL at UT-Knoxville. Guess he wasn’t athletic enough to play OL, but I’m sure he’ll be a good’n on the DL for the Dins despite that limitation.The Jackal wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 8:58 pmA couple thoughts on Barton.

Also, in the responses after Barton's post is one from Sebastian Rice, former Furman player who appears to be the DC and DL coach at Centennial.
So, add that to the list of things I didn't know and another Paladin in the coaching ranks.

Saw Barton play last year and his film backs up what I saw in person. A kid with a big upside.

Coaches tweeted we got a commit from a kid from NC. Let the guessing game start....

Two of the last three offers are from NC. Justin Olson, 6-3 175 WR/QB, from N.Mecklenburg and Dominic Roberto, 6-0 230 LB/RB, from Fayetteville. There are others though.
Dominic Roberto’s HS coach (Matt Sochovka’s father) retweeted the coaches tweet so maybe that’s a clue it’s him.
