  • Heh. I like Crawford more than most, and I think he's #4. Is that kicker from Massilon is top 5, too. Heh.

    Incidentally, the comparison to Winfield is apt for a ton of reasons having nothing to do with height.

      That said, Talent---Don't be a dumbass!!!

      (CVGT says that works for Deb over at the Lions Forum when someone acts like a Dumbass, so I figured I'd try it...)

      :-)

      Anyhow, that's what I read about Crawford in the few minutes I had at work to quickly post the news of Crawford committing to U of M, that he was the overall 3rd-ranked player in ohio for 2015. I'll have to look it up, but I believe it was ESPN that had him ranked thusly.

      • Well you have spoken in a way that is so grossly and obviously inaccurate that Talent needed no more than two Hs and an U to expose it.

        (And by that I mean that a normal person would need just those three keyboard strokes but in Ohio it takes an afternoon of trial-and-error efforts before they get the spelling right.)

        • I understand M's love of ESPN ratings which WM and I have agreed are, by far, the worst.

          Scout and 247 don't have him in the top 5.

          And, thanks, as per usual, for the stimulating comments. Brilliant.

          • I haven't seen any film on him, but I have reservations about his size. Antoine Winfield was one of the best football players I ever saw - period. He's the standard for short corners. I know Crawford is supposed to have speed and tackling ability, but how does he cover WR who's 6' 2"? What happened to HokeAttison recruiting taller/longer DBs?

            • Is he the kind that might be a decent safety instead? They are talking lately about the nickel position being a very versatile one. But they're taking shorter corners more than just this one. Richardson is 5-9, and isn't Jourdan Lewis? The picture of Lewis from his mgoblog Hello post was of a really slight kid.

              • Does he cover the slot? I don't know. I'd like someone with more knowledge to enlighten me.

                • I definitely don't necessarily see run-support as the ingredient that makes a CB suited for the nickel spot, but I'm all you got for now. Gonna have to remain stupid until we are rescued.

                  • I didn't mean that as a slight.

                    Saw his film at MGOBLOG. He' definitely a player. Tackles well and has a real nose for the ball. Explosive. If only he were 6" 1'.

                        OK, then---go back to being a dumbass. I like you better that way than as a smartass.

                        • Talent was just giving us our badly needed reality check. Our addled minds will probably have him ranked as the #-3 recruit #1 by next week four spots higher than because we're such homes. We need him here to cast a critical eye on reality as we (and, apparently, recruiting experts in his own state) see it.

                            Winfield is one of my all-time favorite Buckeyes. So, personally, I wouldn't compare anyone to him if I didn't feel it was warranted. Crawford is, at least, that type of player. He's really good. Not to discount lack of height -- Winfield was torched by Burress in the uber-painful 1998 loss to MSU. And, likewise, Crawford had a tough go of it against Mentor last year and Brandon Fritts (big, tall, WR). But, IMO, he's a player that has NFL potential. I like him much more than the other Ohio kid M is likely to get, though that kid is generally ranked higher.
