Dorial Green-Beckham

[w0lfe]

Man I would love to land this kid. I couldnt imagine having him thrown in the mix with the receivers that we will have on the field. 6'6 221, fast and good verticle jump. The kid will be a superstar

[JLEW1818]

that's a big kid

Isn't this the kid that is in the "Blindside" type situation, and his adopted parents are going to push him to Mizery?

[JLEW1818]

I gonna report this kid

I've heard this and that his adoptive father (who is also his head football coach) is an OU fan. I think I had read in a Springfield, MO paper at one
time that he's surrounded by a football staff that are OU and MU fans and
they think it will come down to those two schools. His younger brother
who has cancer is a heck of an athlete as well. When the family went
to a hospital down south, Dorial visited Alabama and Ole Miss. He shot
a game of pool with Julio Jones. There was an artical about it in the
Springfield Newsleader a couple of weeks ago.

[w0lfe]

He is a game changing type receiver. Throw him on the same field with Stills, Metoyer, McCay, Franks, Shephard, etc etc..

Thank you for saving the thread, David.

Time will tell. He may be more of a Calvin Johnson

[JLEW1818]

So will he be the number 1 recruit of 2012?

[gaylordfan1]

Looks we have another reason why we need to win it all this year... :D

[Lawton4Life]

you know at some point, there arent enough balls to keep all these receivers happy and not enough legal formations to get them all even out there! :)

[jersey sooner]

He's a more explosive Calvin Johnson. I didn't think that was possible. We need to land this kid at all costs.

We could offer him 200 thousand in jewelry, it worked for oklahoma state

I dont care about recruiting rankings. You want a number?


He is 6'6 220. F****** get him. NOW!

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Yes because 6'6" WR's always work out. Wasn't Jerry Rice, Chris Carter, Wes Welker, Larry Fitzgerald, Lynn Swann, Ryan Broyles, and all the others around 6'6"? If we don't get him...the program will probably close down

Most corners are around 5'10, so when you can get an 8 inch 20 pound advantage, you take it. Get this kid. He will be great.

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

I'm with David....And every scouting service in the nation.

The kid is a can't miss prospect. His film is just rediculous

[Curly Bill]

There's no such thing as a "can't miss prospect."

Check out any of the 5 star prospects in any given class 4 or 5 years down the road and see how many of those can't miss prospects did in fact miss.

[Widescreen]

I agree that the "can't miss" label gets overused. However, there are players that qualify. AD for example. He was an absolutely freak physically, mentally and in terms of work-ethic. The only thing that would have made him "miss" is a severe injury.

...or being lazy, or being used incorrectly, or not staying eligible, etc, etc... These are just a few of the reasons that can't miss prospects do in fact miss quite frequently.

The only reason we can now say AD was a can't miss prospect, is because he didn't miss.

I already covered the lazy issue. It didn't apply to AD. The "being used incorrectly" I may agree with but AD had the work ethic to stay eligible. I still say if one exists, he's it.

[OUster]

I don't know much about this kid, but the last 6'6 220 kid we brought in to catch the ball was named Jermaine, something or other, and may have been recently drafted. My memory is hazy on this. I would be for giving this new kid a chance.

Top 2 Prospects in the Country... Nice

There's no such thing as a "can't miss prospect."

Check out any of the 5 star prospects in any given class 4 or 5 years down the road and see how many of those can't miss prospects did in fact miss.

There absolutely is such thing as a "can't miss prospect," and DGB is the definition. He's the biggest can't miss I've seen since AD. If you don't think this kid deserves to be called a "can't miss," then you need to have the football part of your brain checked out. Forget the 4 and 5 star rankings, for the most part they're a joke. He should be a 7 star anyway. When I look at this kid, I see the WR version of AD. AD wasn't a can't miss because of his ability to spin or break tackles. He was a can't miss because along with having every skill a running back needs, he was also a freak of an athlete. He was a state champion running track if my memory is right. We still haven't seen a high school recruit that big, that fast, and that explosive. Until now. DGB runs great routes, catches everything, and has all the intangibles. That's not why we need him. We need him because he's 6 foot ****ing 6, 220 ****ing pounds, and is the state champion in the 100 meter dash. This kid could have taken over (some) college games as a high school junior. Sure, there's always the possibility he makes a rap video and gets kicked off the team, or can't pass the ACT to even make it here. That doesn't mean his ability on the football field isn't worth everything, and more. Is the success of this program riding on landing this kid? Obviously not. But keep in mind that those videos you see is a 17 year old high school junior. He still has a full year before he's considered old enough to be in college. And as for not using him right, that's comical and asinine at the same time. It wouldn't matter if lizzy was our offensive coordinator. Seriously, though, someone explain to me how we could possibly manage to use him wrong. You can't, because this isn't a kid you can use wrong. This is a kid you put anywhere on the field, and 95% of the time the guy on the other team has no chance. He's in our backyard, and I am praying to god we sign him. If it means Stills transferring, so be it. Stills is solid, but he ain't gonna take over any games single-handedly. KGB could take over every OU game he plays in. My only hope is he doesn't choose basketball, because being the freak of nature he is, he's pretty good at that too.

[Curly Bill]

Some of you people are funny.

[jersey sooner]

and some of you people don't know a ****ing thing about football

[Curly Bill]

I bet this kid even lifts weights.

Hell, I bet he can lift entire trains over his head. :rolleyes:

[Curly Bill]

and some of you people don't know a ****ing thing about football

Seriously? Because I've not yet put a high school kid in the Hall of Fame?

[jersey sooner]

"This is god given, all I gotta do is show up." Seriously, though, what the **** does any of that mean?

[jersey sooner]

Did I put him in the hall of fame? Or did I call him a "can't miss prospect"?

It even sounds stupid... ;)

Yea, to certain people it probably does

Folks, I miss college football as much as the next overweight, Viagra poppin' former athlete on this board. But, enough with the in-fighting. We sound a little like Texas fans.

[icmwhOU72]

I read on a sooner board that his bro is sick and they are moving further east. He was supposed to visit OU for a spring practice but canceled and a lot of talk was that he would not take any visits, but since then he has visited Ole Miss and Bama. I think we are gonna lose out on him because he wants to stay close to home and home just got further away from Norman.

His adoptive father is the head football coach at Hillcrest High School in Springfield, MO. There hasn't been anything on the news or Springfield paper about him moving and this would be HUGE news if it was.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

So let me get this straight, you would rather have a guy who has never played a snap of Division 1 football over a guy who just had 786 yards as a true freshman? I hope we get the guy but lets be serious for a minute. Seriously would you trade Ryan Broyles for hims as well?

[adoniijahsooner]

Even if he is a can't miss prospect, it does not mean that we will win a national championship with him. There really isnt too many cant miss prospects that go on to win national titles in college. All it really means, is that these guys will definitely be really good NFL players imo.

[oudavid1]

Ok, let me put it this way.

Bob should get him. He shouldnt listen to anyone telling him what might happen. He is a cant-miss prospect whether you like agreeing with other people or not.

In a heartbeat. Like I said, Kenny is solid and is going to be a very good college receiver. But he's never gonna be a true #1 receiver. He's not big or fast enough. DGB is most likely our most lethal weapon the day he steps foot on campus. I was just using that hypothetical to illustrate how big landing him would be. Knowing what you know now, wouldn't you gladly have traded Kejuan for AD? But there's no reason to think Stills would transfer because we got him. If we were to have both, and all the other youngins, we wouldn't miss a beat losing Broyles. And no, I wouldn't trade Broyles for him. But imagine if we hadn't so stupidly wasted a year of that jersey kid's eligibility. We could possibly have had Landry throwing to DGB, Miller, Stills, Meteyor, Franks, and McCay next year. Dynasty anyone?

Alot of things don't mean you will win a national championship. That doesn't mean NFL talent can't help you. See 01 Miami, 04 USC, 05 Texas, and 08 Florida.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Why wouldn't you trade Broyles for him? Broyles is too slow and too short to ever be a #1 guy. I say this DGB guy may be the greatest wide receiver ever. I hear some NFL teams are trying to get the rules changed so this guy can go straight to the Pro's, he would easily be the first guy off the board. I mean who would you take. Andrew Luck who has competed against mediocre guys at Division 1 or this 6'6" guy who shows amazing body control, speed and vision against a bunch of 5'7" 140 pound corners that run 4.89 fourties!!! The difference between watching a receiver and running back in high school is that even if a running back is vastly superior..he is still getting hit 35 to 40 times a day so you can usually determine how tough they are. Receivers on the other hand hardly ever run into 6'4" 210 pound safeties that run 4.5 fourties in high school. It is hard to gauge the toughness of wide receiver until they start climbing the ladder.

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

In all fairness Stills could be a legit #1. He's 6'1-6'2sh, runs good routes and runs a true 4.4.

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

Stills isn't in this guys league, Stills hasn't proven he can be the #1...however Dorial has proven it time and time again!!

Because Broyles is also really really really ****in good.

He's a can't miss prospect for D1. Who knows if he will be a can't miss NFL prospect? AD wasn't even a can't miss NFL prospect coming out of high school, be for damn sure was one when he left Norman.

I understand you can't tell everything from watching him play white Missouri high school kids. But that goes for every other big prospect not playing in Texas. And there's very little tape of him available, but I've seen him get popped and hold on to the ball a couple times. And he would tower over a 6'4 210 pound safety (if there ever was one). And he would run past him.

[jersey sooner]

In all fairness Stills could be a legit #1. He's 6'1-6'2sh, runs good routes and runs a true 4.4.

You can make Mark Clayton a #1 receiver in college. I'm not bashing Stills. He's got the skills that he could service us as our #1. But when I say true #1, I mean the kind you have to put your best player on every play.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Well being 6'6" and towering over people always makes them better receivers and capable of taking hits. I mean look at the 6'6" guys in the NFL right now!! Ramses Barden just totally owns everyone at the NFL level. I am just telling you right now that I would take senior Quentin Griffin over a freshman Adrian Peterson any day of the week. This kid might be great but people need to stop acting like this guy is the next Jerry Rice. In big time college football this kid is going to run into some big bad guys that can remove him from his cleats and until I see that, I am not going to say WOW we HAVE to have this guy

I'll buy the big part, but not the fast. Stills has been clocked at 4.36.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Yeah but I am sure Dorial runs a 4.24 and he is 6'6"

[jersey sooner]

Listen, I love Stills. I really do. The kid is a flat baller. And I wasn't saying Stills is slow, although I can't imagine he ran a 4.3. But even if he did, he doesn't play with that much speed. He's fast, but you don't see him blowing by people a whole lot. The only point I'm trying to make is that someone with as much speed and size as DGB is a game changer. Imagine we had AJ Green last year. How much more effective do you think Kenny would have been? I would say probably a lot. He wouldn't have been bumped at the line of scrimmage by the other teams' best corner as much, and he would have been able to play work the slot sometimes. So forget the fact that DGB plays just as fast as Kenny and seems to have mastered the position. His size alone creates match-ups that 90% of teams can't deal with.

I don't know to be honest with you. Our track record is not very good with WR's.
I watched his highlights about a month ago and I agree with your assessment; but we will still win if he goes elsewhere.

[jersey sooner]

You're right, we don't have the best track record. But he's right in our backyard, so I'm gonna keep praying. I know I'm talking him up pretty heavy, but it goes without saying no one player makes or breaks this program. We are the shizznit. But landing him could turn out to be huge.
