Jamar Cain leaves...and had a REALLY hard time leaving this group he had...and had coming in. Was VERY quick to point Spencer out as a freak. I was like.....seriously? The smalltown SD kid? QUICKLY he says things like...if he grew up in Omaha or Minneapolis he is in the Big Ten. I was shocked. Jamar wanted to get bigger and longer kids. Said this kid is special.
Then you talk to the staff now, and they just feel he is already a difference maker. Over 250 lbs, 6'5 with a great motor, worked hard, was up all summer like everyone. Always nice to have a SD kid.
So in summary, I barely thought twice about this kid on signing day, but the staff knew what they were getting. Sounds like this D Line class is something quite special.
