Rodriguez Coleman (2011 Verbal) ***

UCBearcat4ever · 10-03-2010, 03:26 PM

Rodriguez Coleman (WR) from LaSalle committed to UC earlier today, Offered Yesterday. From what I read sounds like another Jamarr Howard situation

I like getting commits and stuff but really how many WRs do we need. Like we saw against Florida we need bigger/more physical guys up front on both sides. If we could maintain our level with our skill players and get bigger in the trenches we would dominate the big east year in and year out.

^But we thought we were set this year as well, and injuries and players not getting cleared kinda blew that up

udonkey · 10-03-2010, 06:52 PM

WRs are DBs waiting to be told they now play defense...imo

shaunsimpson · 10-03-2010, 08:11 PM

We are short on WRs right now.

bearcat29 · 10-03-2010, 11:21 PM

As a local kid, has anyone even seen him play. Is he good enough for the BCS? Does he have other offers?

bearcat29 · 10-03-2010, 11:27 PM

Good height and good speed. My guess is he gets a shot at playing WR, if he doesn't cut it he is a db.

Read the same article. Good size at 6'3" 180.

Hopefully he pans out to be as talented of a player in college as another recent LaSalle receiver - Devier Posey.

Over rated.

You can not be a fan of the Buckeyes all you want, lord knows I am hardly a fan of Ohio State. That withstanding, Posey is a pretty good reciever and if this kid is anything like him I will welcome him to UC with open arms.

Thank you CMM. I'm no fan of the Buckeyes but I try not to let my personal biases get in the way of an objective evaluation. Posey is a pretty darn good wide receiver. Consider the QB that has been throwing him the ball is about as accurate as Ray Charles at a shooting range and Posey still makes some great catches to bail his quarterback out.

If you would have put Posey in UC's lineup with Pike or Collaros throwing him the ball I think you'd be singing a different tune, TGO. Is he the best receiver in division 1? Hardly. Would I want him on the Bearcats squad? You bet. And if this Coleman kid is in the same mold, and I have no idea if he is, I welcome his talents to the 'Cats.

I really don't care that we're taking another WR, I care that we're taking a WR who doesn't appear to be very good.

No offense but I trust the coaching staff's assessment.

What is that trust based on? Has this coaching staff proven to you that they better than others at evaluating talent? Have they taken guys here who no one else wanted and turned them into stars?

Its one thing to put your trust in a coaching staff who has proven themselves, its quite another to put blind faith in a coaching staff just because they are the coaches.

Is it better than putting blind trust into guys who watch video in their parent's basements and assign star ratings to high school kids? Or, are you actually basing your opinion of Coleman's talents on having watched him play?

Two of the touchdowns were caught by senior WR Rodriguez Coleman for 27 and 25
yards.

Because of that I think he will wind up on defense at safety.

I too think that the coaches will work him at the D side of the line.

I`m basing my opinion on several things, none of which has to do with the recruiting services. Recruiting services lie, film doesn't. The fact that the kid has no D1 offers outside of UC (including MAC offers) while playing at LaSalle doesn't lie. Its not like the kid was flying outside of the radar at some tiny school where no coaches or scouts go.

I don't mean to insult the kid, no doubt he's talented but high D1 talent? I have my doubts.

High D1? Have you checked the record lately?

The fact is that we, as fans, don't know everything the staff knows. They have one h of a lot more experience evaluating talent than any of us do. Who knows, maybe this is part one of a 2 part deal. There must be another LaSalle player that lives up to your high D1 standard.

cincy34 · 10-07-2010, 10:16 AM

This kid is a good WR, but WILL NOT get into school. This is the reason he has no other offers. The kid cannot get into any NCAA school at this point. Coleman gets a lot of attention from BIG schools, but they eventually back off due to grades. Recruiting services also know about this and have virtually ignored RC. UC's offer and Coleman Verbal is just a formality stating he will go to uc after he qualifies, if he qualifies.

With my own two eyes, Coleman is the best WR in the GCL and probably the best in the cincy area. Runs smooth, adjusts to the ball very well, and plucks the ball out of the air. He is big and athletic... I have a feeling most of you will hear alot about him after this weekend when the Lancers play St. X.
