'17 ATH Jaelon Darden ( Aldine Eisenhower) [LOI: NT]

[BTG_Fan1]

While Darden isn't Bradley, this kid isn't bad himself with offers from VT, Memphis to name a few, the question now is about his grades.. I'm sure that the staff after getting burned by a few last year because of grades put a great importance on grades to get them to campus, but because of the APR as well.. Adding Darden and Novi are great "surprise" additions today... Hoping that once the dust settles, that we could add 1 or 2 more kids like Darden, Siggers, and White..

Also, Meen2018 is on point with the size is what hurt him, if he had been 2-3 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier, this is a P5 talent

!!!!!! Who needs a Bradley when you got a Darden?!

A few weeks ago Littrell was talking about how we got Darden after a spot opened up because of a decommit, referring to Bradley. Crazy to think about how we were upset about the decommitment in the moment but we needed it to happen to get arguably our best receiver in school history. Darden has more receiving yards in these first 5 games than Bradley does at Houston for his whole career.

Also a trip seeing talk about Raveon Hoston. One of the most talked about players who never even made it on the roster.

Because of Covid 19, will we see Jalen next year?

Based on current trends, if he stays in College, will most likely test the transfer portal. I hope I am wrong.

Why would he stay in college another year?

If he doesn't project to be drafted, why wouldn't he?

If his season finishes anywhere close to the way it has started, coming back could only hurt his draft stock. Besides having a growth spurt, this is as high as his draft stock could be.

I only hope he pays attention to Jaylon Guyton’s story

Staying another year does not guarantee improving your draft value.

Agreed and you also open yourself up to potential injury that would plummet your draft stock
