Obviously this will be wildly speculative since we have no idea how the gifts and talents these young men possess will develop over the next few years. But it is the offseason, and We The People of TKP are fantastically overreactive in both creating hype and embracing a narrative of gloom and doom. So lets have a little fun here and discuss which of the 2018 recruit(s) you think will exceed expectations and prove to have been an underrated recruit.
By the way, this could be the top recruit in the class if you think he was downplayed or undervalued in some way during the recruiting cycle.
I have two:
1. Cam Goode: https://247sports.com/player/cam-goode-87666
I think that because of his size (listed at 6'0, but that is being quite generous), he didn't get the offers he would have otherwise gotten. He is 'twitchy', and has a great motor. He does have a tendency to play upright, so that will need to change if he wants to be successful at VT. But I think he's going to be really good in the VT system!
2. Caleb Steward: https://247sports.com/player/caleb-steward-46039455
I really like Caleb's film. A good combination of size and speed. He isn't afraid to run between the tackles, and has enough speed, at least at the high school level, to get to the edge. He seems to be able to read his blockers well, something VT backs have struggled with since Fuente arrived to town. To top it off, he isn't afraid to block. I really like this kid and think he is grossly underrated.
What say you?
