Thanks Clint!

Wow, what a beast!

Carrington is a must-get. If we want to win titles, this is the kind of playmaker that we'll need.

Clint, how is this guy not rated higher? What's the deal, is it too hard to project his position at his next level?

No prob. I think he is a little raw because he wasn't able to focus on one position. He can definitely still get bumped up in our future rankings too, although we really believe three-stars will be excellent players at the next level but just might need a red-shirt year.

Agree, I watched his highlights a while ago and was impressed. I have no problem taking 4 WR if we take Treadwell and one of Allen, Carrington, or Paul Harris (or the Cali guys - Larue, Stringfellow, Daniels).

wow, this is incredible, he does everything. what shot do we have at him?

A must get? Really? If any CA kid is a must get for us then we are screwed.

Talent is talent brother.

I was sold at 12 seconds...

He is a "must get" in the sense that he's exactly what we need to be elite year-in and year-out.

From watching his tape, I can tell that he just has an innate feel for the game. And despite his "rawness," he produces on the field.

In a sense, he is just a pure football player.

But what makes him so appealing is not what he is right now but what he will become. And I'm not talking potential 2-3 years down the road. I'm talking with just a year of college coaching (so basically a redshirt year).

Edit #1: I think Yuan has the correct connotation of "must get" in the way Exile and I used it. Sorry for the confusion MKat. Thanks for clearing that up Yuan.

Edit #2: As I watched his vid multiple times, his game reminded me of someone but I couldn't quite place it. Well it finally came to me. Carrington is basically Devin Gardner as a WR instead of a QB.

I can accept that as speculation.

But I'll remind you that Gardner is an inch (or two) taller, is roughly twenty (or twenty five) pounds heavier, and has a wider build.

Gardner can change direction pretty well but he was never explosive imo.

I feel like "must get" is being thrown around pretty loosely ITT. The way it's being used here there are probably a 100 must get guys in the country. A must get guy is a top talent that is local or has ties to the program or grew up dreaming of that UM offer. A guy who is going to be a real difference maker and if we somehow don't get him somebody screwed up. Not a WR, no matter how talented he is, from the west coast who only mentions UM in passing. A "must get" in this class that comes to mind is Shane Morris.

I think it's a matter of semantics. While an elite playmaker may be a must-get in this class, and a lot of people would agree with that, that doesn't necessarily mean that Carrington himself is a must-get, as there are other players like that out there in the event that he doesn't end up at Michigan.
