2014 - Kaylon "Poona" Ford - Page 4

JDRAY^# · 03-12-2013, 09:11 AM

DL Poona Ford of Hilton Head recently visited Tennessee and was impressed with what he saw. "The stadium stood out the most," said Ford who has USC and Tennessee at the top of his list. And the Gamecocks remain his favorite. "They (USC) said they probably will take one defensive lineman, and I'm that one," Ford said. "That's what I'm looking for. It made me feel very good about myself that they would want me." Ford said he's in regular contact with USC recruiter Everette Sands. Ford, who said he's not hearing from Clemson, is not sure when he'll make a decision but it won't be anytime soon. He is going to Georgia for a junior day later this month and he might go to Boise State for the spring game. Oklahoma State recently offered Ford who also counts Illinois, Arkansas, Kansas State, North Carolina, Arizona, Missouri, Michigan, Louisville and Georgia Tech among his offers. Last season Ford had 154 tackles, 44 for loss and 10 sacks.

That has to be wrong.. zero chance we are only taking one DL

Plus, it says he thinks he's the one, yet isn't deciding soon? We don't have enough space to "wait".. I hope he realizes that we are in play for some major DL talent- if he wants to be a part of this ship he better not take too long

Pretty sure he meant DT.

I still think we'll sign 2 DT this year.

Hope he's one of them.

Dexter will start off as an end.

Just wait folks. We have very few spots, so i expect a bunch of commitments in a short period of time. Don't know when, but shortly after our big weekend perhaps. Who knows though.

ReadR00ster · 03-13-2013, 08:58 PM

We'll have an awesome DL class, no matter what. that is all I know.

Maybe we could start a new series of position threads.....all about DL, LB, WR, etc. That would be good. Keep all the discussion about a particular position. Sometimes it's hard to follow all the individual threads. What do you all think.

ReadR00ster · 03-13-2013, 09:54 PM

Poona and Dexter with his labOratory will be Cocks. I'm calling it.

from Orlando Nike Camp today:

Quote:

Ford made a strong push for MVP, but showed he was one of the best defensive tackles in attendance. At 6-fot-1, he is able to play with good leverage and creates a good push at the point of attack with his lower body leg drive. He will need to show the ability to counter when his bull rush is stopped, but that should come with more reps and time watching film.

Gamecocks321 · 03-16-2013, 10:41 PM

Won't be long before Ford makes it into 247's top247. His rating will probably end up being around 93 or 94 before it's all said and done.

Schecter · 03-16-2013, 10:48 PM

I read on TBS today where he officially measured in at 6 foot even and like 280 pounds.

EveryThingGreen · 03-17-2013, 01:15 PM

quick clip of 1 of his reps:

http://vine.co/v/bd99DAIznQe

Seems basically 247 and Rivals said the same thing and rated him the same, #4 overall player and pushed for MVP honors.

Also couple tidbits that he really liked his UTk unofficial visit. We lead, but it is not a big lead.

While he is only 6' tall, he has an 80' wingspan. Both pictures are from 247.

ReadR00ster · 03-17-2013, 01:24 PM

He doesn't even look like he is in great shape. He is just a mean guy (on the field) with a motor that is not about to let anyone get in his way. His potential is unreal.

Reminds me a lot of Melvin Ingram. His face looks like a black John Cena.
