    Rashard Fant wants to play cornerback in college, with the opportunity to make some plays on offense.

  • My Take:

    If he wants to play at Florida State, it's going to be on defense. Although he is an above average receiver, he is not on the level of a few guys ahead of him. He does, however, have the skill set and the athleticism to be molded into a quality defensive back. He's also a terrific kid, as well as a very impressive student. One thing that stood out to me the last time I spoke with him was that he is a student of the game. He said he constantly is watching footage of NFL/College players and trying to work on things to make him better.

  • He's a Plan B/C kid at best.

    Ole' Miss would be a good spot for him, as I don't foresee us striking out with kids higher on the board.

    my thoughts as well, too many higher priority DBs on the board to accept Fant now. If we strike out on Burns, MA, Hargreaves and Robinson, then we would grab Fant. I see us signing at least two of those four tho.

  • If he wanted to be looked at as a CB he should have worked out at CB while at FSU. I think he goes to Ole Miss because FSU has other options out there for them.

    To who? Gene? lol

    I can tell you with 100% certainty that he didn't 'show out' to those running the camp -- or to those who have been evaluating the Sunshine state prospects for decades.

    You sure? I believe DC wrote the article, and he had quotes from arguably the best cover corner there saying Fant was too fast to cover.

    I can't believe two sites are disagreeing so much on a player's performance. Seems like someone is definitely lying somewhere. Who is it?

    1,000,000% sure.

    Adrian Baker wasn't 'arguably the best cover corner' at the camp either. He won't even be in this class after the camp unless we completely swing and miss on guys like Rashard Robinson, Artie Burns, Mac Alexander, Hargreaves, etc. Robinson and Burns were head and shoulders above Baker out there. Hell, I would take Jesus Wilson over Adrian Baker if Wilson was set on playing corner in college.

    I'm not going to talk about Warchant, Gene, DC, Michael, etc. This site and Geoff have been kicking their ass for the past 12-months is more than enough talking. You need to learn to trust the guys who actually have personal relationship with the coaches at FSU, and not the guys who are living off of reputation. The Bobby Bowden regimen is long gone....

  • Speaking of "the best cost corner there", is baker still deciding July 1, and would Fsu accept his commitment.

    OK. With all due respect, I've now read two diametrically opposed takes on this kid. I understand there are always differences of opinion. I myself look at the 247 two star rating and scratch my head. However, when there is this stark separation of argument, I tend to try and find out what our Coaches think. Do they see this young man as a WR, DB or what? Is he really fast? Coachable? Hungry? I also know one camp session is not the be all and end all of a player evaluation; however, from what I've seen, our staff knows a thing or two about football players, and have an idea as to how he may fit in with us - perhaps down the road.

    More to the story, I'm sure. Would love to hear what Dawsey and/or Stoops have to say about him.
