CB Chimdi Chekwa (Official Thread)

[illinoisbuckeye]

Everything I have read has pointed to AJ being recruited at WR with the ability to play both ways at some point. I dont think this affects his recruitment at all, sounds it affects others but not AJ.

quite honestly, i think it does say something about where AJ is going. After reading what osugrad21 said in the AJ Wallace thread, saying that AJ is a silent verbal to PSU, made the staff want other options and so we got another great player from the state of Florida. hopefully i am wrong about AJ because he is going to be a great player regardless of where he goes, but i think it may be pretty much a done deal with him

Welcome to the Buckeye family. He fits a zone defence very nicely I might add...

Welcome, Chimdi!

Chimidi and AJ

Could end up being book end corners, ala Minnifield and Dixon!

Just watched the video from Sunshine preps...this kid looks good, looks like he has a nose for the ball, good size, good speed, and is a good tackler

Very nice pickup indeed

I think the coaching staff has found another diamond in the rough... just like M Jenkins.

Chimdi will battle Amos for the other corner spot if Youboty enters the draft. Regardless, Chimdi will have a good chance at making the two-deep (with Amos behind Youboty and Jenkins).

just watched the video. im not really in awe over him but i most definitely see great potential in him. his speed is impressive and he has a frame that we can easily build on. he seems to play very intelligently and he seems that way in the classroom too. i expect him to have a very bright future and love his instincts.

My dad told me about him today, the school is a half a mile from my house, i can see it from my backyard..... talk about suprised.

 

[Oneshot]

What'd your dad say?

Question I will toss out there: Does this offer commitment have anything to do with maybe where AJ Wallace is going?

Just my opinion but I don't think this is the reason he was offered. He was offered because of his combination of speed and size.

Look at his track numbers. this kid has a burner. the fact that he runs the 300 hurdles tells me he has balance and strength too. Will he be a big hitter against a back like Hart or Penn State's big backs? That will be the big test, but right now this kid sounds like a keeper.

let's hope that those RBs you mentioned, do not get in to tOSU secondary that often. Our D-line and LBs take care of em before that.

Please help me out here guys. What I am seeing on the other bigger networks is that he runs a 4.7 Was timed at the Tallahassee nike event at 4.67 in the 40. Not particularly physical (just shy of 6') and 165lbs.

At the Tampa event he ran a 4.69

I dont want to be misconscrewed as being a hater but frankly, I dont see the sense in the offer. Scout ranks him 2*'s, Rivals 3. OSU is BY FAR the best offer he had.

I wish he well and we know he can be a diamond in the rough but Im growing concerned with this years recruiting trend
