I like his potential even more than his current ability.

You can tell by looking at the photo gallery he can easily add 20 pounds, and still improve on his speed. Didn't appear like the finished product type of athlete. Not to mention he's only played football for approximately two year...

Well, he has a couple years to mature behind Small and Dukes at the flanker position, or behind Hartline. He has time and I, as well, cannot wait to see how it turns out for him. As I have said before, he is no worse a person than he is a great football player.

His route running is pretty polished for a high schooler, and his ability to get up field after the catch is what I really like...He also has that lean when he runs when he gets in the open field reminiscent of Teddy...

Very much so. He can really run with the best of them. With that kind of speed and size, his ceiling will be higher than either Robiskie or Hartline. Now that the Holmes-Ginn-Gonzo-Hall wave has moved on, and with the Hartline-Robiskie-Small-Lyons wave about to hit its prime, it's easy to see why the coaches have made it a top priority to get the next wave in here. Posey one side of the field with Scott on the other and Stoneburner playing the hybrid will nightmarish for opposing defenses.

You are right that this will be a great class of WRs. The thing that is amazing is that this group will potentially have a couple years to play with the Hartline-Small-Robiskie group. Posey, Scott, Stoneburner, and anyone else added this year (Tate?) should have 2 years to play with Small and Hartline. Plus, we have Washington, Sanzenbacher and the guys coming in this year that will also be in the mix.

I think we are kind of in a position where we need to reload at a couple positions on offense this year and we are really getting it done in a big way.

I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed more, but Posey is posting some incredible track times this season. Last week at a big meet (Don Mitchell Roosevelt Memorial in Dayton), Devier placed 6th in the 200 with a time of 22.1, placed in the 400 with a time of 50.04, and also ran on the 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams that also placed. Make no mistake - Devier Posey has great speed.

It's fun to talk "stars" with recruits because most claim they dont care but they can cause an uproar.

Anyway, if he keeps performing like this in the combine ciruit and then puts together a great senior year he could very easily bump up into the 5* range.

Congrats to Mr. Posey on the accomplishment.

While I agree with with what you are saying, he has already verballed, so it will be hard for his ranking to go that high IMO...He will be a 4 star all year, but he has shown up in all camps and put on very good performances and the staff liked him enough to give him an early offer, so he is a 5 star recruit to the ones that matter...

Wideout Posey may be best in Ohio
Updated 1h 59m ago
By Mike Farrell, Rivals.com

There was nobody on the field at Rutgers University that was as polished as Posey. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver was great during the position drills, and nobody could hang with him during the one-on-one battles.

In fact, the Ohio State commitment burned one defensive back so badly on a post-corner route during the one-on-ones, one of the NIKE coaches working the camp repeatedly yelled, 'That's why he's going to O-State.'

"I didn't know I was going to dominate like this, but I know I work on my route running a lot, and I'm hard-working," Posey said. "If it comes down to hard work, then you're going to have look all over the country to find somebody that'd beat me in that department. I didn't think I was going to dominate, but I thought I was going to do well.

"I kind of like to make DBs look goofy. I like running post-corners where I can dupe the guy and make him think I'm going inside. Then when he jumps it, I can cut it back out to the corner. It's a real honor to get named MVP, but it was something that I worked really hard to earn."

"I'm as competitive as they come," he said. "I came today because I'm competitive, and training gets boring after a while. So I had to find something to do, and I wanted to see what the East has. The first thing I always work on are my feet and my route running. I lost my concentration a little bit. I dropped like three passes, so I'll have to work on my concentration. That's probably my weakness at this point."
