Gerry and I discussed this. He reminds me of a more athletic Devin Duvernay. Same build, same elite (10.2) speed. I just think Royal has more fluidity to his game. 

You guys have said Jermaine Bishop doesn't compare to Malachi Toney because of his skinny build. What are your thoughts on Easton Royal compared to Malachi Toney?

Royal could be that level player with more gas … think they have similarities as players 

I believe Sark has coached 40% of the Top 10 fastest WR at the NFL Combine

Shoot, Mitchell might just be headed straight to the track after college. 

If he is still posting 10.1 or 10.0 legitimately next year, might be worth the conversation of hanging up the football cleats. 

We'll see.  He seems to really like football.  He's just a soph in HS, so who knows where this goes for him?  In track, it's hard to reach the top, in football, he can be a star at all levels because NO ONE can match his speed in football!

He earned the nickname Superman in MS for what he was able to do on the football field, so there’s definitely a chance he sticks. 

I’ll see him in 10 days or so for their spring game.

Where are you getting the $3mm price tag for Royal?

I just referenced the number saying that's what Cam received. I do not know what ER has been offered.

I don't think Texas would pay either Royal or Sales Cam Coleman money out of the gate. Coleman was/is proven at the SEC level. They'll both command good money but it would be recruiting malpractice to shell out that much for HS recruits. That's not to say they can't get to that level in college though.

Someone will, then what? You know LSU will my offer him $3 mil.

Fastest recruit in the Sark era!

Not considering Worthy a recruit - although technically correct, he never set foot on another campus.

In talking to his dad at a track meet earlier this year... it may well come down to how much he grows the next 1.5 years. If he grows a couple more inches, it would make pro track a near formality based on the convo IMO
