🏈 The person with the best chance of being "the next Julio" is Marvin Shinn

[RollTideRandy]

He has been quite impressive at the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic.

His coach has given him plenty of praise.

Well the kid can play there's no doubt, but Julio is a freak-- 6' 4" 220 pnds and runs like a running back, Marvin will be good, and he can play theres no doubt, but maybe not the next Juuuuuuuulio

 

[JoshB]

woooo, thats a statement. being the "next Julio" isnt just being a good receiver imo. being tough as a 2 dollar steak, being unbelievably aggressive, and an incredible run blocker goes into being that great too imo.

 

[Strick]

Yeah I am getting the tweets from Andrew Bone he says he could be rhe best player in the state...maybe not Julio caliber but maybe Aj Green,Alshon Jefferey

That would be a good thing IMHO. :hyper:

There isnt another julio, he was a generational player. But thats not to say Marvin Shinn wont become a highclass widereceiver. Really though, Norwood and Kenny Bell are really good, and get their first big shots next year. Im excited for those two as well, being talented guys themselves.

Julio =the best receiver we have had in my lifetime at Bama (and 2nd place really isnt that close)

Hard to duplicate that

Let's not get carries away Lenny... He's no Sam Collins.

i have heard good things about deandrew white

I've been watching Bama football seriously since the sixties. The only Bama receiver I'd compare Julio with is Ozzie Newsome.

Shinn is tall, he can run, and he has great hands. I am very excited about him coming in. I hope he can put himself in the class with Julio and Ozzie.

I was thinking about Chad Goss but Collins is right up there, too.:td:

The thing about Julio is that he was a MONSTER before even stepping on campus, 6'4" 217 pounds. Shinn is 6'3" but hes only 177 right now, def. looks good as hell on film tho. guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Reports from the All-Star game is that he's bulked up to 196, which is one reason for me giving him such high praise.

I will say this. Marvin is a FANTASTIC receiver that I have watched for the last couple of years. My son went man to man against him in '09. This kid is a competitor and a warrior! He played hurt during most of the season this year, and i can tell you that Vigor would not have made it to the playoffs without him. I spoke to him last year after the game and he is/was very well-mannered (yes sir/no sir) and was very humble. I've seen what he can do, and it is definitely "Julio-esque." We are fortunate to have him play for us and he does not acknowledge moral victories. He is a winner.

 

[gumboman]

Also, keep an eye on Woodson. He is built more like Julio than Marvin is. We will have a deadly receiving corp in the next couple of years.

WOW, if he's bulked up that much in his senior season he could easily be in the 210 range by the fall.

They have him as 6'04" 195 lbs.

 

[joeman546]

Just watched hios highlight videos, and e looks more like AJ Green than Julio. Though my only question is is leaping ability, that is the only thing I didnt see.

Nice juke move that doesnt break stride makes him a danger in space, good hands and body control makes him a danger in man. I am not a good judge on route running, so someone should fill me in.

 

[LBS]

Two points.
1) What makes Julio super has just as much to do with non-receiving matters (i.e. blocking, toughness, hard working competitor....)
2) Marvin is more like an A.J. Green than a Julio, and I don't see that as a slight at all.

Marvin can be another special player.
