He runs a 10.79 100-meter dash on the track and it doesn't take you long to see that speed that's there as a route-runner especially as a deep-ball threat. The 6'0 180 pounder, doesn't need much of a window to make his receptions as a wide receiver that really grew from a poise perspective in his junior season for the Magicians. There are 2027s that need attention and there are the ones that need A LOT more attention, and James fits in that a lot category in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/JamesPallotta_">TWITTER</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625483"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6914000e3e923"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The West Fargo Packers left guard is one that is another that needs more attention and should be an up and comer in this 2027 ND class. The 6'1 290 pounder, has the aggressive hands you want at the point of attack and has upside with his footwork, but yet is one that can get to the second level with his blocks. Roman looks to have progressed with his pass-protection from a year ago and is one that is one to watch this offseason hopefully at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcsase this December.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314710"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6914000e3e96c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the Aggies ballhawks at linebacker in his junior season has been 2027 target [player_tooltip player_id='1314710' first='Emmit' last='Lagge']. There was a span of four weeks that Emmit logged 50 tackles in those four games that prove that ballhawk mentality. He has grown from a season ago with his first step to the ball which has gotten more agile and instinctive in my eyes in his junior season. He might be undersized at linebacker, but he's one you go outside the measurables for if you are looking for a small school target.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625989"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6914000e3e9b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emerson is a new that sparked upwards this year for the Bottineau Braves at the quarterback position. This is kid is super elsuive as a runner for 6'1 170 pounds and surely has durabilty built in with his athleticism especially fitting for yards around the end zone. The arm talent as well has progressed too with Emerson, as there certainly is more percision built in with his touch throws. I hope to be even more intrigued with what the rest of his junior season tape looks like upcoming as another I hope to see at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625504"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6914000e3e9f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brady has some work to do with cutting up his tape, but what you can see quickkly is the pesky persistence this young man has in pass coverage. The 6'4 165 pounder, certainly utilizes all the length that is at his disposal to his advantage as when you see the tape its clearly evident. Not only is he disruptive with his length, Brady also plays with the hit-stick you want in your secondary, as I would be remissed of how impressed I was with his physicality. Fargo Davies will be playing in the 11AAA state championship on Friday and I hope to get a live eval on Brady more in depth, but I like what I see headed into Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/Bradyvetter14">TWITTER</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
