Recruiting wrap: Grimes has long been considered an Ohio State lean, but Florida has made a strong push in recent months.
Performance: Grimes managed to stand out of a loaded receiver group in Miami. He lived up to his five-star billing by using his rare blend of size and speed to dominate a camp filled with highly regarded defensive backs. Grimes is a special talent who may not have an equal at the high school level.
Recruiting wrap: Jeudy is thought to be an Alabama lean, but that could change before Signing Day.
Performance: Jeudy may have been the camp MVP had Grimes not been in the same group. He’s a prospect that could certainly push for five-star status down the line and looked every bit the part in Miami. He rarely lost a one-on-one rep. And while he is a few inches smaller than Grimes, his explosiveness and top speed make him a dangerous deep threat.
Recruiting wrap: Georgia seems to be the favorite to land Webb, but Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers and North Carolina are also involved.
Performance: Webb put on an absolute show in New Jersey. He has clearly done a tremendous amount of work on his route running and burst out of his breaks. Defenders were tripping over themselves trying to keep up with Webb, and he was easily pushing them out of his way when they tried to jam him at the line of scrimmage. Quarterbacks loved throwing the ball his direction because he caught nearly everything within reach.
Recruiting wrap: Lindsey is planning another visit to Ohio State and the Buckeyes are emerging as a serious contender in his recruitment. He's also looking closely at Oregon and USC. Nebraska remains a major player and Notre Dame is staying involved as well.
Performance: In one-on-one situations, Lindsey is virtually unstoppable because he cannot be pressed at the line of scrimmage. He's sudden and quick in his movements and he has excellent hands. Lindsey is a playmaker, so on short passes he can make people miss to gain extra yards. He's a phenomenal route runner, so intermediate routes are no problem. And he might be best stretching the field, running by defensive backs and making the big play.
Recruiting wrap: West Virginia, Utah and Kentucky stand out to Harley, but he’s likely to see a few more offers before his recruitment comes to a close.
Performance: Harley's combination of long arms and speed made him nearly unstoppable in Miami. The fact that he managed to stand out of a hyper-talented group speaks to his performance, but the speed and quick change of direction he showed are staples of his game. His strong showing was certainly no fluke.
