Roe Farris, FL CB signed LOI

Post by uhwarriors »

Heard it from a very good source Farris' letter came in late Wednesday afternoon although it's not reflected on UH website or Tsai's blog yet.

A 6'1" CB, 4.56 40. Looks like he has nice cover skills with good balance and timing, and tackles well. i think Coach Ken would say that he has the good hips to play CB.

Well, we have had "Doe" Henderson at CB and do quite well. Now we have "Roe" Farris. Glad he signed with UH.

He looks like a candidate for FS as his tackling in open filed is excellent...playing man against elite speed with 4.56 speed is not a winning combination ,so CB may not be the right fit.

While there's not a lot of info on Roe Farris, I found some:

He was in the Florida Dade and Broward county's top 150 recruits ranked 141. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports ... g-day.html

He was named to the All-Broward County second-team defense.

I guess this is one of the "last days surprises" that was talked about.
He committed to Wagner College on Jan 30, then on LOI day decommitted and signed with Hawaii

Can never tell.....

I remember Phyllis Smith telling me that her son had only one scholie offer......from Liberty University.....back when they were still FCS.....before UH offered.......after her son's former Butte JC teammate CB Lametrius Davis convinced the UH coaches to recruit her son.

BTW her son turned out to be a pretty good player for UH.......RB Alex Green.
