The wide receiver position isn’t an area of major need for Arizona State in the 2017 recruiting class, which allows the Sun Devils to be very selective in the prospects they purse. One such recruit is four-star junior college wide receiver Stephen Guidry, who officially visited Tempe last weekend.
The Hinds Community College is a man of few words, so I’m just posting this in the Huddle. Just wanted to mention two things to set this up.
While Guidry is a spring graduate, he did redshirt his first year at Hinds so he’s a 3 for 3 player. So very appealing eligibility wise and ASU has done well landing such prospects in the past. Jaelen Strong if you recall was one such a recruit.
While Guidry is looking at SEC schools such as Alabama and Auburn, the more stringent academic qualification process that conference has with junior college prospects puts Guidry at a better chance qualifying at other conferences, which obviously helps ASU here.
Guidry told me this about his visit:
“The visit was nice. We went to the game right when we got there. I really liked the environment and the people around it; it’s not a boring place. The team is cool and they have two senior wide receivers that are leaving. They throw the ball a lot and do a lot of trick plays. I really like the uniforms.
“Coach Norvell likes my size and speed. I run good routes and catch the ball. Probably my weakness is (needing to) add about 10 lbs. I’m at 6-4 190. My fastest 40-time is 4.24.”
Guidry will visit Mississippi State on 12/2, Auburn on 12/9 and Alabama on 1/27/17. He told me that he didn't intend to make a decision before he took all of his visits.
Again, if the SEC qualification issue remains relevant then in essence ASU is right now is the only school he visited/plans to visit that he has a realistic chance to qualify for.
