LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Rivals.com National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell ’s thought-provoking Three-Point Stance is here with some odds and ends from Day 3 of Under Armour practice, a look at some players who have raised their stock so far and a few others whose stock has dropped.

Day 3 of practice was held in much better conditions than rainy Day 2, but the wind was still a factor. Here are some thoughts from Day 3.

The quarterbacks looked a bit better today despite the windy conditions, although Florida signee Emory Jones still struggled. I can’t figure out what’s wrong with Jones, but his feet are the main culprit as his footwork is inconsistent. He’s either overstriding and sailing the ball or not stepping into his throw and skipping it in the dirt. And on short passes, the Florida signee isn’t showing much touch. He got more reps today because Jacob Sirmon was injured and sat out practice, but it didn’t seem to help.

The other quarterback on his team, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, had a much better day. In fact it was the UCLA commitment’s best day yet as he looked solid for the most part throwing from the pocket and on the run. On the other side of the field, Adrian Martinez remains the most consistent quarterback, Joey Gatewood (Auburn) showed more patience today while Jack West continued to struggle.

The best running back by far has been Ricky Slade as the Penn State commitment will be a big part of his team’s offense. Second best is probably Keaontay Ingram, who has shown some good ability to catch the ball.

Guys who can get open but drop passes are Alontae Taylor and Xavier Williams. Both have great speed but lack natural ball skills.

Offensive lineman Daniel Faalele had a good day as the Minnesota signee showed good patience and footwork. The teams crossed over and went one-on-one against each other and Jordan Davis, an Alabama signee, went from being handled by Nick Petit-Frere to being handled by Faalele. Davis hasn’t had a great week at defensive end so far. KJ Henry continues to be the best defensive end at the event.

Asante Samuel, the Florida State signee, is having a good week and has been very consistent. The same can be said for UCLA commitment Olajiah Griffin, who recently mentioned that Tennessee is his top school despite his UCLA commitment. Both players have excellent instincts, things that can’t be taught, at the cornerback position.

Tyreke Smith had a good day in team rushing the passer and is one of those guys who has an amazing ceiling. I might do a “high ceiling” list from this event because there are so many guys just scratching the surface of their potential like Faalele, Smith, Eyabi Anoma and more.

The linebackers don’t get a ton of love because there is no tackling to the ground, but it appears to be a good group and they have excellent size. In addition to guys like Terajda Mitchell and Jack Lamb that I have mentioned, Quay Walker is about as good looking a linebacker prospect as you can find and Xavier Peters is huge as well. And all of them can move.

Justin Shorter is far and away the biggest receiver at the event and a freak of nature. We haven’t pulled the string on his fifth star yet, but that could be changing. Brevin Jordan is the best tight end at the event hands down and the Miami commitment will be discussed as well.
