Some prospects are going to have sexy 30 present/70 future grades on them, Carson Kelly is not one of those prospects.

Watching Johnson City, the guys that first jump out are big names Carson Kelly and Victor De Leon (Write-ups on each coming later on!), but the guy who stands out due to his physical stature alone is Ronard Castillo.
