the skill points are good. I have two issues that i think hurt his chances past his skill points
1) I think if he bumps handling up much more with the most common areas, he'll have a high handling. High handling on an 8 or 9 Potential player is significantly less problematic than high handling on a 7. It'll hurt the end-result player in salary and perhaps build. I could probably post my thoughts over in the elastic training guide rather than here, but at the end of the day i would suggest there be a different approach between 7 POT u21's and 8+ POT u21 guards.
2) I think that before he caps, the owner would be wise to at least do some work on inside skills. If he is climbing into cap range by the end of the u21 season (which is plenty possible if we start talking about 15 PA).
So perhaps his chances are closer to 50/50 based on his current pace (which i think is more fair given the amount of potential players with good secondaries so far in the DB), and you do have the final say. I just dunno if i'd have him take this player on a normal plotted path.
