Yes. Landen Thomas last year was a 5 star then dropped 100 spots in final rankings for not going to the all American games so they couldn't get eyes on him there against tougher competition. Who cares as long as they can playIf a HS player only played HS ball and some winter/spring sport but didn't do any camps or 7v7, will that negatively impact their ranking since they're not "visible" to the recruiting scouts?
I'm just thinking if a kid who had very good traits, winner at the HS level and athletic in multiple sports. Would he be undervalued and thus a gem because 247/Rivals aren't getting eyes to "properly evaluate" him.
His new name is BenjaminHe is worth double the money. You heard it here first. Lol
Yeah; but what color was his Christmas Tree?Ok, so he wore a UM towel during the state title game and now he’s wearing Sebastian around his neck.
Does this kid have some ties to Miami besides Mario recruiting him? Some family connection, or something like that?
... after he signs and faxes his LOI (to us).Nope...give him what he EARNT...kid showed up with a Sebastian chain on and ripped Miami and his 7v7 team the whole weekend
I was wondering who was following along. 55 and money for a kid who isn't even a senior yet. Yeah he's gonna be just fine.That’s 55yds in the air.
Not bad for a high school Jr
Is arm strength something that can get that much stronger tho? Would that be with weights or with technique? I’ve seen guys who are stick (kosi, Jayden Daniels) have super strong arms and great velocity.I've been VERY consistent in my belief that he's the goods (check my posts in this thread) and I've declared myself the unofficial president of his fan club.
HOWEVER.. His arm does need to get stronger. I'm NOT saying he's got Emory's noodle arm. So don't even come at me with that nonsense.
This will be hard for some to understand, but just because a guy can throw the ball 50 yards does not mean he's got a cannon. Again, he's not throwing ducks. But he's not exactly throwing 25 yard rockets either.
He has other traits that I fell are (potentially) elite. IF his arm strength catches up to those traits he'll be a monster. But right now, that's not a given. Hopefully he'll hit a growth spurt and shoot up to 6'4 like his brother. That would probably help.
Yeah to an extent. I've seen first hand what a good strength and conditioning program can do. Things I still can't believe.Is arm strength something that can get that much stronger tho?

The key is what slippers did he wear when he went to PBuc's barber to get a cut?Ok, so he wore a UM towel during the state title game and now he’s wearing Sebastian around his neck.

Now you know that sounds too much like right lol...explain to me how Julian Lewis reclssified from 2026 to 2025 and is still a 5 star when Nickel beat him out for player of the year as a 3 star... after he signs and faxes his LOI (to us).
I noticed too. LOLDid he type through irl?
If you've got a noodle arm, you'll never have a cannon no matter how much you train but you can make incremental improvements. I was very much down on Emory Williams' arm strength in his high school tape. He put on some good weight room muscle and his arm strength improved. He's still on the lower end of the spectrum but it's more than enough for a college quarterback.Is arm strength something that can get that much stronger tho?
