What about the guy on the Beatles?

lolol

You are free to have your own definition of blue chip. We all are. But it’s irrelevant to the question of whether a kid was a ‘blue chipper’ as a general matter. Blue chipper for you? Okay. Publish your list so everyone can see how often you’re right. But for everyone other than you, blue...

According to Rivals, he had offers from Alabama, Georgia and FSU. Maybe they’re wrong. I guess we never know. I point out their failings all the time. But they probably believed it and tried to validate it, given they ranked him where they did. They don’t generally prefer UM recruits. Not...

Cool, thanks 4 the analysis!

Not on the least. Does anyone in the world see all the Hs recruits play? Are you seriously suggesting we shouldn’t discuss recruits unless we watch them live? The funny thing is, only discussion here is about how he was viewed as a recruit. Not by you, or me, other posters. But by the...

You seem to be struggling with this discussion. I am not justifying his ranking in any way, shape or form. It just is what it is. He was ranked a blue chipper, and had offers to support it. You seem to have a strong emotional view that his ranking was wrong. Maybe it was. They’re wrong on...

His FINAL ranking was 59, and Rivals FINAL ranking tends to be pretty good. There are lots of kids who get ranked high early and decline over time. Others go up over time. I don’t recall where Blades started, but Rivals ended with him at 59. Again, all you’re saying is YOU, in your own...

All kids have to prove themselves, blue chip or not.

This is a discussion board. I’m not talking tough. I’m an old guy. I got no interest in a discussion with someone who thinks this is about tough. I am just pointing out your logical flaws. This who exchange started because you chosed to jump in and tell everyone that Blades was not a blue...

Are you really this dense? I don’t have to show you any rationale for him being top 60 on Rivals. It is an absolute fact. You can look it up yourself. Just go to www.rivals.com. You can disagree with their rankings all you want. But the premise of your argument is idiotic.

This is stupid. Unlike you, Rivals puts themselves on the line by publishing their rankings for all to see. They don’t give everyone high rankings. To the contrary, they ranked Blades above every player in the country other than 58 specific kids, who they named. He was 59. See how that...

You keep saying the same thing. If you want to publish your list of blue chips every year, go ahead. Time will show whether you’re better than rivals. But if you want to keep at the discussion, at last give your criteria in advance. How many ‘blue chip’ r3cruits are there in a class? And...

Great retort. So the definition of ‘Blue Chip’ is now whoever you say it is? And Patrick Johnson, as he was known in HS, wasn’t just a ‘blue chip.’. He was the best CB prospect in a decade. Just define blue chip in a way you can apply it in advance, and without your subjectivity. Is it...

You can say whatever you want. He was ranked by the largest ranking service as the #59 player in the cluntry and had offers to match. Claiming he wasn't blue chip is stupid, imo.

Rivals disagrees with you. They had him ranked as a HIGH 4* recruit, #59 overall player in country and 6.0 Rivals grade (borderline 5*).
