It’s a good comment, i’m not a fan of taking younger kids in a class on the theory it;s an advantage, but when a kid merits the offer and he’s also younger for the class, that’s definitely a plus. I’d expect more highly rated kids are coming from the relatively older kids in a class. That’s...

Might as well ask your girl if she feels fat while youre at it.

Reminds me of joe klecko at wr.

Kids like this pop up every year. White WRs aren’t supposed to run a 4.5/4.0/37” vertical. His numbers just came this year. LSU has other top kids they’re on. There’s no second top program in LA. Alabama has their pick of other top kids. Many of his strengths you have to pay attention to...

I’m with you on this one.

I like his tape. Not a 5* pop but does a lot of things well. Will be a contributor, could surprise, low risk. Appreciate your response. Here for the discussion.

I’m certainly not contending it’s impossible to win battles at WR or we shouldn’t try, but fancy WR recruits is a shiny object for our fan base, imo. There’s a reason most of the guys you named are defensive players or TE. And we’ve actually signed good QB prospects (per ratings) over the...

Agreed. But I actually think the ‘big time battles’ vs evaluations issue is less important at WR than some other spots. DB being one of them. DL being another. Not that it’s not important, but with the right offense, OL, QB and TE, we can win with a range of options at WR who don’t have to...

There are plenty of ways to fail. The only way to succeed is to avoid all the failure points and have talent. The more talent, the more leeway you get on the other issues. Thomas was different from those guys, you're right. And he failed for a different reason. But their failures and his...

Collingsworth was really good. My recollection is he was a really different player from Largent, also. But I haven't looked at his film in 2 decades.

That's ironic. Jeff Thomas and Sam Bruce were amongst our highest rated recent WRs. Part of evaluating is figuring out which kids can adjust to college at Miami and play on a team according to its requirements. Neither kid could. The concerns weren't out of the blue -- the issues were...

Says the guy who won't support his opinion but is preparing for an 'I told you so' in the future. You say it's 'counter-intuitive' that people who want to compete with Alabama and Clemson would like this commitment. That's either illogical or conclusory or both. We compete with them by...

The booster argument seems less relevant at UM, given its situation. The staff just needs to evaluate.

We keep coming back to a common issue. The big time programs do X, so we need to do X. I disagree with the rationale. It’s not that you’re wrong, it’s just cart before horse. Call big time programs rich programs. Rich people have swimming pools, so we need a swimming pool is the logoc. But...

Andre was a grandma kid (your grandmother could identify him from his HS tape). Santana was a walk on iirc. (yes butch, yes sanctions….) No one is suggesting we shouldn’t take guys with eye-popping ability when available and properly evaluated. But we’ve evaluated poorly on that account for...

:haha-smiley:

Very clarifying response. You’re up for ‘I told you so’ later but won’t actually say anything substantive in advance.

Personally, I think Ibeta > Quan. Lower risk and higher upside, imo.

This kids measurables are every bit as good as Michael Irvin’s and he’s a junior in HS. Better than Jerry Rice’s, too. He’s already faster than Lamar Thomas and with a couple years of S&C could match Reggie Wayne. He’s not far off of Jerry Jeudy, either. We need better WR EVALUATIONS not...
