May as well bump them and put it out there for all of them.

Just a bump to remind the board we’ve got a recruiting list to look at as we get going with fall camp. A good opportunity to point and laugh at Lance for the inevitable misses on evaluations as players develop.

Forgot to respond to this; I didn’t handle it last year. I think D$ did. I asked if I could handle it this year and he was on board. Not because I think I’d do a better job, but simply so I could learn more about the recruits because that’s not my area before they’ve signed.

Yeah, reading keys can be taught. Most LB’s read keys and go. Few of them rely on instincts to get to the spot in time to make plays (Pinckney was this type) The great ones do both. Multiple times Troutman lost the ball or misread the key and that led to huge holes. An evaluation is just that...

Curtis made many a S. Florida DB look slow, no doubt.

You do a pretty good job of summarizing it. 1. Shouldn't mke scout 2. Not rosterable 3. Walk-on (Ryan Ragone would be a 3) 4. Potential 2-Deep 5. Decent starter at P5 level 6. Start for a good team 7. NFL camp talent 8. NFL Draft pick, All-Conference potential 9. 1st team All-Conference...

A matter of getting consistent data is the main reason. Additionally, the wide range of competition makes it difficult to use accurately. I've got a big database of high-school QB data before many places started putting it behind a pay wall and it performs decently. The big misses tend to be the...

I’ll be wrong on some of them. Can’t measure how these guys will develop since they’re starting at different places and will determine some of their own success. My biggest thing is the fact he’s a 5 on potential. The worst recruit on film (to my eye) has potential to be an average starting ACC...

As time allows over the coming week.

Yeah I need to edit.

PR was an 11.13 as a Junior. Mostly 11.2’s 11.3’s. Certainly not slow.

You can probably imagine his athletic scores wouldn’t have been high. I would need to watch his tape in HS to evaluate his on-field character and play demeanor. Plus his tackling and finishing ability. Troutman got a 5, he’s not like some recruits that would’ve gotten a 3 in past years as the...

To be fair, I watched at least one “full” game.

Verified track times from his junior year are good, not elite. If you put an 8 on them I wouldn’t be up-in-arms. Keep in mind this is compared to other P5 CB’s, and I’ve got him solidly above average. Curtis or Brashard is our fastest recruit regardless of position.

Fire hydrant (this is just me talking) is short, with short arms, wide frame. That frame has less physical projection or length than would be desired. Fire hydrant has nothing to do with toughness or ability to anchor for me. In fact, Haye plays far too high, which removes his ability to...

Yes, 1 is low, 10 is high.

Miami signed 21 players in the early signing period and it looks to be a really strong class. Everyone loves a list, so I decided to watch a full game of every recruit and then rank them. A few caveats: 1. I’m not ranking the kicker, because frankly, I’m not a kicker expert. Safe to say he’s a...
