Class Impact: Elijah Roberts to Miami

[Tellitlikeitis]

Yeah from film and pics I see him progressing like that also. As did pat Bethel. I thought pats HS was very similar to this kid. Just my thought tho..Like I said I haven’t seen buddy in person. I know he’s listed at 6”3 which looks about right. Interested in his length tho which I think is a huge factor playing at the 6”3 275-285 range as a 3tech..but that’s getting technical..I like the kid a lot. I think some thought my comparison to pat Bethel was a knock on him, it wasn’t intended

His wing span is 82in

 

[Tellitlikeitis]

No strength numbers, but his testing numbers were 6'3.5, 267, 5.01 forty, 4.81 shuttle, 28.6 vert.

Those numbers came from his 1st ever camp experience. A lot faster and stronger.

I believe it. Roberts is a stud. In my opinion, he is a better player coming out of high school than Chad Thomas.

Is this the kid we all thought decommitted because Bama came in with the bags?

Every decommit or player that we dont get is because of bags, yet not one person has posted any proof of these so called bags.

Actually a couple posters have given very specific details about some former recruits. Of course there is no proof, they don’t hand out receipts with the bags.

He just got bumped to a 4 star on rivals. He’s now a 4 star on every major site but a 3 star on the composite rankings. Doesn’t make sense

U scared me with the bump of this thread. Idk tbh maybe 247 has yet to check the other sites so maybe it will change soon

4-star now? Gayts bout to fire up the old gaytor-flips machine

is he a 3 on 247? that could be the only reason?

you realize you can never prove bags bc thats the point of bags. it cant be proven but its widely known to be done.

What is the significance of this?

One of the turds already included him in his position by position remaining realistic targets yesterday, along with Bowman.....

He was in one of their mock classes I saw on Gator Tears yesterday

 

[HighSeas]

No he's 4* on every site but only 247 has him ranked nationally so his composite grade is just below the 4* cutoff point of .8901.

Yes these ranking systems are dumb and no I don't put stock in them.

So you have first hand knowledge of a recruit getting paid?

Does the 247 composite update automatically? If not, he may not be a composite if the Rivals four-star bump just occurred.

do you not read the accounts from former players saying they either took money or turned down money. most recent one is gary. the one that got popular during draft day was the ole miss stuff with tunsil among others.

I think so? He's an 80 on ESPN, a 90 on 247 and a 5.8 4* on Rivals.

All industry services have a different philosophy on number of "stars" distributed with each class. The 247Sports Composite Rating assigns stars based on an approximate average distribution of stars from the industry.

There are 344 4/5* prospects for 2020. If Rivals and ESPN have more 4*s than 247 that means that their low 4* guys get weighted down (to high 3*) like a bell curve to reach this "approximate average distribution".

Still doesnt mean every player we dont get is because of bags.

didnt say every player, but youre oblivious to the world if you dont think bags happen in CFB
