are people actually trying to scout a kid on highlight tape? unless u have game tapes and have seen a player in person nothing u think based on a highlight tape matters.

u can't scout a kid on highlight tapes. they may make u go wow i love this kid or not but to say a guy is stiff off a highlight tape wow.

This is so true. . When Shaq was on a visit at UGA Olivadotti told us Highlights get the coaches attention and only shows the recruits potential...Once you have the attention then they get the HUDL footage and watch entire games.. there they study trends and weaknesses which are more important to an evaluator. Thats why we see a kid with an awsome highlights with no offer because his weaknesses out weigh his highlights...for example Phillips weaknesses could out weigh his highlights. ..NOT saying that is the case only an example.. The highlights i track on Shaq are his weaknesses. . The footage got smaller each of his years in HS.. but those were the things we would work on...like when RB wheels out of the back field. ..he has to get on his horse and get over the top.. or when filling his assigned gap he has to hat and hand half the man..not just bulldoze the gap cause thats not going to happen in D1 ball with 320 lbs OL men that just as strong or stronger...when he is tired his weights go to his heels and he false steps...those are the things coaches evaluate and if they can be easily fixed..then its a no brainer...Like we see Allison's dismal numbers as a QB... but a good evaluator may notice the things he does wrong and easily fix them...so the numbers don't discourage the evaluator. ..Richt told me that size is very small factor in the evaluation process...performance can trump size..So dont get excited by highlights they are one side of the coin.

Somebody should have told that to Golden...smh...was focused to much on size than speed...

Hire Kul and let him decide who he wants. That man is the DL whisperer.
 
Highlights are what get you noticed. Then coaches take a look at you further to see what the concerns are.

That's exactly the way it is everywhere.
 
Kid looks like a lotto ticket type for a power Florida team, but the type that a USF, UCF, or West Virginia would gladly take and develop.

**** near all these coaches are focused on size.....

its down right embarassing. Its big for them. Ive sent hudl highlights to different coaches and even at the div 2 level these dudes have prerequisite on heights....i sent a div 2 school hudl highlights of s fla kids with div 1 offers and dude told me....i need cb's that are 5'11 and over 175. I just lol'd because the kids have offers from div 1...and this small school wwas downplaying them because of his size requirements.

Our last two coaches had some wierd size fixations....Golden definately all spots..Randy..at db...but would sign an anorexic linebaacker that reminded him of himself any day lol...

Richt may not have a huge size requirement....but he does...his rbs generally come in pretty big....
 
I don't mind too much that Richt likes larger RBs...

Butch did, too - with the only exception being Portis (I think)...

They turned out pretty well as have many of Richt's RBs...

As long as he's open to difference makers who don't fit the mold, which I suppose we'll find out soon enough...

I saw him last year too, would've never thought he was a four star recruit.

I've watched film and saw him in person twice.

There's plenty of South Florida kids I'd take over this kid
