This is the only post in this whole circlejerk that really addresses my OP.
That's funny bc you said Chris Brown wasn't any good and used his TD stats to make that point, as if that was the ONLY stat to properly evaluate TD's. When it was brought up to you that there are more important stats, you acted incredulous as to how anyone would think you said that LOL, and have ignored it ever since. You might want to address that too.
I didn't bring up rankings 1st and I didn't say I was better at evaluating talent. Further, for the reading impaired or "negativity"-averse, I never ripped the kid or that ND accepted his commit. In fact, I expressly said I didn't hate the commit, but that I thought ND could have waited on him and if they missed on him in the future, well, he's not making or breaking the class.
You said his offer list sucks and gave only a "maybe" to the fact that the kid could be getting better,
when reporters who were there stated he looked MUCH better. Think about that. An expert, not just a reporter, said he looked much better, and you STILL wouldn't concede that could be the case. You haven't even seen the kid but you still won't give in LOL.
That out of the way, if you want to say, "you know, LSU knows what they're doing in evaluating WR talent," fine, sure. I even said they're a good team that have offered him. But, really, his offer list is not "impressive" as someone posted above my OP. There are a few good to really good teams on there. Feel free to point out the teams, other than the ones I mentioned that are "good" on his offer list.
You said his offer list "sucks". You never said "really good teams", you said only marginal to good. If you had worded it like you had above, I wouldn't have commented as much. But sorry, LSU has an outstanding track record of putting 1st round WR's in the league. And several other schools are quality offers. His offer list does not 'suck'. It's not dynamic, no doubt about that, but it's not nearly as bad as you first said.
Sure, he can get better, maybe he will. If/when that happens, his offer list and rankings will grow. Never said they wouldn't. But, we could have waited until that happens, especially w/such a small class.
In your OP, you really didn't sound like you were giving any wiggle room for improvement. You still really don't give much.
If you had simply stated something like, "I'm personally not feeling this commitment. He's got some pretty good offers, but I think with this being such a small class, if I were the staff, I would have slow played him and waited for bigger fish. Hope I'm wrong, but that's where I'm at. The good news is that reporters say he has improved since his jr film, so hopefully he builds on that."....then you wouldn't have gotten near the reaction you got. I certainly would have respected that opinion, bc no staff is infallible, and I can see why you'd have concerns.
But your OP was worded in a way that I had to respond, bc you basically ignored anything that made him look good and gave little room for possible improvement...
