Tom Luginbill: hater, incompetent or innocent oversight?

[IrishLax]

Here is a series of tweets I thought were worth sharing. Apparently I wasn't the only one who noticed the injustice of Tee and Deontay getting left off the list of guys who might rise:

IrishLoyalSon
@TomLuginbill Tee Shepard and Deontay Greenberry both get all-tournament team and no mention in your article? What's up with that?

@TomLuginbill
@IrishLoyalSon Could have wrote on all 150 guys in attendance, gotta make choices for time and print space.

@TomLuginbill How in the world did you not mention Greenberry in your skill player breakdown?

@TheRealKev Our piece isnt based on who made all tourney team. Would luv to mention lots of others too. Many worthy

It's worth noting that the big reason I care is that Greenberry has NO BUSINESS being the #90 WR... so he sure as hell better have potential to rise.

 

[NYIrish14]

Those are bogus excuses lol but Greenberry has been upgraded to #75 reciever and a 78 grade. He was a 77 before The Opening. Also, wouldnt you write about the players who peformed the best at the 7 on 7 rather than randoms that were in your 150? Once again Luginbill screws up.

Oh wow that must have just happened. Got to say that is WEAK that Treggs jumps up to #20 and Deontay gets a 78. I don't know what they hate about him so much.

 

[ryno 24]

On his defense he gave Ferguson a lot of love earlier when he was not ranked very high

Notre Dame commit?

 

[IrishLax]

Notre Dame commit?

Don't think so because they like Ferguson. I really think it has something to do with his physical attributes or film. That's what a lot of people knock Tee for also (his 40 time)... which makes no sense with how he dominates.

 

[military_irish]

In reality all recruiting sites and scouts view prspects differently. Just like a poster on this board that was a scout (his name escapes me) talked about how Ferguson was slow and would not be a top 10 WR just in FL. But now he has shown that he actually is a great recruit.

It may just be one thing Luginbill sees that he don't feel like writing about. Every scout looks out of different eyes.

 

[NDPhilly]

Can anyone confirm or deny that Treggs is in the Under Armor game on ESPN? Because Greenberry is in their "rival" the US army all American game. Greenberry and Treggs were rated about the same on ESPN. Greenberry played as well if not better than Treggs. Greenberry as all the physical tools and speed is fine. Treggs on the other hand is 5'10". It's just insane how Treggs could be moved up 60 spots while Tay B only 15. Just one of the reasons I'm a rivals guy

 

[military_irish]

As of now Treggs is not on the UA Roster

Thanks

Richardson from Michigan is on that list which may be the reason he is somehow rated above Tee Shepard.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Darby is participating in the UA game and ESPN has him ranked the lowest of all the services.

 

[GBdomer]

espn recruiting coverage is horrible.

 

[johnnykillz]

Yup.

They will be all over our nuggets once we regain glory, though.

lol.

Yea by like 10 spots nothing drastic

 

[phork]

lol.

Ahh yes.. The pre-eminent ND return to glory... Almost 20 years and counting!

 

[johnnykillz]

You mean prominent.

I got you, crass bastard.

That's the only road they can be on, they can't be on the road to mediocrity they are already on that one.

Moving on up.....

 

[IrishLax]

For what it's worth... since this post was made Greenberry has moved from #90 to #75 to #49... but only up one point from a 77 to 78. Maybe this is one of those things where he needs to show more in pads.... who knows. But at least the injustice is starting to be slowwwwwly rectified.

 

[phork]

I got you, crass bastard.

No I meant preeminent.

 

[johnnykillz]

No I meant preeminent.

Roger that.

Pre-emergent.

 

[johnnykillz]

No I meant preeminent.

Manti has been called many things.

We already have a conspiracy theory thread.

The last thing we need, is reference to WMD.

Continuing to make tweaks and as a staff decided Deontay Greenberry will enter ESPNU 150 at this time. #espnu, #notredame

 

[Sherm Sticky]

TomLuginbill Tom Luginbill

Greenberry #146 overall #19 WR and a grade of 80.

 

[IrishLax]

Twitter pressure for the win... or maybe overruled by the rest of the staff. Who knows... but I'll retract my disparaging remarks for now

Does this mean Greenberry can run a little faster now? I kid I kid. I'm just not all that concerned about what Tom Luginbill or the ESPN staff thinks of a recruiting prospect.
