But looking at that 247 list isn't exactly making me feel great about their individual rankings. Whittington is way off the other services there, as are Kenyatta Watson and motherfucking Jake Smith, who doesn't even crack the 150 and likely wont since he was out for the all star games. We've beaten their hilarious bad ranking of Roschon to death at this point, but Jesus H. Tap Dancing Christ it's still hysterically bad. And Marcus Washington, Under Armour MVP says hello as well from 300 spots back. Just fucking horrible. Washington barely cracking the top 500 on the 24/7 rankings is fucking hilarious.

This is a guy that started the year in the top 50 prospects. Had committable offers from bama, osu, Texas all with a bunch of others. Barton Simmons saw him in a camp. Washington was injured but still participated and still won WR MVP at the camp. Barton dropped him like 400 spots after the camp. This is why these guys work shitty jobs as recruiting analysts and not for recruiting staffs for actual schools. They have no idea how to evaluate players. Saban, Meyer, Herman all thought this guy was worthy of an offer but Barton Simmons dumbass takes one camp and drops him bc he didn’t like his speed in the drills lmao. Edited January 4, 20196 yr by victory88
January 4, 20196 yr Gotta think Washington skyrockets up the rankings after his performance all week. Roschon will probably move up a few ticks, too.
January 4, 20196 yr That’s why, although I love having highly rated classes, I’m more concerned with the coaches getting the guys they want. I learned my lesson after Burton talked shit about LJH being a bad take and EJ talking shit about Rondale Moore in comparison to Waddle. Herman and his staff have proved themselves time and time again that they know wtf they’re doing in regards to evaluating talent.
January 4, 20196 yr I wish they'd actually produce scouting reports for the players. Then, we'd know exactly what goes through Simmons' mind.

However, he's not entered the NCAA's transfer portal and hasn't indicated to anyone that he intends on leaving. /// Per OrangeBloods, winter conditioning is scheduled to begin on January 22nd when the spring semester starts. Shane is set to follow Orlando as he takes the new HC position. - Chip Brown the night before NSD2 Edited January 4, 20196 yr by Vertigo
January 4, 20196 yr 31 minutes ago, Vertigo said: Shane is set to follow Orlando as he takes the new HC position. - Chip Brown the night before NSD2 I actually think there's a non-zero chance that Herman is grooming Shane for a coaching position on Herman's staff. And, frankly, if that's going to happen, Shane spending a year or two in the Air Raid would be a pretty good use of his time. Then bring Shane back and bolt on some of the useful concepts of that system into Herman's offense.

There is a danger of falling into the “we’re not cfb coaches so we need to defer to those who are” way of thinking, but the data so far seem to support that Herman makes much better talent evaluations than most in the 995 crowd do.

January 4, 20196 yr So it'll either be Spencer "Bangin' in the Boys Room" Rattler or Old Testament Prophet Tanner Mordecai starting at QB for OU. A true freshman or a redshirt freshman against Sam. Yeah, I like our chances. OU is replacing guys and then some at the skill positions, but those OL don't grow on trees. OU's OL will always be good with Bedenbaugh there, but they won't be 2018 good.

January 4, 20196 yr Love 9.95ers accuracy.... "OrangeBloods saying a rumor they've heard this week is QB Shane Buechele is looking at transferring to SMU for his final year of eligibility." Dumbasses.... Shane has 2 years of eligibility remaining due to Redshirting this Season....

But it is true that his list of misses is a much longer list. DeShon was a top 20 player and the best or 2nd best safety instate. He was highly ranked. So was Collin. He was a 4 star prospect that just didn’t go to any camps. His rating would have been higher if he did. Poona was a 4 star DL. All 3 of those guys had lots of P5 offers. I do agree with the rest. Roach, Omenihu, Wilbon, Nelson. Williams, E Rod, Shack, LJH were great evaluations. Those were guys that had good size but needed to reshape their bodies and develop technique wise to play at a high level.

Once a kid is on Campus, who gives a shit how high he was rated if he ends up a bust for whatever reason. Successful recruiting is more about evaluating talent, potential and coachability correctly..... then developing the Kids into productive quality players that raise the Team to an Elite level....

January 4, 20196 yr Y’all act like Dele is a 280lb stone foot mlb. He was clocked running down the sideline at 21mph on kickoff this year.
