Was talking about this same thing the last day or 2 and ran across the tweet this morning. I agree but was using for example a 3* in Georgia or florida isn’t really the same as a 3* from TN, generally speaking. Mainly due to who they practice against and play against each week. Iron sharpens iron. 3* in Ga moves up to Wmsn county playing against very little D1 talent each week, could set records. Problem is there not a D1 OL blocking and likely not a D1 qb either and no D1 defenders to go against in practice. I think Brentwoods biggest recruit signed with Peay. Walker Merrils brother who never got over 5’9. Couple DL to Etsu and similar. That’s it. Played in state semi. We wouldn’t win a game in ga division for 2k student school. Telander for example I believe was a 3*. He dominated in toughest division. Can’t imagine what he woulda looked like in TN https://x.com/theherd/status/1864752917422776649?s=46&t=ZNxDuoK-BtXwN91CvqobFQ
It's not a perfect correlation. For instance, a 3 star in GA may not even be rated were he to play in Tennessee.
Yeah, there’s not a chance in hell that UVA is spending more on its roster than UT, Oregon, Auburn, and FSU.
We have several recruits in the Polynesian bowl tonight at 9 est Gmac Travis smiff Sanders Utley Brame
I just watched his highlights from the year. The first couple of minutes won’t really impress. This is definitely a depth get and likely 3rd down and 2 minute back imo as he looks really good coming out of the backfield and catching the ball. Maybe we will finally use it. I didn’t really see Small in him. He’s got a burst and can get thru a hole but I’m not sure about his vision and feel between the tackles
The highlights I saw looked like he had good vision and a little shifty. But no top end speed and below average power.
