Instant analysis: Putting a flag down in... Hawaii?

Can we not shit all over a kid that just committed and hasn’t stepped foot on campus yet? Good grief….
You have the positions reversed in terms of how Texas plays them. The smaller more agile guys play inside, the bigger more pass rush oriented guys play Jack and Buck on the outside. His size is fine for a guy who just finished his junior year for this position. He's currently 210 with another year of HS and only needs to get to 225 or 230 to be fine.
No, but there's a difference between athletic as an outside linebacker and being able to play safety. He's not the type of quick-twitch athlete that needs to exist to play in the very back end. JMO.
Again…why is making the NFL your measure of success? With that bar, aggy’s recent class, considered the best ever, is going to be a failure. Only 1/3 of their 30 signees are high 4 or 5-stars.
Looking at the history of recruiting classes on Rivals, just getting 1/4 of your class to be high 4 or 5-stars gives you a Top 3 class, or at least a Top 5 class. How do you explain that?
Rodriguez is a more explosive athlete, If you've never seen his senior HS film, you'll be amazed that he was a low three star athlete.
He just didn't get evaluated. He went to zero camps. Had two offers.
check out his senior stuff.
Is this someone the staff may move on from if more highly rated prospects want to commit?
I'm properly framing it with regards to the historical data that exist.
Comparing him to Lewis is a compliment. Linebackers with his physical profile have less historical success than players with more ideal frames.
Thanks. I assume both carried more weight than this kid, but maybe not as Freshman. 🤷🏻♂️
Any idea where we stand with his 5 🌟 LB teammate?
His teammate and sister now at Texas...
+ @Suchomel and @Cole Patterson in case you know.
We go to a Hawaii for a low 4 high 3 star player? I’d rather offer a local kid.
No, code for a LB not spinning down to SS. How many LBs do that besides Woody?
Why? Failure rates in Texas for lber are pretty high. This is the best lber in a state highly underrated in its per capita football player production.
We need to recruit Texas less at some positions. Like this one.
Again, why is your historical data measuring success based on being drafted? To me that bar is too high, given that even the best recruiting classes in history only have a 1/3 of their class rated high enough to truly reach your bar.
a. It's not subjective data.
b. It actually is a fairly low bar. It allows for a large parameter of success within the college level.
c. Contrary to opinions, it has far fewer anomalies than most want to believe.
d. As a general rule of thumb, you can add 10% to all numbers to account for players rated that weren't drafted that male the NFL.
And who was at USC in 2005…Sarkisian. Boom. Sure fire NFL player now.
