Hypothetical Question (Or actual question): Who do we trust to evaluate prospects more?

Woody Wommack, Southeast Recruiting Analyst for Rivals. One of the guys responsible for rating Dickerson so highly and causing people here to question Butch's sanity.

Oh haha! thought for a second it was a pre-pubescent Wes Rucker.


Wait... is there such a thing as a post-pubescent Rucker?

Who knows, but all the smaller fish we had as filler options are evidently not getting spots. So looks like we get atleast 4 of the five if not all, or are taking the 3 only. I think it's the first option.

He's friends with Dickerson from the AA game. He, Guarantano and Dickerson hing out all week. That was the report anyway.

I am sure that's correct but most of what he would know would be coming from the weekend and not what happened when the kid left which is huge in this case

It's a testament to the status Rivals/247 has built with fans that even though there are numerous examples that show we are not planning to take him (unless we miss on a couple other recruits) that fans still refuse to believe we would turn him down based on his "ranking" by these websites. Impressive job Rivals and 247, tip my cap.

If Butch didn't want him I don't think Butch would have Guarantano and Osborne working him for so long. I don't think he comes here because he waited too long.

We are on the same page. We wanted him at one time for sure. When that was I don't know but my guess is when Tatum committed this kids recruitment was over

I'd love a Warrior, Byrd, Kongbo, Dickerson close...would be 2nd best finish possible to adding Brown in there somewhere.

FSU is gonna have a monster haul on the OL if they get Williams and Dickerson on Wednesday. Dickerson would be the 6th OL commit. Hell of a haul if they can pull that off.

Me too. I'd rather get the good OL in the program and developing than a RB.

We can always grab a couple Elite RB's next class and they can come in and play year 1 much easier than an OL.

You can always go JUCO running back if need be too. Much harder to go JUCO OL. See Blair.

If it came down to it I would take Dickerson over Moss for sure. But that's just me.

I would as well after thinking it over. Hurd and Kamara just like 2015 will see all the carries. Kelly gets the garbage reps. CFA will RS unless one of the 3 is injured. If they took Moss he will RS. Was Joe Young a well spent scholarship? Not really. Focus on RBs in 2017.

A. Everything Eazy has stated about Dickerson has been correct. He said the staff sees him as a guard (not a far fetched statement). Where do we have a ton of depth? Offensive guard. The 3 we have committed are all viewed as OT.

B. Who gives a sh** what rivals rates him. Maybe we don't rate him as highly as others, which would explain why we never in-homed with him even though we were in his top 2.

C. If recruits were getting a grey/blue shirt offer, it would have came earlier (I.e. Hart).

D. Like VQ said, DL is much more important right now than OL in a smaller class with 3 already committed.

It isn't an ignorant thought to think if we get Kongbo or Brown, we passed on Dickerson. People get entirely too caught up in star ratings. Dickerson is definitely a great player, but Bama is slow playing him too right now. Hmmm. How could they do that to the #2 RANKED OT?!??!? Maybe it's because they're not as high on him either.

What I have been trying to convey but this conveys it much better! This is truth.:good!:

Hindsight is always 20/20. Having only 3 scholarship RBs is NOT enough.

Yeah, when he saw JG coming.....

Perhaps, although Johnson committed to Tennessee a full 4 months after JG did. So, well before he committed, he knew JG would be coming in a year before him.

My point was simply that I seriously doubt that Jones told the top ranked QB in the country to scram....I don't know for certain, but it sure seemed like Johnson left of his own accord to go to Clemson...perhaps it was because he saw the logjam at QB at UT created by Dormady, Jones and JG.
