Yea, 247 should drop whichever score is furthest from the mean and use the average from the remaining 3 for their composite. They should also have a "hot" indicator for players that recently received multiple strong offers. I'm sure they already monitor those players so that they can prioritize their evaluations.

Stop it. Your getting TonyB all hot and bothered with your 247 indicator talk.
 
6'5" and 265 lbs. Does he stay at DE? I would love for us to be able to keep Kongbo at end and move him inside on passing downs. I just think guys like Austin Smith and Darryl Taylor are liabilities in the run game. We need Kyle Philips and Kongbo to both stay at DE.

Judging by the pic of him and Butch he doesn't look 6'5" (6'2"or3" maybe) and looks like he might be heavier than 265.. Butch is what, 5'10"?
 
SIAP, but he told Callahan he was 280. Said he doesn't feel it, but he is. We plan to start him at DE but he is open to anything.

I have not watched much of his film, but I know he is very disruptive. I would like to see him get stronger and stay around the weight Shoop wants his DTs. I think we have a lot of great DEs on the roster. I would like to see some more depth in the middle, at least to put bigger bodies there so they can block the gaps. It would be amazing to be able to rotate DEs and DTs throughout the game without having a noticeable drop off in talent.

That's certainly what you want in a dline

This Butler kid will be 290 by Fall camp.

Good natural strength and quick!
He'll be 300 solid by his sophomore year. And he'll just add strength and agility.

Might be the best DL prospect we've signed since Tuttle.

A lot of potential on defense in this class. This is why Rock may have been Butch's best hire yet. If these kids are developed right and coached up we could be nasty on defense the next few seasons.

Bad storm last year. We saw glimpses of greatness from Shoop, before injuries took hold.

Just waaaay to many. No way around that.

But this class will help right away. In terms of depth and special teams. But I like our DL in this class.
