'17 TN OL/DT Trey Smith (UT commit 12/6/2016)

[Glitch]

Butch, to Nick and Urbs:

Yep.

 

[31VFL]

Leave it to swain to blow the cover

He will do whatever it takes to get listeners. He was one that ran with the Crowder stuff.

Got to say Butch is doing all he can to land Trey. Hyams now saying that Smith is a UT lean. Maybe getting an answer this weekend is being unreasonable but it would be sweet.

In all fairness though, she is alumni, and was already working at the NCAA, so she has qualifications and history here. It's not like some moves that are done at other places.

A visual representation of Leb's "joke":

You won the internet with that one glicht...I chuckled heartily.

 

[Catbone]

POWER MORE folks. Believe it. We make the greatest deals don't we folks?

 

[CroKev]

If they are anything like me and my sister when we were younger, he will probably be as far from UT as possible.
Hopefully they are more Leave it to Beaver.

Had to LOL at this one. We're buddies now but growing up with my sisters and brothers was a different animal:no:

Do you think Tim Couch experiences a flashback with this story?

Ok, so Trey is:
the #1 player in the nation (and 5*) according to ESPN,
the #5 player in the nation (and 5*) according to 247,
the #20 player in the nation (and 5*) according to Scout,
and the #33 OT in the nation (and 4*) according to Rivals.

Someone please tell me how the 247Composite has him as a 4 star and the #52 in the nation? How in the world does that average out? I'm starting to doubt the 247Composite score now, previously the only rating I took much faith in.

EDIT: He's the #33 OT per rivals..

Have little faith in any of it and you will be just fine.

This is why stars don't matter. One of the most high profile guys in the class and there are still major discrepancies between sites about his ratings. How do you think that translates to a kid that hasn't been to every camp in the country? These recruiting sites sometimes have about as much info about some kids that we do.

 

[bignewt]

There are thousands of kids getting evals, no way there is any true degree of accuracy.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

#1,5,20,33 isn't THAT big a discrepancy when you consider the amount of athletes rated.

#33 on one site and #437 on another would point to a "wait, wut" moment.

Rivals doesn't have him at #33. That is for his position. Not his national ranking. That is why his composite is low. Rivals has missed the boat.

I'll allow it.

Yep.

C'mon dude. Where's the pizza?

It's more of an indictment on Rivals. Kinda like when Tom Lungbill insisted on rating Kahlil McKenzie lower than the other recruiting sites without a legit reason.

Is that Dobbs?

Trey looks pissed off
