Chemistry seems to be a lot better with a bunch of guys who buy into the team concept. It is evidently hard to get a 5* without a major selfish attitude problem...for us anyway.

I don't know. Kamara, McKenzie, Phillips, Richmond, and Malone were all 5* guys on one service or another IIRC. They all seem to be pretty good dudes (from the outside looking in at least).

I said hard..not impossible. I think Tut was a 5* on one service also IIRC. I hope Philips, Richmond and Khalil start living up to all those *s next year. I am not meaning to be dogging them, They are all solid, but we need these guys who are supposed to be superstars, to start being superstars. I think it is great finding great underrated talent. It is also great not getting overrated talent

He looks like a fool making those comments and then you see he's rated where he is. A guy has 1st Round potential yet he's rated 61st at this position.

They've said the EXACT same things about other recruits in the past yet they were rated extremely high. Just in the last few years Kongbo and Eze come to mind.

He said that his ranking was due to the fact that he hasn't played much due to injury, but his athleticism gives him high potential. Again, not my opinion, his. I hope he's right tho

I hope he's right too, but he just looks stupid making comments like that and then you see how low the kid is rated.

I don't think so necessarily.

He basically just said that Calbert has the size and athleticism to one day be a first round pick, but he hasn't played much football and they can't be sure whether he'll develop the skills to do that.

I don't see why people are having such a hard time getting what simmons was saying here.

Anyone else remember when Jakob Johnson was the best LB in the country on volnation?

You have to play football to be good at football

Carry on

Because they rate other guys high with the exact same type of comments... See Kongbo last year and Eze this year...

Because those are guys they saw as being able to have an impact more quickly at the college level.

They're ranking kids based on what they see as their potential college impact.

I think you can make a good argument that a guy who has 1st round potential but doesn't project as a contributor until 2-3 years of development shouldn't be ranked as highly as guys who project to be contributors right away but lack true 1st round upside.

Also, adding a history of health issues into the mix probably counts for something as well.

Then they should say that in the rating system, all they say is about potential and how they project in college and into the NFL. At least 247's rating system does.

It's a system of ranking high school kids as college football prospects, dude.

That's why sometimes you'll see them some guys who, based on measurables, look to have little NFL future but are 4 or 5 stars nonetheless. Because they're rating kids as college prospects.
