This is accurate. We (or should I say I) overshot a little bit on Harris' ranking and after seeing him this spring that was a consensus with people I spoke with.
...
Mays struggled mightily at the Nike camp in Atlanta and wouldn't be ranked as high as he is if it weren't for me fighting for him in the meetings.
Emerson weighed in a 297 pounds this spring and will be a defensive tackle at the next level more than likely. After I get a chance to see him play this fall he'll likely move positions.
Harris committed out of the blue and was already set to move down in the rankings. As was noted above by another poster, we already had him ranked much higher than others.
Alontae Taylor has moved up every rankings cycle since he committed to Tennessee. At least three other prospects moved up in the rankings since they committed as well. There is no conspiracy.
...
Based on what this spring did you not like?
He went from 195 to 215 pounds and lost some of the athleticism that goes with that.
...
He added too much weight and lost some of the fluidity that made me think he was a top 100 guy to begin with.
I was always on an island when it came to his ranking (much higher than others) and it looks like I was wrong.
