For like the 10th time, I only look at 247. Best recruiting service out there IMO.

What do you base your opinion on for 247 being the best? Rivals and Hubbs have been around far longer. I really don't know which one is best, other than I think ESPN is pretty bad.

We don't know who gave committable offers, Jason.

Here's the problem with this perspective. If you only have one or two upper tier P5 offers with a bunch of low offers, then you could argue maybe they are not committable, but if you have multiple P5 with CJP one of them, you are probably safe to assume that they are committable. I realize that you hope he does well, but the way you post about it, you hedge so you look like you're right either way. If he's a bust you will definitely come around and tell everyone you told us so and if he's not, you will point to your quote that you hope he does well. Anyway, you keep being you. You will likely soon rival D4H on the ignore list, but I am beginning to think that might be your goal anyway.

Despite the usual trashing from the usual poster(s) - the kid is legit. Yes, we know him from the few years he was here in Seymour. They lived very near our house. Yes, he comes from a great family - very nice people. Chris will do everything he can to make them and us proud. Yes, he's a hard worker. Yes, he went to IMG for the reason of developing into a P-5 O-lineman. Yes, UT was probably his dream school and now that he and his family trust the coaching staff he has chosen to be a VFL. If that had not happened he would not have chosen UT despite wanting to be here. Yes, his offer list is legit and only they know what was committable or not. In the end, it does not matter. We get a stud VFL.

Terrific post. I saw him as a Freshman against Seymour. I had no idea he would blow up like he did.

One last point. The fact that he is a 4 star on a legitimate site and he has that many good offers, should lead you to believe that the offers are committable. That is good evidence from two reliable sources. The fact that 247 has him ranked lower should be outlier.

Through in the fact that he is getting some top quality coaching at IMG. He should need less polishing when he gets to campus.

You could tell he was talented, but no way could you even tell what position he would play in college. It seemed they used him at every spot they could to make plays on both sides. When the family moved to FL and put him in IMG is when it began to take shape as he grew even bigger. When you get real athletes that big you can do a lot with them.

Should have seen him try to golf. lol.
