Isn't she a little young for you?
 
I'll be honest though...the folks HB had to throw to were ridiculous so I'm not sure how much weight I put on those HS stats.

'19 Ramel Keyton - #111 National 4* WR
'20 Arik Gilbert - #5 National 5* TE

Having those guys and other pretty high rated skill players I'm sure helps a ton with putting up numbers. I'm sure some of those kids ended up playing with HB in HS because of how good he was too, but his entire career in HS he had talent around him that were actually higher rated going into college than he was even.

Keyton hasn't done a damn thing since he stepped on campus. Gilbert didn't exactly kill it last year either. Most highly rated QB's play with ranked targets because they play at big schools that attract talent.

don't forget Ricky White at MSU and another kid that went to FAU.. embarrassment of riches for a high school offense
 
Why are we still giving mental bandwidth to what HT did or does in the future? Just doesn't make sense to me. If I were to be bitter about any of the guys that left it would be Gray and Lawrence because they're TN kids.

Beyond, "I hope we toast him on some slants, Beckwith runs through him, and Evans breaks his ankles when we play Bama," I just don't care if he has a good/bad season or where/if he gets drafted. He's gone, and right now living rent-free in a bunch of heads.
I'm bitter about them too, but they didn't go to Bama. So there's that.

It does make me wonder why Pruitt, Chaney, and Heup all don’t seem that fond of Baileys skill set.

What has Bailey done in college though?

The point is while in HS he had stud talent around him, regardless of what they've done in college they were studs in HS. Just something to take into account when looking at his numbers from then. Fromm (also on that list) played with far less talent, you can watch QB1 and see how much bigger he was than his teammates.

Hard to do anything on offense when you played under chaney and pruitts system esp for the receivers. You basically had no shot to make an impact.
