Crump is a staple on those Coverage units, He & janzen Jackson are special Team Killers!

Probst looked very competitive vs UGA.

I don't think anyone will say Dallas is a 2nd or 3rd shelf player. His offer list is sick. The reason a lot of people get worked up over players like Devrin Young is because of a lack of an offer list.[/QUOTE]

Which in most cases is a much better evaluation of a kids talent than the star system. A solid offer list tells alot about a players ability and at what level.. JMO..

honestly, every evaluation method is flawed, save elbow grease. It's a lot of work to find kids that work and fit. Those logging that time get it right more than those who don't.

I'm not trying to argue with you but would he be any less of a talent if no one wanted him? Has Askew been a worthwhile scholarship though everyone wanted him?

Guys like Young are either players or they aren't. Right now... it seems he is more likely to contribute than Askew.

Doubtful. IMO. To see significant time for Young will be suprising. Example is T. Thomas for one. He is bigger, plays better competition and faster than Young yet the rivals ratings are similar. I think Thomas is much more likely to contribute than Young.

Star count evaluations are often driven by offer lists, not the reverse.

Coaches are probably aware of stars a player has, but if you had to bet your job on who you sign, would you trust a comittee of journalists you never met over your own experience and the expierence of the staff you work with and get paid millions more than the journalists.

That's not to say star ratings as a whole are valueless. Just a reminder on which system drives which.

Thanx for the insight. I feel much more relaxed about the whole situation since that has been cleared up. Thanx for the reminder. :salute: LOL GBO

As a returner? Young's elusiveness compared to Thomas isn't close.

Depends on which role you are talking about. Young's shuttle time is much better than Thomas. He is much quicker and more elusive.

Maybe this has been answered before, but why has UGA not offered Dallas? I mean, everyone else has - even Florida.

3*, 2*, and 2*, right?

I noticed Probst and Sapp on ST's Saturday.

This guy has made a ton of tackles on D for the amount of playing time that he has gotten. I'm pretty impressed with his ability. Crump and Sapp have both been very reliable on special teams. That's a good sign for the future as far as I'm concerned.

In all honesty, every year there are 15 or 20 recruits that really distinguish themselves. Those are the five star game changers. You recruit a 3.5 star average and sprinkle in a few game changers and you can compete, but you have to do it consistently.


I'll only say this once (I shouldn't put it in print) after watching Tom Smith on TV earlier this year he reminded me an awful lot of Lattimore last year.

So I went over to a USC board yesterday out of boredom to see if/how much they were freaking out after their second loss. I also wanted to see what they thought about Monte since their defense is so awful. The funny thing is the OP stated that they had all these highly-rated players on defense, and was wondering how the D could be so bad. The majority of posters that responded stated that the players had low football IQ's and that they didn't "get it". They stated that they didn't care how many stars a player had, and that it will take getting in recruits that the staff wants to be able to run their system effectively(even though they've run the Tampa 2 before now). I contrast that to our board and it seems that everyone here wants all of the highly-touted recruits, everything else be da****. I just thought that was really interesting how with both of our teams struggling, but for different reasons, the two fanbases seem to have opposite views. USC fans want more guys that "get it", that the "coaches want to fit their system", and that stars don't matter. It seems that everytime that gets mentioned around here the mob is after the poster.

Anyway, I just thought that was interesting and figured I would share. *Enter obligatory comments about how much of an idiot I am for visiting said board or about how you don't care what their fans say. Sprinkle in a "cool story" or two also.*

LV....Dallas seems like a really good prospect but i don't know a whole lot about Williams other than he's Saulsberry's teammate. The only thing that concerns me is they are both in Gainesville and UF never even looked at them.

The reason Florida never offered is because they just had the best defensive lineman class in college football history based on recruiting rankings.

I don't believe UF would've offered if they had not. I live in Florida and i'm very familiar with UF recruiting.
