There are absolutely exceptions to the rule. Cannot argue at with that.
Agree. What I find confusing is the offer list. This can be a function of not having the resources/coaching to guide you through the process. I can't gauge the highlights either, but was it inferior competition? How did the world miss it? I am glad the coaches are not being lazy and checking (although likely a referral), but we have been stung before by unknowns that did not work, as well as others, like Colt that obviously did. At this point, I trust the coaches. Time will tell
Sometime kids just get flat out missed by evaluators. He's built like Duvernay and runs alot like him. Looks like he's also the starting PG at his HS. SMU pursued him and that staff knows a little bit about throwing the ball. Not saying he's a must have but I wouldn't turn up my nose at him either.
He's been committed for some time.
There are a lot more exceptions than you think. There are only 30 5 stars a year and 300 4 stars and 2,000 3 stars. We aren’t getting very many 5 stars and won’t until we produce on the field or our NIL deals are just that much better. We can’t fill our team with 4 stars because of the same reasons. We have to take flyers right now and hope our staff and coaches can develop them. If they do we’ll get better recruits. But NIL may change the whole calculus.
Do you have some sort of self-imposed requirement that you must be inaccurate in every post?
Nobody wanted him. He was just a 3-star from some place called Jim Ned.
My point on Colt was that once he committed to TX very early in the recruiting cycle nobody else had a reason to look at him. If you listened to what Greg Davis said afterwards he knew Colt was very under rated. If TX had not scooped him up it's likely he would have been able to generate some interest from other schools.
