You said it was fair to bump someone that's going to a Bama level school then said it was unfair that someone had to fall. If you are moving someone up, people have to fall lol
I said "it makes sense" for recruiting websites to follow those offers (Bama, UGA, OSU)- which they ABSOLUTELY do.
And it is ALSO absolutely unfair to drop a kid based off a Tenn offer when the staff has only been in place for 1 year.
Not to mention ...they're NOT really scouts if they're going off offers. :/
A real scout knows talent because he knows exactly how it affects the game of football.
- How and where a players talent translates to skill set in the game of football. Not how kids look running around in shorts and 1 on 1 drills :/.
He knows what he see's on tape. Recruiting websites and player development organizations (NPA) are just snapshots of the world of recruiting and promote based off popularity or money.
A scout see's a kid that 6'5 245 lbs running like a deer, and says that kid has some tools. The same kid get's stonewalled by a LT on friday night and only makes a few plays the rest of the game because a lack of motor, or technique and the scouts knows this isn't a 4 star player. The recruiting website guys give him a 4 star and waits to see what colleges offer before moving him down or up.
So I didn't contradict anything.
