    Fairly certain this kid is aggy but no idea what Gerry’s “hi” was about this morning.

    Its going to be so annoying if it’s not about Butler or Moore. Gerry is great and I know this board loves him,  but the whole “hi” thing is stupid if it’s for a silent commit that isn’t announcing soon.

    I just watched McKinley's junior and senior tape and it doesn't scream 5-star to me. Great size and frame, but it's just a lot of clips of him making kinda normal DT run stops, not wreaking havoc. College guards will be able to hold those blocks against him for longer.

    Compare, for example, to Colin Simmons' tape, which is him running past 6A tackles practically before they get out of their stance.

    Well, Simmons is an Edge, and I think that’s a position that more easily pops on film, but I do agree with your overall point that McKinley doesn’t play like a 5-star.

    People talk about this with OL, but I think that DT is also a position that recruiting services are just really bad at evaluating. Too much focus on ready-made frames and measurables, not enough on actual gameplay and potential for growth.

    Sarkisian has spent a lot of time working to keep Hampton. That's as much about setting a standard in the state at this point as it is the value of the player. If you want to see it differently and go full milquetoast on Saban just doing whatever the fuck he wants in recruiting, that's your prerogative. 

    Do I think Hampton amounts to anything at the next level? No. He has every red flag. I don't give a fuck about that at this point. I don't think the two head coaches are worrying about that now either.

    I understand your overall point,  but if Saban’s only Texas recruits are Casey Poe and Hampton, I’d contend that he is not “doing whatever the fuck he wants” here.
