    I didn’t move the goalposts. None of the examples you gave are meaningful data points on his evals.  Hutson was terrible as a true freshman, which isn’t his fault. He played because our OL room was shit, but it doesn’t answer much about evals/development. Hutson’s now going into this third year and not slated to start at this point (though he could by Fall if he’s healthy) so he’s still a question mark. Robertson playing part of one game and being serviceable but not good and Agbo averaging one snap per game as a big TE are also not meaningful data points. 

    Must be hard to go through life trying so hard to avoid admitting error. Do you, bud. 

    I disagree with the point you were trying to make.

    I never said he’s bad at eval/developing, just that it’s an open question. Your examples of guys being thrown in early due to roster issues or being in a large TE package don’t mean much. His evals/development are still an open question. We’ll get plenty of answers this year and next. 

    You don't have to move goalposts when you make a mistake. Just admit the error, then modify the point you were trying to make.

    You literally said "His evals are a bit more of an open question as the only guys he’s recruited that have actually played are 5 stars. We haven’t seen him eval/develop his lower takes yet."

    Come on, man. It's not a big deal.

    If I had to guess, he’s the 5th or 6th guy in a 6 OL class and the staff believes he’ll be patient and provide depth until he’s ready to play as a 4th or 5th year guy. If we get guys like Fasusi and Lamont Rogers, then this is a good take. If he becomes the 3rd or 4th OL in the class, it would be more of a problem. 
     

    The other part is Flood is a size queen and seems ok with overlooking certain issues if he thinks the guy can play at 325+. I don’t like all of Flood’s evals, and I think he overrates size. However, he’s also clearly good at coaching the OL.
     

    His evals are a bit more of an open question as the only guys he’s recruited that have actually played are 5 stars. We haven’t seen him eval/develop his lower takes yet. Cam Williams will be the first one this fall, and he looked good in the Spring game.  But if we can keep landing guys like Banks, Baker, and Fasusi, who have size and all the other traits you’d want, it won’t matter too much. 

    Cole Hutson started nearly his entire true freshman season as a 3 star guy. Agbo has shown signs of productivity as well. Robertson basically played the entire OU game.

    A lot of the other guys are showing flashes in practice as well.

    The sub pays for the YouTube OTF fwiw. Instead of letting YT take 50% of subs as a platform fee. 

    Like I said before. That site isn’t for talking about anything it’s for reading the OP and asking clarifying questions not interacting with the other members. 

    It's crazy how people don't seem to understand that none of it exists without requisite support.

    That forum can be as cringey as it wants, just ignore everyone other than the admin/mods and you're set. Find the ignorant posts funny and let the mods deal with the lame discussion.

    Discuss things the way you are used to on Surly or go fuck yourself. Either one works.

  5. Better athletes in the SEC, but better coaches/smarter players in the big 12. 
     

    it’ll be interesting to see how much of that 3 high look we get next year. Quinn/Sark will really take off next year if they don’t have that limitation

  6. Shouting down inanities, posting vulgar memes like “oh fuck, you’re gonna make me hookem”, calling out unnecessary handwringing, and the like is not conducive to building a large community where everyone feels welcome to visit and engage. 

    Being aggressive toward other posters, even when warranted, is generally anti-community behavior too. 
     

    Having surly gives people the ability to talk that stuff down, but maybe there’s a way to encourage that kind of poster to be more active on those topics here instead.

    This is a very interesting topic, appreciate the spreadsheet work.

    Noticing how none of the 1st round WRs were 5 stars, I wonder how “valuable” a 5 star at one position will likely be versus another position.  For example, is a 5-star WR more likely to be a first round pick than a 5-star DL?  I am too busy (lazy) at the moment to do a deep dive, but a cursory look back at the 5 star WR rankings is kind of shocking.  
     

    In 2021, for example, the industry ranked WRs in the top-40 were: Emeka Egbuka (OSU), JaCorey Brooks (Bama), Mario Williams (lol), and Agiye Hall (lolol).

    In 2020: Julian Fleming (OSU), Demond Demas (lol), J Smith-Njigba (OSU), Kayshon Boutte (LSU), Rakim Jarrett (Maryland) and Jordan Johnson (ND).

    Draft status isn’t the be-all-end-all of player productivity, but only JSN was a first round pick and arguably a ++ player.

    Worthy was an On3 5 star, it just isn’t listed on the spreadsheet.

    Not sure if weird is the right word, but it felt like Jordan had a weird career path here.

    I remember him playing corner against Bama in game 2 as a freshman in 2022 once Jamison went down and he seemed like someone the coaches trusted early. Then he was moved to nickel and rarely heard from again outside of special teams. I thnk it's been mentioned before that Gary Patterson kept telling the staff to move him to safety. 

    He's not a corner, not really a nickel/star. Maybe a safety if he has the eyes for it. Watching him get torched by Iowa State in 2022 pretty much turned me off on him as a contributor here.

    Just lacks the foot speed and hips to stick in coverage

    Biff Poggi - This man is tired of your shit and also sleeves. He's a disgusting fatbody who probably reeks of mung beans on the sidelines.

    Excuse me, but I assure you that if he were truly a frequent enjoyer of mung beans he would not be so morbidly obese.
