    We? have used thousands of words to say something very simple. Savvy will be great if deep down Savvy wants to be great and is willing to work his ass off for it. All the tools you need are there. The training table, technique coaching and strength coaching will be available. Does he want to be great and will he work his ass off for it is the only unanswered question. We should know in 2-3 years. That's it.

    So you're saying EWIWBI?

    He's not explosive at the snap and doesn't seem to have a ton of answers when he's engaged by a lineman.

    But he's still pretty good. He's been getting blown by TBSers for so long that I don't think he's been hungry for a while, ever?

    Less the TBSers, his father figure coach was tweeting and telling him the disrespect was unreal when he was ranked 2nd in the nation.

    2nd best high schooler in the nation disrespected at an unreal level. Yeah, no. That'll get in your head.
    Even so, if the disrespect was really unreal, you would think he would be motivating Smalls to work his ass off to get better and become the clear cut #1. That didn’t happen. Smalls was a possible meal ticket for Joey Thomas. Nothing else.

    I'm loathe to post the Donkey-Kong Suh picture again so I won't, but I'm more optimistic that considering that picture along with him enrolling this month, being local and having FSP at his disposal over the summer after some reality has been dropped on him, we should be able to have a pretty good idea if we should be crowning his ass this year. If his contributions are meager, I think that bodes pretty poorly for him reaching his potential.
    College football players are big my guy.

    Final rankings for rivals tomorrow, is he inside the top 20 or outside the top 20? I’m guess 24.

    Biggins had a "dont kill the messenger" post on doogman a few days ago re: Smalls and so I'm pretty sure Savell will be dropping out of 5 star range but you never know

    Yea Biggins had some unflattering things to say about him recently but also said the ceiling is pretty high if he puts in the work. They played him at 3 different spots during the all star game. Seems a little harsh to judge him on how well he played when he wasn’t in one spot long enough to do anything.

    Rivals he'll be outside for sure.

    Sticking with my prediction that he'll end up a 4 star on Rivals (and maybe a pretty big drop), 5 star but dropped some on 247, 5 star on ESPN.
