anyone genuinely calling themselves a "talent evaluator" based on watching some kids hudl highlights is beyond the tard.

A big part of evaluations is not how the look when they are doing well, but how often are they out of position.... when they get beat, how bad is it... are they selfish players.. all things you don't get in a highlight video.

YES

I have been saying this for years.

All you can sort of discern from a highlight video is ceiling. What you can't see is a players floor.

You have to watch actual film to do that.

.....but that is hard and time consuming. Much easier to just pretend to know everything after a quick 2 minute highlight.

There was a kid a few years ago with a Hudl a little over a minute. It was just video of him sitting on the bench cheering on his teammates, except for 10 seconds where he puts on a helmet and starts running on the field thinking he's going to play and then gets held back by a coach.

Sounds like a kid I'd want to date your daughter.

Coaches get full game film from high schools. I know, because I had the sweet job of editing them to have EVERY play of a specific player. For multiple games. My favorite was when some coach from a shit hole in the central valley would send some grainy VHS of a guy he swore ran a 4.4 40, is 6'2" and he just felt compelled to send the tape because he and some other coach met each other somewhere once or some shit and he didn't want them to miss out on this kid who's like a son to him.

The videos would be evaluated and noted by someone before even making it to anyone who could be called a coach. In the decade and a half since there are even more people working on it, staffs have ballooned. Oregon lists 42 staff members important enough to merit a picture on the roster page.

What I'm trying to say is, @dnc is 100% correct. Hudl's are just the ceiling. You see a safety snatching arm punts out of the air, or blindsiding a wideout. What you don't see is all the times he bit on the play fake or when a 5'6" 180 lbs fullback runs him over repeatedly.

Hudl's are fun to watch. You get to see all these great plays and think this is what you're getting. Anyone who claims they watched the tape and evaluated the player after watching a Hudl is deluding themselves.

Having said that, I looked at the Hudl for Oregon's 2020 RB Trey Benson. My first evaluation was a cross of Marshawn Lynch and Derek Henry, but on second thought I'm seeing more of an Adrian Peterson/Reggie Bush hybrid.

Alabama has around 125 football assistants. Those numbers are few years old, but that is one of the ways the SEC stays ahead of everyone else.

He said a bad HUDL. You're describing an awesome HUDL.

If we’re bashing people with syphilis and the clap then I’m out.



Also, hurtful.

Most of them are former head coaches that are being paid by other schools that fired them.
