    The same info we’ve created for free here. I hope he ends up good but from a distance I agree.

    There’s an 81% chance Ektard is wrong. There’s a 100% chance he’s just as bad for progrum as Roof.

    I can’t recall ever seeing a recruiting analyst for any of the pac12 teams I follow trash recruits. It feels like those douches work for uw, which should be somewhat concerning if you care about integrity (the great folks at HH do care). Years ago there was a guy here in the nw that noticed something odd with some recruits ranking and started tracking it. He was able to show that those fucks would increase their ranking evaluations for the recruits that signed with uw in order to push up uw’s class ranking. To be fair I don’t recall it being a huge bump, just that there was evidence something was happening. What is sad is how many fans are too stupid to see it and keep paying for that shit.

    I have another Roof story for the next pod.

    It's a bad look for UW that he passed on us (as well as this entire group of 5 stars that apparently have planned this) and it's also true that he'll probably be a dead beat in Miami.

    Wayne may suck, but like you said, the optics are bad.

    He’s not a real 5 star, but you take the chance because he has tools. He’s a good enough athlete to play DE or TE in college. He won’t actually get a chance to play at Bama or Georgia. He is better than Smalls, but it’s kind of a similar situation.

    Don’t disagree but maybe he has a big senior year. Honestly he is more impressive on offense.

    I hate the argument that he’s relying on his athleticism and the lack of passion automatically translates to college. If you are a mathematical genius and have to sit in the remedial class are you going to rely on effort or your genius?

    People said this about Thibodeaux and he worked his ass off in college. Competition is exactly the antidote to relying on athleticism.

    I am not saying he’s a sure thing but there’s really no such thing. At least with him, you’re not projecting physical attributes.

    Georgia and Bama process their fair share of kids. It’s a numbers games.

    This isn’t true. A high motor is a skill and there are so few guys that just turn it on. He should be able to dominate at Lincoln simply by showing up. It’s not tough. The genius you speak of could pass the remedial class in his sleep.

    That he isn’t dominating and is often JAG that looks impressive is not a good sign. The best precursor for future success is past production. You are spouting the bullshit that used to be spouted on board that high school doesn’t matter.
