I think Smalls has been talked up a bit too much by certain Twitter pros. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make it into 4 games in 2020. The base is there though, if he works hard he could be special Yep, Smalls is going to be the victim of the same thing McDaniels has been victimized by - outsized expectations due to being overhyped.In Smalls' case he'll be around long enough to live up to those expectations, if belatedly.In McDaniels' case I wouldn't be surprised if he's disliked by most of the fanbase when he goes pro.People don't realize they are doing these kids a disservice when they build these massive expectations.

I love how every year we talk about how we have these 4 stars in our class that should be 5 stars and we try and convince everyone and then we get our first 5 star since Shaq fucking Thompson and people are really out here trying to make a case that he isn't a 5 star hahahah

He wasn’t as athletic as advertised and he was dwarfed by many other defensive ends. He had a solid game and is an active player but is he a five-star?"

If he was underwhelming because he was raw or because he had no pass rushing moves, that’s fixable. If he’s a mediocre athlete combined with some prima donna in him, it’s not a good combination. If he was going anywhere but UW he would be a bust. 5 star, but he’s really a mid level recruit for us. There has been nothing in two years to be especially optimistic about.
It’s tough to judge from these games, the D seems to be at a huge disadvantage vs the O
The game grades from bleacher report gave him a B+, which is what several other 5* guys were graded. The only other pac 12 guys I saw on the list were a Stanford K and that 2nd Oregon qb commit who both got the lowest grades

FWIW, BR is not the same as it used to be

Looks like he needs to hit the weights and he looked visibly gassed. I think he has some intangibles you can’t teach. Work ethic? Does he want it bad enough?Can lake or other coach motivate and coddle him into a Star... dare I say a man.... an nfl prospect. They obviously feel they can and so LIPO.
Cyler Miles looked great in that game.

I thought his size and athleticism were the intangibles that couldn’t be taught. News that he is nothing special in this categories is not good.These games are meaningless, but I would feel better if he dominated, as would everyone here.
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.
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.
