    The only thing I worry about is it looks like he plays against the same competition Shane Brostek played against.

    The main reason he's a solid prospect is his height/weight/speed attributes. I'm not sure in this instance the level of competition really matters too much because of that. He's raw regardless.
    Level of competition makes basically no difference, ever.
    Well I wouldn't go quite that far, but I agree with the general principle.

    What do you mean? You watch the kid, not his comp.

    The competition all sucks.

    If you can't build in a fucking sliding scale for throwing kids around who are 5-9, 150 vs 6-7, 270 then you should not watch film.

    Outside of maybe 5-10 high school leagues in the country, the vast majority of high-end D1 caliber talent will run circles around the balance of the league that they play in.

    For example, you can't look at the film for any player in the state of Washington and try to measure how good they are based on the competition they play against. That's insanely FS ... reminds me of kids that played with my brothers in high school that tried to argue that they were better players because they had more RBIs or whatever.

    The reality is that you know a high end D1 player when you see it ... just like you know a high end professional player when you see it when they are playing in college.

    You aren't going to 1-up Dennis ... stop trying.

    Out of a million plus kids 8% will play college football but only 2.4% play D1.

    It might have deeper meaning but it's beyond my comprehension at the moment.
