Looking at Pat Mahomes offer list always makes me laugh. This kid's offers were Texas Tech, Oklahoma St, and Rice. Kid was 6'3 over 200lb and put up monster numbers in high school yet was rated the 82nd best in Texas by 247.

It's the whole point of why scouting and talent evaluation is so key to have on your staff. It's why a school like Michigan can win a championship playing like Kirby Smart's UGA, pre Todd Monken with outside top 10 classes.

I'll give one of the greatest misses not on your list:
Cody Schrader RB Missouri whose only offer out of HS was Truman State...whoever the hell they are. And I believe his only offer out of there was Mizzou. But hey, Schrader was barely an FBS player. He only had 1627 rushing yards this season averaging 6 ypc.

Now list the thousands upon thousands with such offer lists in just the last decade that didn't pan out. Lottery winners didn't expect to win. They are only a statistic because they did. The lottery always wins the long game. Same for the odds of this kid being anything close to the names on your list. And I'm for taking him. I don't expect an All American though.
