He got rave reviews from Rivals guys about his ability to turn his hips, but ESPN says he's rigid. That they rely almost exclusively on film is one thing that ESPN needs to improve on. They haven't devoted enough resources to recruiting to be able to send scouts out across the country to see guys in person outside of one game every couple weeks that they broadcast on ESPNU along w/ the U/A game.

I wonder if this will change with their push to takeover localized sports coverage ala Espnchicago.com. If you have a team of local writers no reason you can't have one recruiting specialist. The demand is there.
