They didn't evaluate. Period. They don't have the staff/support that other sites have.

If they did have a forum they would simply reply that they individually analyzed these players and their staff felt 'such and such player was worthy/not worthy of a certain ranking.'

Being treated like a king at UofH is equivalent to being treated like a preferred walk on at LSU. Houston is a commuter school. There is no culture. It's in a big city with pro teams and a disparate populace so you get very little attention in the media.

If he is as good as expected, he will dominate and be an early round draft pick. But no big time games, no high quality opponents, no prime time, no CFB Playoff hopes, no rabid fan base, no media attention, no sports science and nutrition, no Tommy Moffitt, no Ed Orgeron...in short, he is selling himself massively short.

What's the deal with Willie Allen? Sounds like y'all feel like he's overrated. Is there any interest?

Interest is there, but maybe not as much as before. Plus, he blew off the picnic to go fishing.

I hate to break it to you, but coach moffitt does not have a magic wand that other d1 S&C coaches arent privy to. It's not rocket science. And nfl scouts don't base their evaluations on media coverage.

Man Houston isn't fricking around this year.

Just a general observation

F**k ESPN! They moved every single LSU player is the 300 down other than Thorton who got a huge bump. If Savion Smith is not in the top 40 then hell has frozen over

I think he is an Alabama lean, but if you look at alabamas current recruiting they are made up of several OL.

And to stay comfortable too. One day he won't have his brother and HS coaches to hold his hand. Well at least his HS coaches

I don't believe it's over with just yet. We haven't yet seen an LSU game yet. If LSU's line tears it up this year we could flip some of these guys or land some that aren't considering just yet. A big year for LSU and the end of this year and next two years classes could be ridiculous!

This is 100% true. I live here and it is a bunch of parents and young adults taking night classes after work. Although they have greatly improved the campus life over all and developed pretty nice FBall tradition. However its always gonna be a commuter school when you are right in the heart of a city with the job market of Houston

We're Number 1 on 247 and rivals so they're prolly just following the crowd.
