The truth is every one of these kids is a crap-shoot, it’s just like hiring someone off the street...

You can have great references, solid job history, interviews, etc. that’s life in general...no guarantees, just minalizing the down side as much as possible...only one guarantee...there will be 2 and three stars that perform much better than expected and 4 & 5 star busts - happens in every class, every year - natural attrition...no way around it

It’s called statistics and standard deviations -

I know what you mean, but we've gone over all of this many times. Less 5-stars bust, on average, than lower rated prospects...and so and so forth.

We want the players that are rated the highest.

In a perfect world, I would take:

Sopsher (not his brother - in a perfect world)
Devonta Lee
George Pickens
Quashon Fuller
Darnell Wright
Nathan Pickering

Realistically, the ones I think we get are:

Sophser x2
Devonta Lee
Maurice Hampton
Quashon Fuller
Byron Young

Absolutely, the numbers prove what you are saying! Bring on more 5 stars! (This is the only serious part)

Maybe we can start rating recruits by number of shrimp instead of stars?

Did you know Jacob Hester was a two Shrimp rated recruit? In honor of Ed O!!!

Anyone for recruiting Shrimp? I’m with the “Captain”...lol

Off-topic but I hated that fricking class.

Didn't help that the prof barely spoke English.

I'm sure these two things aren't that far off from one another, anyway.

Good on you, though...having faith is a good thing.

Would y’all be upset or happy if Bama pulled scholly from Williams & Young and gave the 2 scholly’s to The Sophsers? I’m gonna assume we would get both Williams & Young...

Ecstatic. But there's no way that happens.

Honestly, this is a tough one. I think Sopsher is going to be very good.

I’d be ok with it.
2 quality players for one.
Especially with the question marks surrounding Ish

Like your ‘realistically’ list better. Add Pickens if Hampton opts for mlb.
Hope it works out to keep Parker.

Why does everyone assume that if Young and Williams don’t get Bama offers that they will definitely come here??

I don’t assume anything.
I just follow the smoke.
And there was smoke.
