What about the 19 season when Bama lost all of its LBs , was he hurt also when they had to start freshman LBs, if he was hurt I understand but if not, he was clearly overrated and certainly received the Bama Bump.

I hope LSU gives him a hard look because he's a stud. Maybe Alabama just wasn't a good fit for him, but he's worth giving a look. We need stud LBs and he could help tremendously!

It’s because players almost always get a magical bump in the ratings shortly after committing to Bama. It’s pretty comical.


Considering how much they win, it's accurate.

Just goes to show you, not all 5 stars are actual 5 stars, And there's plenty more "5 stars" that wasn't even close to the evaluation from these recruiting sites Js!!

Recruiting rankings are fallible and we should remember that more often.


You're preaching to the choir. I catch more shite here for telling people this. The focus on overall class rank is the biggest fallacy.

Devin White was the 151st ranked recruit overall in the nation in 2016. (He was also listed as a RB not a LB)



Well there ya go. He wasn’t evaluated as a LB and if he was he could have easily been a 5* sooooo....

I saw at the bottom of the article that Sopsher transferred to USC, I hadn't heard that.

Penn is a guy no one ever really talks about but he’s going to be a beast.
