re: Boom #1 *Disregard, Offical TD Talent Evaluator, NotAStarGazer says he won't start at LSU*

Guy, you don't understand the term "explosive". 40 times are much more relevant to a LBer being explosive than 100 meter times. As another poster said, his highlights don't jump out at you....bbbeeccccaaauuusssseee, he isn't explosive. Looks like a decent college prospect but being the #5 LBer in Texas, the #40 player in Texas, and with weak offers proves my point.

And BTW, it wasn't just 4 minutes of highlights. It was from evaluations of multiple recruiting sites and over 100 college football programs...most of which haven't even offered him a scholarship.

Damone Clark was a speedy LBer who saw a lot of growth under Baker. Who is to sat this kid doesn't develop as well?
First, it is irrelevant to compare a young prospect to a player who now has an LSU and NFL history. We could use that type of analogy ad infinitum. Second, I didn't say I was placing a wager on his future performance. Hence I used the "JMHO". But for "highlights" they were pretty darn meh.

Because all you idiots have the Harold Perkins rushing the passer syndrome. You think there is no impact being made unless they are coming down hill.
Watch his highlights again. His first 10 or so highlights, he either gets his hands on the ball (INT, or batted pass), or he is turning around running in coverage.
The best LB's in modern football are able to play outside the hash. West Weeks and Tyler Grubbs definitely aren't doing that
. Whit Weeks, while instinctual, was lost outside the hash marks as a Fresh (hint, he can't run like this guy and isn't strong enough to shed blockers, either). That skillset is way more valuable then being the best athlete on the field and just running after the QB like Cobbins, for instance. Or Harold Perkins as a freshman.
The best is yet to come for Ross. You recruit traits. The Jr film just so happens to be good, too. You just don't know what you are watching

First, I saw the batted passes...these videos are called "highlights" for a reason. I never mentioned Perkins so that comment is irrelevant to me. Whit Weeks can run sideline to sideline easily. I saw the athletic ability but you are right in that with the LSU defense this season, a LOT of guys were lost...not WW fault. Ross is definitely faster than Grubbs who tackles well but doesn't get to enough plays. I saw no proof BTW that Ross could shed blockers..or couldn't shed blockers. Once again, scholarship worthy but rated properly by the recruiting services and his offer sheet is for a very low 4* or 3* player...it simply is. As I said, he won't start an LSU game in his career but a decent player.

Queen's offer list:
LA Tech
USF
USA
Indiana
Nebraska
Tulane
LSU
That's it.
Ark, Tenn, A&M, UF, Ole Miss and ASU all recruited him, but didn't offer. I guess his film didn't pop.

Once again, comparing a guy who proved out to be better than his offers (Queen or WR Jefferson for that matter) is irrelevant to this player. For every player you can find that was "underrated", I can supply you 20 names that were rated spot on.

LSU actually has a laundry list of high rated LBs that didn't pan out and lower ones that did.
I guess you "AreaStarGazer".

dude, Get a grip.
He is 6'2" 205 and is running a 10.48, and able to play in space. You are calling him a backup before he even grows into his projection

Right! Some people just talk crazy on here.

It's insane. Some kids have a hard cap to what they can become due to their athleticism, or lack thereof.
this kid is not that

I'll stick with my prediction he will never start an LSU game
Making this take before a kid has even played his sr is absolutely retarded

As to you calling him a future starter I assume after not having finished his HS career.
Oh, and BTW on the Whit Weeks hit about not shedding blockers, blah, blah, blah. WW is playing in the SEC while Ross is playing in HS...albeit in the highest classification in Texas. That is not remotely a fair comparison. And yes, I'm projecting Ross just like 100+ colleges projected him with the vast majority not interested and all the recruiting services rating him where IMO he should be rated. Ross appears to be a mid-level caliber starting LBer or a Power 5 conference 2nd string guy.This post was edited on 3/10/24 at 3:10 pm

that most active portion of a recruits timeline starts right about now until the start of their Sr year. Pretend like you have followed recruiting before.Posted on 3/10/24 at 3:13 pm to LSU1215

Or some people actually do their due diligence on players and aren't homers. And some of us don't depend on his 100m times but actually view football highlights, at least glance at the ratings, and also check out offers from schools. His offer sheet is light even for a low 4* rated guy. But I will give him this...if he has an offer from Yale, my guess is he can understand defensive schemes for sure.

All of this mean nothing
All of that goes out the window when these kids get on campus
I don’t know why yall continue to make posts like these
It’s impossible to project how a kid will develop 4 years from now.
