My goodness…take a breath man, or a lap, or a nap. This site has its share of assclowns and just regular everyday dumbasses for sure, but we don’t need nor want the thread filled with Atlas Shrugged sized responses.

You may be 100% correct about this prospect, or maybe not. Either way, we.do.not.care.

And if you think being early on a kid is bad after being offered by Baker, one of if not the best LB coaches in the nation is questionable I can’t help you. I promise you his offer sheet will be immensely different thru the camp circuit this summer and the LSU offer alone.

10.48 is blazing.

Never said an early offer was bad...I said offers for this class are not early anymore. I also mentioned that according to 247 Sports, LSU has already offered 175 prospects for this class...A&M has offered 348. So obviously is it not "early". We will see if Ross' offer sheets get some impressive names on it. So far, the only one is LSU.

I still want to know two things about his speed. 1) what is his 40 yard dash time? 2) was that 10.48 wind aided? I will guess it was. Most sites list his best time for the 100m at 10.63...significantly different from 10.48, but to be fair, Lester Earl posted that result in a track meet held March 7 I think, so the info is brand new.

Take and lap, then keep going.

Thanks Notadouche bag for ruining this entire thread. Just a bunch of BS started by you. Thanks so much for your expertise! Can't wait for you to ruin the next commitment thread!

Why.

What would that tell you about his ability to play linebacker. Surely with all your indepth scouting you could list your grade on 6 or 7 LB traits to play at a high level.

Fast enough is fast enough.

Since he's so concerned with stats, here are a few interesting ones from this thread.

NotaStarGazer's "I Didn't Hijack the Charles Ross Commitment Thread" stats:
- 52 unique posts (and counting)
- 4,609 words
- Countless emojis used
- 51 upvotes (almost assuredly all his own)
- 419 downvotes
- 0 fricks given by the rest of the board

Glad to have Charles Ross on board!

Thanks for adding 0 to the conversation. I didn't ruin anything. You must be one of the most ardent homers who buy into every player signed by LSU since you are too lazy to actually look into prospects. Why don't you just spam another thread because you added 0 knowledge to this one.

This is the guy who started a thread and said we only need 1 DT out of the portal and we'd be good there.

So a 100m time is so critical for a LBer who will never run 100m in a game but a 40 yard time is irrelevant? Surely you are joking. Why then do the combines run 40 yard sprints? Why are 40 yard dash times the center of judging speed? Because quickness on a football field counts a lot more than long speed...especially for a DL or LBer.

I will be happy to list my LBer traits I like:
1) quickness (first step and 40 yard dash time type speed)
2) size/fitness
3) tackling ability
4) football instincts/quick at diagnosing plays
5) defeating blockers
6) discipline in doing your own job and not others
7) poise/not getting personal fouls and unsportsmanlike penalties

Watching 3-minute highlight clips that are available to everyone on the internet and looking at a website that reports offers is not "scouting prospects". These colleges have access to full-game film, talk to other coaches that have coached against these players, see them in camp settings, and rely on decades of coaching experience to make these offers and accept commitments. You post 50 times a day on tigerdroppings. No one is saying he'll be the next Patrick Willis, but we'll take their expertise over yours.

Wow!!! You actually took the time to come up with meaningless stats. Slow day for you I guess huh? (Psst, that will be one added to the countless emojis). As far as no one caring about my posts, then why are you and others still responding to them. I notice you didn't give us a total of the responses...yeah, I wonder why. Oh, and like I said, I was finished posting on this until the OP decided to literally put my userid in the title of the topic. Oh, let me guess...another symptom of being irrelevant right? This has become comical...it really has. I have gotten under the skin of many posters by simply giving an opinion on a prospect with the reasons behind that opinion. Wow...just wow!

I did say that assuming that Shand and/or Jones would move to DT which I still say will occur. I also said that no team in college football...not Alabama or Georgia, etc is stacked at every position. I also said like many other posters have said that secondary is fine. That was in response to the Chicken Little posters who said LSU's secondary would be a weakness...it won't be.

Actually, I'm apparently doing more scouting watching highlights and looking up offers than most posters here including you I guess. Your comment about access to film is laughable. LSU has access to Ross film...so does home state A&M...so does home state Texas. 125 schools could talk to HS coaches also. Yet, Ross' offers are very poor.

BTW, hyperbole is not helping your credibility. I have been a member of TD for 90 days and have posted exactly 10 posts per day on average. You claimed 50 posts per day. You did take Math 101 right?

Took about 5 minutes, just like providing context and stats to further conversations

You have been on this site for less than 3 months and have over 900 posts, you definitely weren't done posting ITT and clearly still aren't. Must have gotten under your skin so you felt the need to double down and prove you are the smartest guy in the room. Glad we have an expert talent evaluator on our board to tell us how to feel about offers and commitments! Makes our lives so much easier!

Watching highlights and reading offer lists is not "scouting". It takes 4 minutes to do the same thing that you are doing. It is not impressive nor something that only you are able to do. Everyone else just gets excited about a commitment and waits to see what happens when they get to campus. You make definitive statements about a 16 year old and argue with anyone that doesn't agree with your opinion.

Tons of kids claim "offers" that are not committable but get posted to their profile. Committable offers is what matters at the end of the day. I'm sure you are in the know with each staff and know which offers are committable or not. If he was able to commit to LSU, we're excited about him and happy to have him.

Continue to give us your expert "scouting" reports on each prospect, we can't wait for you to tell us how to feel!

Like I said...10 posts per day, not 50 as you claimed.

You're welcome. Oh, for the record, I never said how you should feel about offers. I said how I felt about Ross' ability...that is not the same thing.

Never claimed to be a homer. I give my honest appraisal which of course is 100% reasonable. As far as statements about the future, funny how some posters have already said basically how great he will be. So I guess that is OK huh? They aren't waiting for him to get to campus.

That is true of course but Ross isn't even getting offers from any other major program.

No problem...sincere requests are always welcome.

Adams film is basically unwatchable due to short length and poor camera work. Adams at least has decent offers. BTW, on your math statement that I clipped, obviously you can count to 2. I still suspect you don't know the difference between 10 posts per day and 50.

His film is unwatchable yet you formed an opinion that he wasn't much to be excited about either, despite him having strong offers listed? Huh, interesting.

Reverting to personal attacks regarding the ability to perform simple division seems below you based on how you want others to treat you, but guess that's all you have bring to the conversation at this point
