Good lord...David Pollack and Trev Alberts seem a really long time ago! I was sick of the motor talk!

And it's "The One" for the win ! Yes, a good black player has incredible athletic ability. White guys are "high motor" guys. High motor guys are not athletically gifted. They just try real hard every down and never quit (sarcasm). Examples of high motor guys are- 2 time all American David Pollack. Matt Jones (6'5" with sub 4.5 speed & 40+ vert). Jacob Hester. John Lynch. Wes Welker. Wayne Chrebet. Todd Kinchen, rocky Blier, Franco Harris, Steve Largent, Kevin Greene, Howie Long...well, you get my point.

Franco Harris? He was a black guy. Seems to run counter to your point, but maybe I'm missing something.

Okay. Mixed. I guess instead of a "high motor", he's a hybrid.

way, way, way too much stock is put into the star rating system used by recruiting services..... sure, sometimes the evaluations are on par and their ratings are justified....


Top 10 programs consistently get top 10 recruiting classes. Star gazing is justified. The numbers don't lie.

Avg star ratings matter because it smooths out the evaluation errors. To focus on any individual's star rating is folly and a waste of time because there is significant probability that it is wrong.

This kid is legit and relentless off the edge. Coaches are scrambling to make up ground with him after our initial overtures. Too bad they're merely foundering in the wake of our coaches' dominance in courting this kid before everyone else.

Good times.

Good to see him doing well in these camps. He's gonna be one of the those undersized guys that just gets the job done.

Also, LSUs class ranking should get a nice bump after the next re rankings. White, Boutte, and Neal should all be getting nice bumps.

Don't forget Rettig and Jennings have a chance to further their ratings. And Dodd should get a bump soon-- if he hasn't already.
And we all know Patterson is really undervalued. Great class!

Bama + LSU offer should automatically be a 4 star
Best two staff evaluators in the game.
