'll see if I can find the quote, but I recall reading a recent article (since camp started) where GP was quoted about his recruiting of DL. Basically said he doesn't even look to see if the kid can play football. He's looking for athletes or something along those lines.
Yea see that really doesn't even make sense, being a football players goes well beyond just being an athlete. Like that big OL they had from Ohio, Freeman I think, a real physical monster, just not the mindset to play football.
BTW AJ Harris is a Rivals 4 star..
Considering the fact that we offer plenty of 4-5 stars that we just don't get I have to conclude some of what comes out of COMO is simply coach speak for, "we just ain't that good at recruiting the stars kids".

Yeah, I've pretty much gone to using 247's composite scoring. I see some guys on the recruiting board cherry picking rivals, scout or 247 depending on who has the hire rating and think that's horseshite. Got no problem if they use rivals, just as long as they're consistent. AJ had been a 4* on the 247 composite not long ago by the way. So he's right on the cusp there too.

No, we just still can't compete with the blue bloods in the bigger picture. I would like to think we can compete with them for the instate kids though, which is what makes Hentges and Ofodile sting. Bottom line is we're not gonna get many 4 or 5 stars out of Florida or Georgia, which gets right back to offering the Tennessee WR who is closer to home than a Florida or Georgia kid.
