"He plays at a small school and strikes me as the type that won't go to the elite camps since he's already committed. He won't get much exposure so he won't rise but he probably won't fall either at least."
You don't know the kid or the coaches at Smackover so why act like you know what he will do. It always amazes me to see people talk about things they obviously have no clue about. The kid is an elite talent. He has one chance to enjoy the process of going to camps and trying to be as highly rated as possible. He's going to do that....even though you think he won't. lol

At what point in time did I say "I know?" In fact, I literally said he strikes me as the type which infers a 100% opinion. Nothing I said was claimed as a fact. Hence the disclaimer at the bottom. It was spelled out pretty clearly that it was an opinion. Please don't twist my words.
A better response from you, and one that could have led to an actual discussion, might have been "I have to disagree. I know the kid and he's going to camp next summer because he would like to obtain a higher rating. That's a personal goal that he has for himself." Much more rational and replaces opinion with actual facts.

TopHog, I too am very familiar with 2A/3A football particularly in South Arkansas. Not picking sides, but Cheshire is correct in that athletes from those schools DON'T get the exposure and rankings that they would elsewhere.
There are RARE occasions, Jamario Bell, Bryan Jones... but I dare say they would have been ranked even higher if they have been at a 'known' program like an Allen, TX or Jenks, OK etc... The biggest reason is seeing them against higher level competition.
I know Smackover's competition. Good kids busting their butts, playing their hearts out, but it's not exactly playing against top level athletes.
You're right we don't know the kid, but pretty well know the 'norm' for small school football. The kid is a great athlete and player, but he won't get as much hype BECAUSE he's a small school athlete.
Whether he goes to elite camps, don't know. But if he hopes to rise in rankings, he needs to.
