And yes Rob has drastically improved each year IMO. Much more so than anyone else at his position outside of AShawn in that elite SEC DL class. He hasn't regressed in any year unlike Chris and Montravious and contributed more than Lawson by staying much healthier.

And it doesn't matter if you Meant Benito or whoever, the point still remains that if there isn anything that is a big factor in a kids recruitment at this point, we all know about them. We even know about the stuff that doesn't make a difference, like which school you cheered for growing up ala Benito

You act like Freeze takes these guys and puts them all in the draft early. In reality, that has only happened for the guys who were gone after 3 years regardless. See CJ and Channing, or for that matter Gross. These were all kids of Simmons caliber, and they have all been developed very little or in Gross's case just not prepared for the next level at all.

Jones had his best year at State this year. Missou and then Arky are the best games I've seen him play at State, he absolutely dominated the line of scrimmage in both, to say he has regressed is laughable. He was recruited as a DE and has been molded into what will be an elite NFL DT. He hasn't gotten the exposure that some others have but not due to lack of development, the guy he split time with for 2 years is currently playing on Sunday's. You are smart enough to know the strides he had to make from playing as a 265 pound DE in rural MS to a 6'6" 305 pound SEC DT. You're also smart enough to know that he's going to have a much better pro career because of it.

I'm know you know football, I know you know that all recruits aren't created equal. Why then compare these kids from the middle of nowhere in MS to the most polished HS DL recruit maybe ever? They aren't playing the same game, they aren't the same projects.
