Former 5 star Justin Shorter granted eligibility

Geez, finally!

What does "former 5 star" entail exactly? Was he re-rated to 3* or something?

---

Dont pick on Florida like that. Let them enjoy this moment.

Florida is going to beat UGAs arse this year.

Sez the secrant every year.

until bad coaching lowered his rating

LoL

As he should have been.

Sucks for us, but the NCAA at least made the right call.

You honestly believe that Shorter was rerated because of coaching at Penn State?

No chance that it could have been anything else?

recruiting rankings are really accurate.

First, no one says that on an individual basis. It is like a credit score. A great score doesnt mean that you cant screw up. But the law of large numbers favors your ability to repay debt.

He was an underclassmen at PSU, to change his rating when he only has 15 receptions in his career is pretty dumb

---

Have you seen his high school highlights? There weren't a lot of college prospects on the field with him. More information leads to a more informed rating.

This re-rating garbage is all nonsense.

Guys are rated up.
Guys are rated down.

For what it is worth, it appears that most players are rated closer to the mean for their classification (P5 talent).

I get a kick out of Florida fans pretending that a high school kid got worse because of P5 coaching when his prior competition was a bunch of 5 second 40 yard dash DBs. You think it was the coaching that made him worse and not his ability to improve route running, hands, and control his weight?

Driskel wasnt re-rated down.

Kinda defeats your point.

That actually defeats your point.

His re-rating was clearly misplaced since he went on to do very well.

'By 2014 Mary Driskel wouldn't attend a Florida game without headphones. Whether her son was playing or riding the bench, she didn't want to hear it: the complaining, the disparaging, the rejoicing when he was pushed aside. And so, from the opening kickoff to the final knee, Mary let music drown out the game her son had sat at the top of four years before...

"I contemplated hanging them up there," he admits, but after having conversations with coaches he trusted at Florida, other mentors and family members, he decided to stick with football for at least another season rather than go immediately into the business world. "The continuing message, always, was [that] you are a person who plays football," Driskel's mother says. "Football doesn't define you. If you love the game, keep at it, keep doing it, and decide when you're done. Don't let someone else."

Still, in the back of his mind, Holtz reminds himself: Be gentle. Understand. When Driskel arrived at Louisiana Tech, he needed to be taught, not inundated. "We don't need to jump, yell, scream, holler," Holtz says. Petersen, too, worried about inheriting a player who was beaten down mentally. He can't figure out what Florida did to Driskel, he says, and for a moment, the coordinator's voice trails off. He looks perplexed, because he has been analyzing this game for 25 years and can't, for the life of him, figure out what happened to Driskel—or how it didn't drive him mad. Maybe it did, Petersen says. "Maybe he hides it well."

Jeff Driskel currently backs up Drew Lock at Denver. You're just wrong. Re-rating should only apply after the player transfers and plays.

Solid point. This WR may end up even better than his HS rating. Doubt it but it's possible. Not sure why Georgia fans want to shite on this kid.
