Yes. It is horrible for me today because Rivals just bumped Gervon Dexter, the guy I said this about on July 2:Donk taking a beatdown
Ive said repeatedly I don't really give a damn about stars for OL and DT, bc it is the hardest position to scout and scouts tend to be wowed by skinny linemen who can dunk basketballs. I've probably said that 1000 times by now.
Every now and then there are guys that just stand out, like Gervon, or Dominique and Sharrif, but most are just works in progress and you are only guessing about their drive in the weight room and their edge/meanness on the field.
Give our current roster I just don't give a damn about a 200 pound DE. Even if he is a 5.8 and our current guy is a 5.7.
I do care about stars bc obviously these guys should be watching tons of video and camps. Generally I will defer but sometimes I look at a kid and say "I just don't see what they see in that guy" or I just don't care about their ratings bc like now, a position is well past full.
I never say "just trust the coaches" bc obviously, like last year, coaches get desperate and clearly our scouting department (now almost all fired and some who were holdovers from the last regime) couldnt be trusted either.
I don't trust 247 at all bc they use the Oxrageous types who run the 247 boards purchased to capture forum members and they are anything but objective.
