Who says personal growth is impossible?
I'm as guilty as anyone of believing what I want to believe when it comes to recruiting services and the validity of their "process," as it pertains to a specific Gator recruit. But it is perplexing, to say the least, when the disparity between two services' evaluations is so exaggerated that it scarcely seems possible that they are talking about the same player. Without being a statistical whiz kid, I have to fall back on the "mental coin-flip" method of whom do I decide to believe and who do I think is probably blowing smoke out of their azz.
Of course the tie-breakers are just as subjective as the conflicting evaluations I'm trying to sort out in the first damn place. Do I trust the staff, is the first and most obvious variable, followed by do I know enough about the relative merits of the services to decide that one is more reliable than the other? In the case of Janvier, I'm going to drink the kool-aide and go with the much more positive evaluation, simply because that's what I want to believe in the absence of some compelling reason to go the other way. There I go being a nit-wit fan again.

He’s at all the rivals camps though so they’ve clearly seen him. 247 says they saw him st one practice and didn’t like him. That’s all Stampenis will say on the subject. That’s not a reason to drop a kid 1000 spots. He’s currently at the rivals 5 star challenge going up against a plethora of elite kids. We will see what they think after the fact.

1600 ranked prospects don’t dominate at rivals camps the way Jovens Janvier did. And he did it against other 4 stars while overweight.
I compare him to Ethan White. You simply can’t teach the kind of natural strength he plays with. At the rivals camps, he was just stonewalling guys. One player, a 3 star DE, quit when going against a second time. Dude flat out quite Janvier was manhandling him so bad. The whole camp went nuts, jumping around. If he does what Savage tells him, he’ll be a beast.

He’s got to lose a little weight and work on technique but he’s got unquestioned potential and talent. 247s ranking is them saying he’s terrible and not worth a d1 scholly1600 ranked prospects don’t dominate at rivals camps the way Jovens Janvier did.

We will take a full class plus some countbacks if we can. And we will lose many of the last Butters remnants.

Looks like Wingo could use the Savage treatment. He definitely has room to put on some weight/muscle.

That’s great news. Everything that I’ve read on him up to this point has been that he’s never really considered us.

He hasn’t. The game changer will be Wingo. Could be this years Diwun for us on the trail. He’s got some talented teammates and others who want to play with him
