The chances of a kid this highly rated and recruited by those guys are far less likely to be a bust then a success.

ETA: And I guess a kid has NEVER improved from his high school tape that you watched either.

See, we can go both ways with this.

I think once he gets to college he will improve greatly but right now I don't think he's that great. He gets by because of his size not his technique.

I'm a pretty good judge of talent but the tape I've watched of other top DT's from previous classes have really opened my eyes in regards to who the great players are and just the good ones. I also have the benifit of playing the game and I can look into a mans eyes and see what kind of drive he has when times get challenging and can tell if he doesn't want to be there anymore.

Not necessarily. Most 5 stars don't live up to their scouted potential. Chris Davenport
