I honestly don't understand that take. A large part of the recruiting process is to look for athletes who stand out among their HS competition because the gap between any HS and P5 football is absolutely huge. All of them have to make the adjustment and few are going to look like a man among boys when they get to the college game because they are all playing against everyone who likewise stood out from the competition. If they have an instinct for what they are doing and have the measurables, then all you can do is project. How is this kid any different from any of the others?Reminds me of what Lawrence Taylor would have looked like playing against 8th graders. I'm sure he's great, but he was a man among boys there. Big fish in a little pond. When he gets to the next level and everybody plays like him, he's in for a shock I think. That being said, can't hurt, right? I say go for him.
I have kids that go to a small private school and the athletics are a joke. There are guys that look like superstars on our team that wouldn’t even sniff the field at a 5a school and wouldn’t make the team at a big 6a school. If someone at Duncanville or Highland Park looks like a man against boys that is really impressive because there are probably only 50 players in the country that could do that. If someone does it against an OL that averages 5’10” and 200 lbs, it isn’t as impressive because there are 5,000 kids that could do that.I honestly don't understand that take.

Again, this guy may be an absolute stud, but you can’t know from watching him play against oompaloompas.
This is what makes evaluating high school players so hard. Most of the country is not at the level of 6A football in Texas. So you do have to be able to project guys who are going against far lesser competition a lot of times.I have kids that go to a small private school and the athletics are a joke.

Our top 3 recruits are from a 4A school, a 5A school, and a school in Iowa. So, while your observation that someone playing against lessor competition (which I pointed out in commenting on his film) is certainly valid, it doesn't really answer my question as to how this kid is any different from the many other recruits that you have to project based on their instincts and measureables (which I also qualified as whether they are accurate).I have kids that go to a small private school and the athletics are a joke.
