AUC Recruiting Podcast (3 newest shows on page 13)

Gotta think the services do not give much love to FB's.

They don't for the most part. Scout is the only service that has CC as a 4*. The rest have him at a 3*. Most services rate recruits on pro draft potential. That's why you'll never see more than 1 or 2 FBs/HBs a year with a 4*.

FTR I don't like recruiting services rating high school players on pro draft potential. I understand there is some natural overlap on a number of positions and schemes but the bottom line is their main job is to evaluate kids on how they project the impact kids will have on their college team. Chandler Cox is a perfect example. He is a 3* on three of the 4 major services. Now it is up to Chandler to live up to his potential but there is no way somebody can convince me that CC does not have the potential to have a 4* impact for any team that uses a FB/HB whether it be pro set Os like UGA, LSU, Wisky or power run space teams like AU. Positions that don't get drafted as high or as much get penalized wrongly IMO. All positions should have a skill and some cases size criteria, including C, FB, K, & P, that an evaluator should analyze to rate their star level. If the prospect meets all the criteria or a very high % of it then that prospect should be a 5 *. There does not have to be a 5* at every position. If the most likely impact of the best player at a position is a 4* then so be it but it should be on how their skills and size translate to the college level, not the pro level. College football and NFL football are vastly different games after all.

Well said E. I totally agree.

I don't doubt Atkinson is a great athlete but no way he has a 6 feet 8 inch vertical.

Maybe high jump from track? Best I have seen or heard of is about is a 48-49" vertical, a hair over 4'.

Just listened and yes they said high jump, not vertical jump. Huge difference.

Not really. High jump is a form of vertical jumping. ;D

Sorry guys. I was typing and listening at the same time so it was easy to get a word wrong. Atkinson part is fixed. 6'8 high jump not vert jump.

I can't imagine what it would be like to jump 48" off the ground. That's just crazy. I mean, that means you clear a human without lifting your legs. Sorry. That's not on topic. I just got lost in the fact that a person of the same species as me has ever done that. Ridiculous.

We need Jones, Becker, and Walker and need Atkinson to stick. I hope the stars somehow align for that despite the poor product we've put on the field on D in recent weeks.

What's up with the recruiting podcasts?! I'm disappointed in Hoke and Neibuhr...

Just be glad they were doing them. They don't have to do them and make them free ya know. I can tell you they have not done any this week because Hoke is in Vegas covering the basketball team.
