Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5126357, member: 40"] Kirby Smart from Georgia said that he gave Fran Brown carte blanche autonomy to target recruits, even if they weren't rated -- because he had such a good eye for talent. Now, that doesn't mean that every prospect is going to end up being a stud. For example, he recruited a guy from NJ last year [who looks like he's going to play RB / KR for us] who NOBODY ELSE was recruiting, but he's a track star who's one of the fastest people in the US at the high school level. As in, he's one of the 10 fastest kids in the country. Can he play football? Or is he just a guy who can run fast, but has lousy hands [for example]? Time will tell. But he's got BEYOND elite speed. I think that's an example of what I mean. If this dude ends up being a KR "only" but busts some big plays, everyone will be happy. [/QUOTE]
