Nothing about that says I know more than him. I just disagree, you don’t need to know more to think a kid like this probably doesn’t need a scholarship to come here.
If you can't see that saying HCFB wasted a scholarship on this kid isn't saying you know more than him, I don't know what to tell you.
Here are facts.
Your implying you can evaluate DB talent better than Fran Brown who is an elite DB coach. Just because others didn’t know about him doesn’t mean he isn’t any good. I question your ability to evaluate his “highlights”. Sure highlights don’t show mistakes but they do display his athletic abilities which are fantastic. Do you know how rare 6’-3” guys are with legitimate cover skills? And a broken collar bone has no bearing on injury concerns. That heals and it’s over with.
And there is a big difference between unrated kids and low rated kids.
I chose to stay near where I lived (in Danbury) rather than move to Groton. I took a position with a privately held top-20 German pharma called Boehringer Ingelheim, headquartered in the US in Ridgefield CT.
One reason that kids don't get rated is because they don't attend camps sponsored by recruiting paysites.
The #1 DB coach in the country vs the board know it all. This should age well.
I know it and have been on that campus. Just idol curiosity. I work with all the pharmaceutical companies as an architect and developer
Have you actually watched his video??? I’m very certain you haven’t. The kid looks like a complete stud worthy of a 4 star ranking
Which idol you referring to?
You sound seriously misinformed. You say you don't know the NJ divisions well yet you somehow make foolish declarations like "wasting a scholarship" on a player you know NOTHING about and as if you know more about this recruit than Fran Brown AND Dino Babers Staffs - both of whom positively evaluated then decided to recruit this late bloomer of a prospect. If Fran Brown - the #1 recruiter in the nation - has decided to offer this young man a life-altering college scholarship to play Corner for him, who the hell are you to call it a "waste"? The only "waste" was the time I spent responding to your uninformed ignorance.
This is absolutely true. My kid is a very good HS baseball player and there are kids on his HS team ranked in the state. My son is not and (although inherently biased) my son plays better in games and has better stats. However, we haven’t done the circuit and all these 500 pay to play auditions locally or nationally. It makes a massive difference. As far as my son and those things, can only lead a horse to water and there is only so much water in my tank
Not a single one - talking straight out his arse.
As with IBM, I designed and implemented their compensation, incentive and performance management strategy. Being privately held, they had no stock so it made attraction and retention of top talent challenging. But back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Rutgers and PSU were getting involved when we did.
My sister in law worked there for years but has been with Novartis for awhile now.
To be fair, Ibn was most likely offered based on his measurables (height, 40, vertical) and, more importantly, as a product of the staff's multiple connections in NJ. I don't think much can gleaned from his tape given the level of competition. The OP's "wasted" scholarship declaration is ridiculous without knowledge of what the staff has heard about the kid, let alone taking into account their years of experience identifying and coaching high level DB talent.
He has elite measurables, not debateable, but what can be gleaned from his tape is that he’s fully recovered from an injury suffered his junior year. You can also see on his tape that he never gives up on plays and even if the comp isn’t great (I’m not sure personally) you can still see his body movement, anticipation and positioning for cover skills. Now the schools Elizabeth played this year, many are schools that put out P4 talent so I don’t think the comp is horrible.
