Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5271945, member: 40"] This dude is a cautionary tale about how recruiting ratings / rankings can be manipulated. He was initially considered a defensive back / safety / WR type, and Dohn elevated him to 4 stars when it appeared that he had Rutgers atop his list. But as time went on, and people got a more accurate gauge on his [limited] speed, it became clear that maybe he was an undersized linebacker, rather than a strong safety type. For that position, his speed would be fine, but his size would be an issue. And then it appeared that he might flip to Syracuse, so Dohn cut his grade down to a low three star, which is probably about right -- but the changes weren't made either time for the correct reasons. That, coupled with grades, landed him at Monmouth. Which in the big scheme of things, may have been the right level. 4-star... it was a joke. [/QUOTE]
