no

OLine guys from well heeled suburban schools rarely work out . but yes , some do (see Allegretti)

JeffJohnson likes to say that & I agree . you want the lad that had a hard scrabble upbringing and has a chip on his shoulder . those lads see the opportunity to kick some a$$ as a ticket out of the trailer park .

Question about the tight end position. Luke Ford was a high 4 star tight end and went to Ga. How does Sutter, Anderso, or Valla compared to Ford.

Very intriguing (little under the radar) big 3 visit slate this weekend... Williams, Stewart, Bennet.
if they will just take one EDGE, Bennet's the interesting one I think because if you have Stewart on board, being such a late riser his only other visits are UConn and Temple (Bennet). So you may very well sit well in that recruitment too and maybe it is a prototypical take one, say no to the other situation (or he may wish to stay home with a school like UConn and it isn't that open a recruitment).

Given how dependent recruiting ranks are on the school the athlete attends (there's a bunch of evidence that a player's rating is largely dependent on which school they commit to, a recruit that goes to Alabama gets an instant 95, while that same recruit at, say, Illinois, is an 87), this is an indicator that the B1G is highly underrated across the board, while the SEC apart from Ole Miss and South Carolina is overrated.
