Other college games thread: Week 4 May as well get this going with Major Applewhite taking his South Alabama team to Appalachian State tonight on ESPN. SEC truly gets going this weekend: Florida @ Mississippi State Arkansas @ Auburn Vanderbilt @ Missouri Tennessee @ Oklahoma

I do wonder in the NFL eyes as the season moves along ... who do the scouts see as having the higher upside long term. To me that's the question

Missouri and Tennessee healthy teams … Oklahoma has the talked about issues But Nick Anderson is a go https://www.secsports.com/fbreports

No. 8 in 2025 class https://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/rankings/_/class/2025

This is one of the ones this thread is for

lol Sark's last week before the forced injury report!

Alfred wasn't a 5-star recruit. He had that ranking by one, I believe, but he was more of a top 60 level prospect nationally. Based on the Harold Perkins criteria emerging in this thread ... Johntay Cook and DJ Campbell would be forced into the discussion. If a 5-star guy isn't a dominate player of first rounder, is he a bust? That, to me, is why it's a dangerous path to go down.

There are interesting conversations ... because if we are being real, that means we have to look at Texas having 2-3 guys looking like busts if this is the criteria!

The question was if he's a bust. Those aren't the numbers of bust, any way they are attempted to be sliced!

I agree with this ranking ... but I may have UConn No. 1, as they made the FF with a slew of injuries last year.

Yep!

Texas trying to get him on campus this season for a game ... but nothing is set as of the weekend.

USA Today makes an appearance ...

I'm not sure one could label a player with 160 tackles, 13 sacks, 6 forced fumbles and 2 INT's in his career through 1/4 of way through junior season a bust. He's been a very productive player in college. If he stays healthy, he will leave college with 200+ tackles, 15+ sacks, and causes a lot of TO's for a LB/hybrid in a three season period of time. IMO, he will go rip up testing at the combine, and be a highly drafted player - whether that is 2nd round, or shot at late 1st (due to testing and upside).

Not sure if it's continued just being uncomfortable in PC's, or he knows he's up against it this week.
