[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 764610, member: 265"] I've said it before. It is extremely hard to rate DTs accurately. The best often don't show up until they reach campus, Sapp being the best example of that. The Suhs of the world - the natural all-star DTs - are few and far between and even he didn't start to show what he could do until he played a year. This position isn't like DBs or LBs where speed and size combos stick out like sore thumbs. The other thing is that really big guys can fool you. They are strange as human beings go and can usually overpower opposing OLs in high school. You'd think the camps would help, but the situations there are unrealistic and OLs have an advantage in straight confrontations where speed and stunts aren't on the menu. I say get the best DLs you can, no matter what their ratings, then see what happens. These ar youngsters, after all, and many don't get to their full growth until they are sophs at least. Then play to the strengths of the players you can get. And, of course, keep in school. And I hope James does end up at Georgia Southern. It's a great match for him. [/QUOTE]
