2020 DE Deontae Craig Committed

[Jonrn]

Genuinely baffled at how he, Yelverton, and Hogan are not consensus 4-stars with their offer lists.

It’s because they committed to Iowa. If they were committed the the next highest tier (SEC, Ohio state, Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma etc) they’d be 4 star. These star ratings are 90% BS

Welcome aboard and best wishes to you on the field of play and in the classroom. Good to see us get another one that was recruited by major programs.

Yep. It manipulates one player's ranking a little bit, but manipulates the team ranking a lot.

It would be interesting to see what their algorithms are ... sure seems like you guys are correct on this. I know Yelverton dropped from a 4* to high 3* shortly after he announced.

CP, you scared.the crap out of me by updating the commitment thread.

I'd hope so. Reggie White isn't very good anymore.

Reggie still good. And so is Bruce Smith pre-injury.

good God, he just fucking went right through that dude. Holy Hell!!

My bad, didn't even think of that.

I just felt this needed to be shared because I have never seen an OL get flattened onto his back quite so fast. His "fall over so fast that you catch the other guy off guard, causing him to trip over your flattened corpse" technique almost worked. Which brings up the 2nd most impressive thing about that clip: how quickly Craig scrambled back up and got to the QB.

Anybody else think he looks like Noah Fant in the pic?

I love the Centers reaction. He was clearly attempting to double team but when he realized his teammate was just obliterated, he acted like he was going to block the LB that wasn't blitzing.
