Horsefly Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I've been following Allen football this season pretty closely and they have two solid RBs, but one is slightly better than the other. Both are JRs but I was looking to see what offers each had and was surprised. Here are their stats and details. brock Sturges- 5'10 193. 151/1107 and 16 TDs kirby Bennett-6'0 195. 120/777 and 6 TDs kirby is a 4**** with 21 offers. Brock is a zero star with 1 offer. Brock is the better back and is quicker and faster. Don't always believe the star rating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Sometimes all it takes to get "stars" is pump money into the recruiting services that create profiles for you. Basically the "recruits" are clients. Kids that attend charged camps, etc. Its all political, that's why you can see teams like Baylor, TCU and Houston surpass teams like Texas. Because those 3 teams don't necessarily obsess over stars. Just guys who can fit their system. Oregon used to never have a high rated class. Boise State, Wisconsin, etc. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of explains your ridiculous elevation of very average TX football teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen things "bought" in athletics that you simply would not believe. I won't ever speak to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 http://247sports.com/Season/2018-Football/RecruitRankings?InstitutionGroup=HighSchool&Position=RB 247 has them both rated 3 stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjd33 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 The most productive QB this season in the BNU isn't getting any looks. Sometimes it's more about intangibles than production. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do the math his avg yards per carry is higher too. He's much more efficient. So his coaches see what I see as well. I'll take the coaches that have BOTH on the team as the better evaluators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsefly Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 7 minutes ago, ECHS05 said: Outdated junk Let's not lose sight of the forest for the tree, regardless of outlets used, bennet has considerably more attention and offers than Sturges. And Sturges is the starter and has been all season. Bennett has picked up 3 additional offers since the season has started, Sturges...none. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scout has the backup as a four the starter as a zero. The backup has 20+ offers the starter has one. Don't call him Peanut, it's Pumpkin! Have a good day brother.
