Which nationally recognized recruiting analyst recently offered this reflection on recently offered DE Sterk out of Lynden high school?
"I've spent 2 years now studying recruiting, reading books on evaluations, learning from the guys on here, talking with HS coaches, etc. I feel very confident in evaluating DL (as opposed to OL). There isn't one thing about this kid that would make me assume he's going to be a stud.
I'm putting him in my "project" category, something I started with Petersen last year. I want to track these kids and in 5-7 years, see how well Pete did. I expect Petersen and Co to hit 1 every 4 times, based on early projections and his BSU results. By hit, I mean finding a "Serious contributor"/"Starter".
This kid is a flyer. He's nothing special. He does everything average and needs lots of work. I don't see what's wrong with saying that? Why do we have to build up these flyer guys? Is it to justify the offer for some reason? What's wrong with offering a kid with low tangibles, but possible high upside? I don't mind it, not sure why others have to justify it. "
Biggins? Huffman? one of the ESPN guys??? Maybe we could offer this guy a position as recruiting coordinator
