Question tim for the bored board

It's not sad, he's behind arguably the best pass rusher in the league and day 1 NFL pick plus Martin is playing at All-Pac level.

I'm not a Smalls fanboy, but I never really knock backups if the starters are ballin.

It's only bad when the guy ahead of you is trash and you're the hyped recruit on the sideline. From what I saw he's shown improvement and will probably be better for the experience next season when Martin moves on.

Shit on Danny Hammer for not doing anything in the LB unit before smalls.
 
For a 5-star recruit, Smalls sucks balls. You can explain away his shittiness all you want, but he should have been a 3-star based on what he’s shown to date.

If that.

5-star year three should be a starter.
 
I'd trade Odunze to Texas for their best defensive player of our choice

Defensive player? We have an outstanding 5 star DL right now
Here is his current stats

another overhyped, overrated PNW recruit…

Anyone who actually watched Smalls in HS saw an early bloomer playing well against little PNW coffee barista twinks

People who live in the PNW do not understand how vastly easy competition is compared to teams in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, or Georgia.

Even the little all white honkeyville districts have a big boy or two that could have matched up with Smalls in atleast size in high school.

Don’t twist, Smalls could still get it together and turn into a solid player, but dominating while being lazy in high school is a TUFF habit to break.

Should be a very good starter. Not JAG.

Doesn't his recruiting thread still hold the world record here for page length?

I would replace Oklahoma and Alabama and add Florida and Louisiana. I don't think either the state of Alabama or Oklahoma are the hotbeds of recruiting that the others are. Louisiana, in particular, doesn't just punch above its weight - it punches with the big boys - but you consider the size and population of the state and the number of players from there, it's mind bottling.

He was never good as an upper classmen in high school either. Many experts told me stats don’t matter and not to worry about it. He is just not good. Maybe as a senior he can contribute somehow.
 
On the point made about HS habits, I think that's right ... you can see what a kid is made of on either side of the competition line. I imagine Mark Bruener - yes, I'm gratuitously shilling a Bobcat - found it not very hard playing in AA (or A or whatever they were by then) football down in the Evergreen League or whatever version of the BHL existed by then. But he still played hard ... I can attest to this. Kid was a merciless animal in HS. So when he played in the East / West game with Bledsoe, Lake Dawson and a shit load of other good recruits from that class, he still stood out and you knew what you had.
