That's what I want to know lol. The guy is a DT all the way.If he's anywhere near the 6-4 270 he's listed at,why is anyone even bringing up DE.He's a DT here.

"We" the fans, or "we" the program? Right or wrong, I think the coaches have made it clear they trust their evaluations over the rankings. This one is all about Simpson's evaluation.
We are really banking on kids skyrocketing up the rankings by seasons end.
All of that is fine...but I (as a fan) am over the "smartest guy in the room" routine. How about you just go get the best players? We haven't so far.
I don't mind any of our current takes...Munoz, Holley, or this kid...****, I've said before I liked Daxon and thought he was a take, too.
The problem is, I do mind taking an entire class of these three-star eye test evaluations. Ain't catching up with the standards of college football (Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State) with this kind of class, regardless of what I think of them individually. I can clearly see the upside here, but you don't take all three, unless you have to...and its looking like we have to, to fill the class...which, isn't great for us.

I hope he develops but from the film ive seen he just doesnt jumpout. Also takes alot of snaps from the DE position.
Absolutely! **** evals at DT...get the highly rated kids.All of that is fine...but I (as a fan) am over the "smartest guy in the room" routine. How about you just go get the best players? We haven't so far.

Kid looks solidly built. No bad weight. Once big Gus lays his hands on him, I believe strength will be a positive if it isn't now.I disagree i think his quickness definitely shows, now what i am worried about is that he lacks brute strength.
But how are you deciding who the best players are? Are you deciding by stars?
Did you know: Only 41.4% (111 of 268) of the All-Conference players from 2017 for Power-5 schools were ESPN300 kids?
SEC: 62 of 101 players (61.4%) This includes 2016 All-Conference
ACC: 17 of 49 players (34.7%)
Pac-12: 13 of 38 players (34.2%)
Big-10: 12 of 45 players (26.7%)
Big-12: 5 of 27 players (18.5%)
If recruiting rankings can't even get 50% of the All-Conference kids, is that how we are evaluating? There were more 3-star kids from ESPN that were All-Conference than players from their 300.
Ha ha. Brooklyn bagels are the best!! Maybe he’ll bring some for you and you’ll have a change of heart.
I'd pull his offer the first time he says anything is better back in "the" city.

2011 Top Defensive Tackle Recruits
2012 Top Defensive Tackle Recruits
2013 Top Defensive Tackle Recruits
2014 Top Defensive Tackle Recruits
2015 Top Defensive Tackle Recruits
2016 Top Defensive Tackle Recruits
2017 Top Defensive Tackle Recruits
These list are either extremely top heavy up top (top 3-4) or they're scattered all over the place. You need to eval DT's just like you eval interior O-line. It's not like OT or DE when the guy is going to pop off the screen.

I love me some research, statistics and measurable comparisons. could you throw the height and weight next to the guys you compare at the time of the statistic in the future?I'm building a database of athletic testing numbers for an article I'm writing and Blissett tests very well at his position. He tested as an 84th percentile athlete at the position and my database is heavily tilted to the ESPN300 etc. so that I'm getting all of the best players especially.
For Miami DT's that have tested, he finished in second place behind Gerald Willis (88th percentile).
Here are the players that weight 250+ pounds who ran a faster short shuttle than Blissett and his 4.40 short shuttle (my database started in 2014 when numbers became more available):
Derek Barnett- 1st round pick, All-American, and broke Reggie White's school sack record at Tennessee.
Solomon Thomas- 1st round pick and All-American at Stanford.
Joshua Paschal- Class of '17 player already starting for Kentucky and produced sacks against Tenn and Vanderbilt as a freshman.
James Lynch- ESPN freshman All-American last year for Baylor.
Gerald Willis- Miami's best DL and off to a crazy good start.
Rashan Gary- All-American at Michigan will be a very high pick this year.
Neville Gallimore- #11 on college football's "freaks list" at Oklahoma and looks to be a high pick.
That's it. That's the list.
He has great measurables and good hands, but if you watched his camp videos u can tell his weakness is the lack of brute strength. His success at the college level will depend on how strong he gets.Kid looks solidly built. No bad weight. Once big Gus lays his hands on him, I believe strength will be a positive if it isn't now.
Give me dudes with measurables. Guys that are quick and can bend. Add on some "beastly attitude", and you got yourself a player. Two things you can't teach are speed and attitude. Everything else can be learned.
