I think we are on the same page for the most part. In hindsight, it's easy to say DJ was a bad eval. I just hate to blame every highly ranked recruit that doesn't live up to expectations as a "bad eval." I don't think DJ was a bad eval at the time he signed with Clemson. There wasn't a lot of flaws in his game and he has all the physical tools to be great as a college qb. He had talent surrounding him and a great coaching staff. Maybe he was just a bad eval. In my honest opinion, I believe DJ did not put in the work to be an elite or even good college qb. It's clear that Cam has put in that work.
When I think of a bad eval, I think of guys like Lorenzo Lingard, Jake Garcia, Jelani Hamilton, and most of the LB's recruited under Diaz. Strong in some areas, but lacking in others. Take Lingard for example, he was very strong in one area (speed), but he was lacking in other areas for a RB. Many posters pointed this out before he even played a down here. No, I was not one of them, but they were right.
Agree 100% that Cam was FSU's # 1 target. They definitely settled on DJ and I think we will see all this play out on Saturday's.
