I've noticed quite a bit of back and forth between fans when it comes to the "should I be excited about this commit?" regarding kids with lack of impressive offer sheets but purportedly good testing/track numbers. I suspect this might be a relatively new problem now that KSO has more access to camp and camp results. I'm guessing no one was breaking down 5-10-5 results from a K-State camp on this board a year ago.
It's pretty obvious to me that most of us (certainly count myself in this group) lack context to know what good results are to allow for comparison. I'm talking the more obscure stuff like shuttle, three cone, 5-10-5. I've got nothing to compare to. It also seems any solution should be position specific (how fast is Demarquese Hayes for a LB?). I've heard Swanson has some great athleticism for a tight end but lack context, so see the lack of P5 interest and am tempted to dismiss his upside.
@Matt Hall @The Manhatter we need your help. I don't have a solution, just a problem. Is there a way to provide a benchmark to contextualise a kids athleticism that gives better perspective.
The following came up in the Malachi Mitchell thread to demonstrate the gap between the novice and the knowledgeable
