That's what typically happens when you just look at recruiting rankings and not at the talent, tools, skills, and overall abilities of the players.
You would be amazed how many people don't actually WATCH the game. I would venture to say that 80%-90% of people on the stadium on a given day, follow the game, but don't actually watch or have any clue about what is actually going on out there. Then their opinions are formed by what the media tells them.
Watch the game

Damn. I'd be surprised if there's 2K in my home county.

Love that we are getting ahead of the game on these guys...
The good news is I'm pretty sure Dan and Les know what this guy can do. And it sounds like he is going to be the leader of the 2016 class.

And that's why I have never understood why we don't hit the ATL hard. I've known the current LB coach at GT all my life. He told me that when he was at MTSU he used Cobb as his go to for talent because it was so deep. He knew he could always count on getting a half dozen quality players that could probably be SEC level, but were overlooked because of the higher talent sucked in the SEC scouts. The numbers almost guarantee that you will get quality players.

Yup. Andy is a great coach who had the misfortune of being the one to move MTSU from 1-AA to 1-A, so the record wasn't great. He was rumored for the State job when we hired Croom.
Smootness, you and I may know some of the same people.
