The Lions' Pride

It's gonna hurt to miss on this kid.

Crossing my fingers that we can get him back on campus this weekend.

Not a shot at Dorian Johnson, but how does he make 2 jumps in the rankings w/o playing a game? I like the kid's film, and I can see his potential, but if he's a 5* how is AB a 4? He has the best film at TE I can remember in the last 5 years.

Then the top 10 players should all be QBs

Also not true. Its the same reason OGs aren't as likely to be 4 stars at OTs. It has been addressed here before, and even mentioned by Sean. Its why ESPN hasn't had a 5 star TE in years, and Rivals is also reluctant. Positional value matters.

Eh. I get that QB's and OT's will always be sought after on every level, that said I have seen plenty of kids that look as good as Johnson on a yearly basis. I have not seen a TE as talented as AB in as long as I can remember. He is the epitome of what a 5 * prospect should be. You watch 3 plays and say WOW.

Wow, nice jump.

For those who were wondering why he went from an 89 (3*) to a 5*...I asked JC what they based his rating on before and he said they only had a few clips. Nothing nearly as extensive as his film.
