Question about ratings

[BUS]

Do most BIG MEN get rated? With the coverage going to the WR's, QB's and skill position players, do most BIG MEN get rated or looked at as closely.

I other words, do more good BIG MEN get recruited being un-rated than do Good Skill players get recruited being un-rated?

BUS, to help answer your question, I'm going to take a quote out of another thread from Baylor Coach Guy Morris:

"It's probably more beneficial to a marginal kid who gets a chance to show how he stacks up against a proven college recruit," Tusa said. "Somebody you're not quite sure about, like maybe a lineman. But by and large, your skill people come out of the dark early."

It's a lot easier to see a Receiver, Quarterback, or Running Back's numbers. Lineman dont really have numbers, unless you consider efficiency ratings or pancake blocks, which in some instances aren't even kept. That's why you see so many linemen recruited just because of their size, and why a guy like Mitch Enright who is obviously so polished might not be a top recruit, because he might be just 6'1"

Given that thinking, a lineman has a better chance of being good even without being the NEWS coverage stud?

in my opinion, absolutely...im not a recruiting expert, but it's naturally harder to rate a linemen. So it's naturally easier to hit on one thats not ranked higher by rivals or whoever rates them
