I heard DB on 1620 bring this up recently and it’s a great point.
Recruiting and talent evaluation aren’t necessarily same thing. And both are needed to have a high achieving team.
I don’t think our recruiting is nearly as bad over the years as our talent evaluation has been once they get here. This deficiency goes well beyond Riley but it’s definitely plaguing Riley staff I believe.
In another words, If you’re unable to determine through practices and/or games days who your best players are. Basically who need to see the field, then you are not going to see player development happen as easily. Simply because you’re picking the wrong player to start games way too often or your grading scale on how you grade players is a bad one possibly.
This goes back to practice players vs gamers on Game day. They occasionally if not often can be different players who thrive in each. It’s up to coaches to understand and identify who those players and understand quickly who has to see field.
He mentioned Terrell Farley for sure and Troy Dumas I believe as some of the not so good practicers but once in field they couldn’t get off the field
Players like Bradley, Decker, Jaimes and Milk Carton suspects Boe Wilson. Raridon and several on defense come to mind. that if identified earlier maybe we would have seen better development by now.
Another example is that it took an injury to force Bo to play LaVonte David back in day or he may not have had nearly the impact he eventually had
