But my definition of a bust is not living up to expectations set out for them, so long as those expectations are reasonable. So I will ask you this? Did 97 live up to the expectations you would have for the highest rated recruit in the state in his class?

Answer the question asked please
Dec 6, 2012, 3:49 PM
|
|
Each prospect has certain expectations placed on them by the fans when they sign. Whether or not these expectations are met is what determines a bust/stud in the eyes of the fans. Am I right or wrong when saying that you expect more out of a 5* than a 4*, 4* than a 3* and so on?

the only two individual goals. Winning is a team goal. Which is good to have but not an individual goal. So as long as somebody gets into school, graduates, and is part of a winning team, regardless of if they are a weak link in that team or not, they aren't a bust?

That might be a reasonable expectation for a 3*
Dec 6, 2012, 4:32 PM
|
|
But 4* and 5*'s are held to a higher standard. I expected more out of Goodman. Not so much sack numbers but general production. Getting pressure on the QB, not getting gashed on the ground, TFL's, tackles, etc.
