TE Gee Scott Jr. (Official Thread)

I think I've said this before but I'm not one to really argue about whether a kid who is ranked 100th is really that much better than a kid ranked 150th. A kid at #40 in the rankings probably has similar potential as a kid at #20 and yet people will argue over which one gets the fifth star. Tom me it's even more meaningless when talking about overall rankings and arguing about a safety versus a quarterback.

Having said that, when looking at positional rankings across the networks, I still maintain that Scott is criminally underrated.

ESPN (the laughing stock of recruiting) has him as the #32 WR in the country.
Rivals has him as the #22 WR in the country.
247 has him as the #10 WR in the country.

You might be able to argue there are nine WRs in the country with more talent and potential than Scott and by that point we are probably splitting hairs. But to say there are 21 or 31 WRs in the country better than this kid is absolutely laughable. I'm guessing very few of these scouts have seen him play a game in person but by now some of them have seen him in a camp setting and he has thoroughly dominated every camp he has been at. And his measurables are pretty much NFL-ready right now.

The 247 Composite is becoming more and more obsolete given that they weight the recruiting services equally (meaning ESPN, who sucks, gets as much weight as Rivals, who is usually the best, although not in this case). They say they pull from all major recruiting services but how many are there out there in addition to ESPN, Rivals and 247? I don't know of any since 247 gobbled up Scout. There must be because the average of 32, 22 and 10 rounded down is 18 but the 247 Composite lists Scott at 14.

SKULL SESSION: MIKE NUGENT REFLECTS ON CAREER, CHASE WINOVICH TO TALK LESS TRASH, AND GEE SCOTT JR. RECRUITING MORE COMMITS

TEENS 'KROOTIN TEENS.
In 2019, your best recruiters ain't the 40-year-old men inveigling teens into doing football for your team, they're the teens themselves.

And Ohio State's current commits – namely, Gee Scott Jr. – are doing a stellar job evangelizing the Buckeyes to other top targets, and it's already paying off.

From Brandon Huffman of 247 Sports:

"I'm definitely taking credit for Lejond coming back," said Scott. "I think he made a quick decision with Urban, but he’s back now and and he did a good job with Julian coming in. So the more we can do that, the more we build an environment."

Fleming's commitment last week was also one that Scott was thrilled to see, the fellow elite receiver picking Ohio State over home state Penn State.

"Julian, that's my guy," said Fleming. "He's a really cool dude and very humble and a great receiver. It's going to be fun to play with him."

Scott said he stays in near-daily communication with Jack Miller, the four-star quarterback from Arizona who is also an Ohio State commit.

"Jack and I were talking on Instagram Live on Saturday and we talk often," said Scott. "That's another big name we’re excited to bring to Ohio State."

My general stance on group messages of more than three people is that they should be universally banned and anyone that starts one thrown in a Siberian prison with their thumbs cut off, but the ones these teens start are exceptions because they make my favorite football team better.
