He should have manned up and stayed at OSU. Who knows what kind of hero life he would have right now in Columbus with that WR corps

Easy for us to say. I'm sure he's been treated quite well in Austin. But this happens with fans whenever there's a new 5star QB who the media raves about. I'm sure if Sayin starts next year, his 1st interception, fans will be calling for TSC. Just like fans wanted Barrett benched for Haskins, heck people wanted McCord to play over CJ Stroud at one point

This guy at one time was a "can't miss, future top 10 NFL pick". That's why fans shouldn't get too emotional over recruiting. Ewers is one of the highest rated recruits of all time, and now has to transfer to see the field next year, and is now rated as a Day 3 pick in the 100s.

Eh. It's just anecdotal to be fair.
J Smith was the consensus #1 recruit last year and we would have all been, rightly, sick if we didn't get him. I look at it like this, approach vs result.
The results of 3 stars turning into first round draft picks or 5 stars busting out can't be predicted and can only be influenced by coaching to a degree. I look at approach. Did the staff want the kid? Did they sink resources into recruiting him? If so then it's a zero sum game. You won or you lost. You got your target or you lost out on your target. How they do overall on their approach should be the litmus test imo.
An OL coach, let's say, keeps missing on his high profile targets but a couple of projects actually develop then he gets marks for development but if you are building the machine you should have the intellectual honesty to know he's a poor recruiter and that will eventually bite.

If I was an NFL team, I’d be happy to take Ewers as a day-2 choice. He needs some work, but he’s got an arm and seems to go through progressions well.

The actual game play barely means shit to these scouts anymore. Let's say 50%. The other half is combine and workouts because everyone thinks they can shine shit. Few actually deserve a paycheck.
If a healthy Ewers does what he can at Pro Day, tests and interviews well, he only has to not implode in these playoffs to stay a Top 5 QB which is probably mid to late first round with the garbage in the league right now maybe even higher. Mel Kiper had always been a stupid piece of shit parroting his "contacts" because he never played the game. Fuck him

Wrong glass, Sir.
They're running Ewers off for a totally unproven Manning who may very well completely implode next year. Excellent, everything is proceeding as I have foreseen it.

Yeah, fans believe Manning will walk on water and deliver them a title next year. I'm baffled at how many people have no clue how his HS career went. I've never seen a recruit rated so high who never won a state title, and I believe never made it out of the 1st round in one of the lowest divisions in Louisiana. I almost feel bad for the kid, but I know he's going to make a ton of coin off NIL and/or endorsements solely off of his last name
