you Will come to find out in D1 college football at many positions size will eliminate an individual from consideration no matter how good. And yes Long is above kids with D1 offers because I believe him to be a better HS player. It seems at this point you may be obsessing a little. Do you know these people personally? 5th year doing this list and so have never seen anyone so concerned about a players ranking. I have seen plenty of dads mad their boy wasn’t ranked but this is new.

I believe his dad used his pay-for-vote (he started a website to promote his son and bought an AP membership to promote his son) to pump up (to no college avail) his undersized son.

He is a weightroom beast. And like I said, good kid. Can't find anywhere ripping on the kid himself.

But I can post the COACHES' All-State team. He didn't make honorable mention (but Collins from Breathitt did). Meaning there were like 20+ other linemen over him.

Several kids on your list have tons more offers.

So unless you are going on film ONLY (and you're weighting film over darn near everything else you listed: High School coaches, college coaches, college recruiters), I don't see how he vaults into the top 10.

I could definitely understand 20s. Maybe even teens.

Not top 10.

I'd say the same thing in basketball (somewhat about size) if a 5-8 guard's best offer was Centre, if someone put him over bigger guys from bigger schools with better offers.

Or if a softball (not really about size in that sport) player's best offer was Midway.

I don't disagree with most of your lists (either one, DL or OL).

But I'm NOT the only one questioning Long's ranking on here. Two others have as well. I'm just the most vocal one.
