*** 2019 Recruiting ***

GT highlights show a guy who is not much flash, North-South, and enjoys contact. Also appears to have good balance. 

Not a guy I would want to be seeing in the 4th quarter if I was an opposing defense. 

Edit: high school film shows some LB, but assuming he is being taken as RB. After watching some more, this guy will make you think twice after trying to tackle him the first time.

JUCO guys are always lower-rated.  I've never really figured out why.  Best guess I've been able to come up with is they are (usually) only around for two years instead of three or four.  I suppose the (assumed) academic risk might play a part in it as well.

But....you are usually taking about a kid that hasn’t proven he can play at this level. 

This is kid has done that as a freshman. 

Rating systems are supposed to indicate how ready the kid is to play at this level.  If he isn’t an example of a 4 Star.....what is?

He also proved he could get kicked off the team as a sophomore.

I'm sure there is some of that.

But, I tend to believe it's just laziness at the recruiting sites.  Proof of that is how many times does a JUCO player go completely unranked by these sites?  I think 247 is the only one that has ranked this kid so far.

Mills was a .8543 3 star player out of HS.  He had one pretty good year as a true freshman.  Then he only played 2 games as a JUCO sophomore.

He is now rated .8700

So while not a tremendous jump, he still went up in rankings.

I do think they just don't spend as much time rating JUCOs.
