What's this?

Someone's ranking or status with VT does not change how I feel about them..

As a recruit/fit.

I can either provide commentary using my experience to discern the prospects I think are a good fit or I can simply pump up every prospect who commits to VT regardless of how I actually feel about them. I dont think anyone benefits from the latter.

I think the kid will take a lot of time and is a gamble. I have questions about the numbers and why the staff would accept a commitment from someone clearly a level below Clowney/Huff when both are very much in play.

Im not saying the kid stinks. Im saying there are better fish out there for VTs needs, and taking projects with the current makeup of the roster seems misguided.

Literally every can either choose to accept that evaluation or throw it away or take it with a grain of salt, it does not matter to me. But I was specifically asked about Wessler and I gave my honest opinion after seeing him for years.
