Re: Tell me about your players that surpassed your wildest hopes

I was around a 2* school so I was recruiting 2* players as my base with a small limit of 3*. Even with ATH / DE Dillon Butts being a gem he wasn't one of the best players I thought I signed in the class. It's also easier to not get attached to 2* during recruiting as usually they don't have other offers. With 84 strength and low 80's speed I figured he would be a good starter after a few years of development then to my surprise he was star development which is rare for 2*.

I kinda forget about him and I jumped up to recruiting other players and of course redshirted him that first year. When I checked my depth chart he had improved double digit overall's and more importantly had 99 strength already to pair with the speed. Going into year 2 would improve another 9 points after 8.5 sacks that first year. Now as a redshirt sophomore he is up to a 89 overall and will improve on that 8.5 sacks. If he does come back for another year that speed will be around 90 and overall mid 90's. I don't think he will make his senior year as all of the ratings he can improve on are key ones.
