[QUOTE="GoWVU, post: 132209228, member: 1457561"] But they pan out at a higher rate than lower-end players. Usually you only get rated that highly when the physical gifts are obvious and overwhelming. Then if players of that inherent talent don't pan out, it's most often because 1) They can't stay healthy or 2) They are immature, uncoachable knuckleheads who never developed the work ethic due to coasting on physical ability at lower levels. In the case of Daniels, there are not obvious and overwhelming physical tools which makes you wonder how so many people saw him as being in that class of player. However, the fact that two of those 5-star factory type schools moved on from him after injuries told me not to expect the world...but he still should've been better than this. It's a huge miss by multiple talent evaluators at places where they excel at that sort of thing. Are you familiar with the 20-80 scouting scale they use in baseball, where 50 is average? I certainly wasn't expecting a Major Harris 80 at the very top, but I thought Daniels would at least be an above average 55-60. Instead, he's been closer to a below average 40-45. [/QUOTE]
