Risk and opportunity flags

Top three concerns and top two upside signals from the model.

Trevor Bates
Risks
  • No athletic testing
    No Combine drills or Pro Day numbers on file while most of the class has tested — the athletic part of the grade is unmeasured.
  • Consensus skeptic
    1 board place him at mean rank #531; model has him #142 — a 389-spot gap. When boards fade a player this hard, the model is usually the one missing something.
Opportunities
No standout upside flags.

Opportunities
  • Mid-major standout
    School SP+ 7.3 (SUN BELT). Strong program among non-Power-5 — the prospect dominated against decent competition.
