Quote:TMD won't respond to this because this is the true story.  Just because you pick a guy from a small school doesn't make it a "Gene pick".  Gene picked guys from small schools way too often and it failed.  Caldwell has stated he's a big school guy.

 

I've already admitted in the thread that its not an "identical" comparison to a pick like Alualu, but it is a lesser form of a similar concept. 

 

People cite "rankings" of the player which have the player currently around 5 or so, but has Mack been there this whole time? Nope. He pretty much rose late to get him there. Gabbert did the same thing. Ratings mean little unless they show a consistent placing at the top, such as Clowney. The small school concern is real with Mack. Doesn't mean he's destined to fail, but theres a risk. People instead are quick to latch on to Ware as the outlier and automatically assume Mack will be that.
