I don’t lock into assessments. Yes, there’s a baseline of expectations to begin, but I give credit where I think credit is due, and I hold myself accountable for mistakes. You yourself have thanked me for going back, commenting on, and posting about my pre-season predictions, my TTB Ratings, etc.
As for Stribling himself, I gave him a solid grade coming out of high school. Why would I undermine myself for no good reason? I call it like I see it, and that’s it. If you don’t like my assessment, that’s fine.
