Thank you for clarifying. Whether they organize or not, somehow enforceable rules need to be put in place. But even when the NCAA was stronger, it was very easy to break the rules and cheat.
You means guys like
Correct.
Who knows how many of those offers were "commitable". More "modern" recruiting BS (to me).
No, I don't. The post I was responding to was referring to liking the recruiting of under-recruited guys. The players you just listed don't fit that bill.
Like the "deliver" part of that. This whole NIL thing will fizzle to parody at some point.
I think most of it is legit. I mean Taylor had Michigan offer late in the game so if he’s good enough for there wouldn’t he be good enough for those other schools?
are they supposed to be staying local and playing for a middle of the road or worse team? Just curious as to what you think meets criteria. #69 staying home to play QB for KSU. #84 home at Nebraska. #90 at Ole Miss. 2 to Miami is a FL native, 3 a CA native to USC, 9 staying home in TX. I get what you're saying in that we have a paucity of high ranked recruits in the upper midwest, so it's rough when they leave the state to go elsewhere. But so do the majority of recruits going all over the country every year. CFB has become more national brands than it used to be (there's Oregon, Kansas, UNC, Duke gear all over every Scheels, for example) and so I think the era of regionality is long since dead.
The top teams are as good or better. The depth isn’t as large. The 6th best team in Iowa and 6th best team in MN is probably pretty comparable in most years IMO
Yeah, no kidding! The 52-10 is not bad for a high school shot. Though 60+ to me is impressive.
It is no different than when the top-ranked Minnesota high school football player chooses to go elsewhere. Where it hurts is when they signed with a Big Ten rival school.
He could have done that three months ago. It was pure BS to pull out of your home state just a few days before signing day.
247's own rankings had the top MN player as:
I am sure when he reads your post that he reneges on the AL signing and beg Ferentz to take him back.
I am only going by the composite numbers.
I know, and I don't agree that that is a superior method.
Those ratings are potential ratings coming out of H.S. That is all I take it as. We don't know how a recruit will perform until he butts heads with the competition where everyone is just as strong and fast.
I don't give two shits who reads my posts, sir!
really? I thought he was hired to improve recruiting, not continue the efforts of the previous regime. we're not getting a whole lot of either diamond in the rough or significant upgrades in recruiting. We'll be within one or two slots of where we were under Kill/Claeys, firmly in the bottom half of Big Ten and Big Ten west team talent rankings.
