    You really need to learn the difference between a statement of opinion and a statement of fact.

    Opinion:  I really don't like the way recruiting services analyze lightly-recruited players.

    Fact: Recruiting services rate players based on offer lists and measurables.

    If I say, "UNT is in the SEC," is that just an opinion?  Can I just go ahead and start posting that without ever expecting anyone to call me on it?

    You are an idiot! That is a statement of fact!

    1.  The point you qualify with "to some degree" I don't disagree with at all.

    2.  It seems that you are the one trying to be a tough guy behind the computer screen.  I never suggested anything physical, you did.  But I assure you, I would say nothing different to your face.

    3.  You are presenting as fact something that is not fact.  You stated that 2-3 star recruits "get stars based on offers only."  Then in another post you acknowledge that recruiting services will look at their measurables such as 40 time.  These two statements are incompatible with each other.  Measurables are something in addition to offers.

    4.  We all are wrong at times and simply misstate things at other times.  The honest thing to do is to acknowledge when we realize it and move on.

    Not being a tough guy at all.

     

    You were the one who came out wanting me to recant my position. I won't!! I assumed that we agree in general on things such as 40 times and other measurable to get a baseline of a recruits talent.  Of course they do! There are obviously factors that start the process, but my point was that 2 stars very rarely get bumped to 3 stars by the end of their recruiting process. The subject that I was commenting on was that we don't need to chase X number of 3 star recruits.

     

    This is a blog that allows for opinion. I stated mine and stand behind it. To be called a liar is off base. You immediately acted like some attorney during a trail to dismiss my opinion. I never suggested a single thing personal or physical towards you, The shot was from you claiming I was being dishonest and you wanted some sort of apology on my part!I

    Obviously, the recruiting websites' analysis of lower-rated recruits is more shallow and superficial than that of the superstars of each class.  That goes without saying.  But your comment was plainly misinformation, and your refusal to correct it does not reflect well on your honesty.

    You are pretty brave questioning my integrity as an honest man behind your computer, but I will let it pass. Go back to my original post and you will  see that in parenthesis I stated "to some degree"! 

  4. That's simply not true.  What is it about 3-star recruit D-Aundrey Bradley's offer list that separates him from 2-star recruit Roderick Young's offer list?

    One is a WR and one is DT. Their offers are similar but neither had P5's. The WR has good size and not sure what his 40 time was but probably above average. DT is right at avg in height. Also depends on what time each blossomed as a player. Some kids get stars early and some late. The point I am making is college recruiters care more than how many stars a kid has. Just ask them! Most of them don't even believe the camps 40 times that are sponsored by UA, Nike. They want them at a camp of their own to watch and time them in person.

  5. Stars (to some degree) are the imagination of the media. Sure, there is some thought and analysis that goes in to some of it. Mainly the 4 and 5 star recruits. The 2 and 3 stars are separated by how many offers they have. They don't have time the analyze each so they get stars based on offers only. 

     

    We need to recruit players that can help us win and fit the scheme that we are going to run. The previous staff spent too much time worrying about offering kids because it looked good. Why waste time offering a kid that you are not going to get? Look at this years offers and tell me why we offered half of those guys? We had no chance of getting them!

     

     

  6. Noren is the FS. They did play him some at OLB in a 3-4 his Jr year. He started at corner that year. His coverage skills got pretty good and then they moved him to FS.  I am not sure anyone from our staff has seen his film. Has our defensive staff been hired and on board yet? 

    Bowling is the slot - He and Noren are really close. Their families are from Ga originally and they became good friends. Bowling tried to get Ark State to offer (Noren) but they were full at the position.

    Could we get Bowling to flip from Ark State by offering both? Then we get two local kids that can play and begin to change the perception of "not getting local kids"
