    Kids create plans for their future which involve getting into an ideal or "dream" school

    For example, a kid wanting to become a lawyer may consider Harvard's law school their dream school

    What do you mean? A little context would help.

    Do you mean yet another kid who has no academic business being in college saying they're signing with their dream school? That's always been a joke. Don't blame 2022.

    There are no longer “dream schools” just selector schools.
    For example, Kalen has probably spent 2-2 1/2 years on SD Wonderboy, but tOSU came to one game and flew him out to lose to UM and he still went to tOSU, why? they can select their athletes.
    Bama, tOSU, Georgia, all selector schools, maybe you can throw in LSU in years past but not with Kelly at the helm.
    What’s nice about the Presley flip is that it proves that UO isn’t a selector school, they can get the NIL kids but they aren’t beating out the top tier teams for talent, at least not often.

    So "selector school" means you can go toe to toe with one of those other schools and expect to win no matter what?

    Is it really selector school or selector recruiter?

    If Oregon State spends 3 years with an in-state recruit and the day before signing day Nick Saban offers him; he’s going to Alabama. That’s a selector school.

    Alabama has a new set of assistants every year and they still pull top 3 classes; I think you’re overestimating the “top tier” recruiters. For example, hartline at tOSU, is he really a good recruiter? He’s had a couple of dudes, but they would’ve ended up at tOSU regardless of whether or not he was there because Day’s offense is highly conducive to WRs getting drafted.

    I know it’s always been a joke. But people still fall for it and I can’t believe it’s still a thing in the recruiting world

    It’s mostly about brands, and most recruits are happy to be on a cool campus with tons of chicks and parties. That’s a dream School for most Kids I guess. The football players will get laid more though. Not the OL, but still.
