Recruiting presser tidbit

Then there are the promo videos the recruits put together with the help of parents and I assume their HS coaches to mail out to everybody: coaches, recruiting experts, fan sites, etc. Must be some money made somewhere in all this. I don't suppose there might be some parents willing to purchase their kid a bump with another star or two........ nah, probably not.RoadDawg55 said:This is where politics come into play. Scout does fine with the 5 star guys (hard to miss), but the middle/low 3 star guys get rated because they go to camps, play ball with interviews, always answer texts/calls, etc. A kid I went to high school with was a three star TE and he didn't even start for our team and probably caught 5 balls all season. He was 6'4" 225 and ran a 4.7 at a camp, which was solely the reason he was a 3 star.
There are some guys who are better athletes that are two stars and unranked, but they don't want to drop the three star kids they have gotten to know even lower. Guys who get missed in earlier evaluations because they didn't go to all the camps get royally fucked by the ranking system. No matter how well they do in games, they aren't rising higher than three stars because the guys that know the other kids, don't want to drop them too far.

Just give them to Ivan for a couple of years and watch what happens. They'll go around punching Seahawk fans and get arrested.DerekJohnson said:

A great coach and highly rated recruits = abundance. -
When it comes to punching Seahawk fans,....... beer me while I woof.

Great apples to oranges comparison as alwayssarktastic said:Peterman just got his star ass kicked by Sark... seriously, what do you fucking Dogs expect Peterman to say?
You can find the comparison between their work here on this board -
Fact is, the battle was waged and Sark won... if we aren't going to keep score, why count stars and award recruiting trophies?

Guys, according to ECK-Tard we had at least 39 5* recruits that were all silent verbals that wanted Sark so bad. I mean shit, Joe Mixon loved Sark, wanted to be a part so bad that when Sark wenT to USC Mixon said that is great and went to OU. Round of applause for our TBS staff that literally has no fucking clue (give me my $10.95 for that). Sochi's 4 ring olympics are better run than TBS.

USC has recruited higher rated players than the UW for 50 years, and always will. What a riduculous comparison.sarktastic said:Fact is, the battle was waged and Sark won... if we aren't going to keep score, why count stars and award recruiting trophies?
The UW did better than USC on the field sometimes, by developing players better. But USC has always had better raw material in terms of recruiting players. It has nothing to do with Sark. Kiffin also outrecruited Sark when it was USC versus UW. The comparison between schools is almost meaningless.
Sark is a good recruiter though. That is also not the issue. The problem is that he does not develop players well. We will see the difference in 2-4 years. Petersen's lower ranked recruits will be beating Sark's top 10 recruiting class in 2-4 years.

Fact is Sark didn't recruit that well at all to UW. Petersen showed in year one, with two months to move in, assemble a staff, and establish new relationships, that he could outrecruit Sark with his hands tied behind his back. It's not what one guy does at SC versus the other at UW that matters. Compare what they both did at UW and Petersen has already kicked the shit out of him in the apples to apples comparison.sarktastic said:Fact is, the battle was waged and Sark won... if we aren't going to keep score, why count stars and award recruiting trophies?
