    Yeah I'm the fag, but you "guys" don't have problems with sucking the cocks of teenagers who haven't played college football yet or with loving the Seahawks and Macklemore.

    TBS'ing to college football is akin to the Draft is to the NFL ... neither assures you of having a great team going forward ... but having a good recruiting class or draft is a leading indicator of potential success going forward.
    I'm nearing another blackout, but a Captain Obvious gif seems appropriate here.

    How would you know if you have a good class? Do you know how they will play in 4 years? Seems like a shitty indicator.

    And it means even less in college, because so much is dependent on coaching and the jump from high school to college ball is a bigger leap than college to NFL.

    In closing, none of it is indicative of anything. I think what you meant to say was that it doesn't matter but you think it matters because it gives you hope or something. The fact is that these highlight videos and offer sheets don't tell us a damn thing until you see it on the field against real competition. Being a "leading indicator" for "potential success" is your way of equivocating to us that it means jack fucking shit while trying to argue that it does.

    Extrapolating from the HS to College level is definitely more difficult than College to Professional level.

    That being said, there are some very strong HS football leagues across the nation and if you are seeing kids from those leagues, there's a strong reason to believe that those that perform well at that level will perform well going forward.

    With HS kids, what you are looking for is a combination of natural athletic ability as well as an ability to further develop.

    Regarding player development, some coaches are better than others. Pete has a very strong record of player development at both Boise and UW. It's one reason why I never worry too much about TCU recruiting because Patterson's track record at player development is one of the best in the nation. No question this matters as much as anything else. IMO though, the better the base level that the coaches start with, the better the upside IMO.

    I don't even know what to say to this post.

    So recruiting is important because it's a potential indicator of future implied success? But then you go on to argue that you don't worry about it if you have a good coach because player development is more important. Sounds like you are arguing against your own point.

    I can take a look at the head coach and tell you if they have a good class or not without knowing anything about who he recruited. A good recruiting class doesn't predict future success, a good coach wins games and that means he did his job recruiting and developing players.
