Yes, coaches that know how to find kids or are working hard enough to find the GEMS can really take advantage of the laziness of the other schools. But they will have to do some real "Digging".
Do you see any recruits like this from Petersen's two classes?
For example, Pettis and Dissly had 0 BCS offers when they signed with UW, but both have exceeded expectations this year and look to have bright futures with the program.
Ty and Hunter are much better recruits then Pettis and Dissly
In the recruiting game 2015 kids are "Old News". 2015 kids that are good and not on the radar at this point are looked upon like 5th year senior basketball players in the NCAA. They figure if there was no interest in them before, they must not be that good. That is NOT accurate, but that is the sentiment. And it is also a SELF-PRESERVING stance that the coaches are taking. Position coaches are NOT hired to "Coach" football. They are hired to RECRUIT. And the more "Big Name" players they get, the better. They are trying to land NAMES to bolster their portfolios. So finding the diamond in the rough is a MAJOR risk for them... ...And so goes the PROBLEM with recruiting.
So are you saying there is a market inefficiency created by this type of resume building competition? An ineffeciency that could be exploited by coaches that don't care about ratings and hype?
Market chinefficiency makes its first wretched appearance
