Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

IPM also bought a sack of crap from a coach

Palo-Mao's primary recruiter at SC, who was able to convince him that he would start from day one and that Jimmy Lake would never coach him because he was looking for another job, just took a job at LSU. At least he waited a week longer than Gayboarder's coach

    USC's recruiting pitch is solid.


    "Look at all the NFL players we produce"
    (Never mind the fact that it's because they are all 5 star players that go there)

    "You and your family can brag to everyone that you were recruited to USC for football"
    Hard to argue with that.

    11 claimed National Championships doesn't hurt either.

    Part of the solidness. But we're talking about the bs part of it.

    not USC's fault that recruits fall for their absolute horseshit

    Yes and no. College coaches are adults who are experienced and have been through the process a hundred times.

    (Most) High school kids have only been guided by their parents, and perhaps a coach and a teacher. People they trust. It is a cold hard introduction to life when these seemingly sincere college coaches promise them the stars and the moon, only to eventually turn out to be two-faced liars.

    Sure, recruits shouldn't fall for their bullshit, and people like marlon tui should keep their word and be able to see through the OBVIOUS garbage being thrown at them.

    But who is more to blame here?
    Just because a kid is good at football doesn't mean he has smart people around him. High school football coaches are dumb.
    I know some high school coaches who are quite intelligent and savvy.

    Yes, but the kid doesn't know his high school football coach is dumb.
