I don't get it. It seems like UCLA is purposefully avoiding the higher tier recruits. I wonder what their overall strategy is about.

2. UCLA’s different, although not unexpected, approach.
Biggins indicated that with two exceptions, Bruins coach Chip Kelly is not recruiting the best of the best in Southern California.
UCLA has secured a commitment from San Juan Capistrano’s Sean Rhyan, one of the top offensive line recruits in school history, and is pursuing Mater Dei athlete Bru McCoy.
Otherwise, the Bruins are “barely involved with the elite kids, and that seems to be by design,” Biggins explained.
“They’re going after the mid-level guys and figure they can coach ’em up and development them better … They are staying away from the kids who love themselves.”
Kelly didn’t chase the 4- and 5-stars during his tenure at Oregon, either. He wants deeply-committed, low-maintenance, coachable players who fit his system.
“They’re really low in the rankings because of his philosophy,” Biggins said. “It’s strange to me, but to him, it makes perfect sense. They are actively avoiding highly-rated guys.” -
Just what I'm hearing
The brainwashing is in full effect -
Interesting spin. What kind of accurate data on recruits is available in quantity that isn't already baked into rankings? Or is this where @NSA_Dawg has gone.Neighbor2972 said:Just what I'm hearing

Do you mean THE Colorado School of Mines? This the premiere university in the world for mines. Big get for chip kelly convincing to risk a guaranteed 6 figure salary for the smallest chance of making it pro.

Sheesh

Now that Chip isn't at Oregon anymore I like him. He doesn't give a fuck about star ratings at all and loves being the smartest guy in the room who signs mostly 2 and 3 star hidden gems and then wins with them. I have no idea if it's gonna work at UCLA but it's gonna be fun to watch. Hope he kicks USC's ass with a bunch of kids nobody recruited. I also hope he didn't just get a late bloomer steal from our own back yard.

Lol I love how Chip leveraged his Oregon success to get one last big pay day before he retires. Now he is just wiping cheeto dust on his boner sweatpants on his company time haha. No better school than this to happen to than UCLA.

Maybe something along these lines? That's my best guess https://theathletic.com/714810/2018/12/17/tracking-football-college-football-recruiting-early-signing-period/GrundleStiltzkin said:

I think it's more likely that he just hates recruiting. -
Let chip be chip.
If he kicks ass then good for him and it reaffirms his genius.
If he fails then lol. -
We knew that at Oregon too but at least he put in a respectable effort. Going into early signing period he has ONE player ranked in the top 400 nationally... at fucking UCLA!! That shit is just mind boggling. Can you imagine if Dennis was a UCLA fan?HuskyClaws said:

Given how shitty they looked at the beginning of the season, that second half of the season was some great fuckin coaching

Interesting he was able to land so much talent at Oregon without recruiting but can’t do squat at UCLA. 🤔
-
This. The whole narrative is "What will Chip be able to do with UCLA talent"? Kind of meaningless if he makes it so UCLA has no talent.PineapplePirate said:Interesting he was able to land so much talent at Oregon without recruiting but can’t do squat at UCLA. 🤔

Chip is 55 and has only been a head coach for 9 years. I highly doubt he is just cashing checks until he retires.CuntWaffle said:Lol I love how Chip leveraged his Oregon success to get one last big pay day before he retires.

More likely he is still overestimating his coaching and development abilities like he did in the NFL. -
so the WSU method?Meek said:

Holy shit you literally weren't kidding - his offers were actually Black Hills College and Colorado School of Mines. I thought it was like when people say we're playing "little sisters of the poor". Chip is either a genius or a complete idiot.bananasnblondes said:Just took a commitment from an Eastside Catholic kid rated as the #205 athlete.

Hi! Chip paid for a "recruiting service" at Oregon.

College football has evolved. You used to be able to win using the spread with inferior talent. You can’t anymore, as teams have evolved to stop it. Chip’s problem is, he still thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. Chip is using the IPhone 4, which was great years ago, now other coaches have the IPhone max. Chip is now behind, but is too stubborn to see that.StrongArmCobra said:Now that Chip isn't at Oregon anymore I like him.

His O is still fine. He recruits speed. He’s a threat.
