How do you evaluate a how a 17-18 year old high school guy is going to be in a couple of years down the road. His size, attitude, playing development, no way. As you say a crap shoot.Yep and frankly, the last position on the field that I'd break the bank for would be at QB. Such a crapshoot with those guys. The intangibles so important at that position and so hard to measure and evaluate. Just not worth the risk. Definitely get those guys from the portal.
I'm not sure it's even that big a deal anymore. In my mind, the vast majority won't see the field much, if at all, for a year or two. Got very little faith in this staff's evals and development anyway. Pure and simple...our coming season depends on the portal. That interests me far more than HS recruiting.Is there a day in college football that has changed more than National Signing Day? Itβs still a big deal, but man the dynamics are different.
And that's the one spot you can't afford to miss with. Way better odds grabbing a guy that's more mature, experienced and proven from the portal.How do you evaluate a how a 17-18 year old high school guy is going to be in a couple of years down the road.

I was for sure we were going to see some trick plays with the way they talked abut out punter, there were even times everyone and turned and went up field and he could've ran 15+ yards but booted it awayHe probably runs a 4.4 but we wonβt do anything with it. Another frustration of mine is having a rugby punter with grass in front of him often but we never let him run one time.

Look in the recruiting forum and a lot of it will be there. There's not a dedicated page per say but people are updating our signees in the regular forumWhere? I donβt see any updated signee tracker in there on the first page. I see some old commitment day stuff. Usually itβs a thread on the main page
