ESPN the Magazine investigates big time D1 Recruiting | College Recruiting Blog - Athletic Scholarships Blog | NCSA
Some interesting numbers in there overall but I bolded the most relevant part to our discussion here. Admittedly this was a small sample size; it would be interesting to see these numbers over extended period.
I think their justification in that small a sample was for their other numbers, like sketchy, sleazy recruiting practices. I'm sure the top recruits get more thrown at them than some of the underrated ones so thus the smaller sample. I still think parents play a huge role in almost every kid's decision and will play a role in Wright's decision.Yeah. That was a small sample size. That can kind of throw off the numbers. But I agree it would be interesting to see the real numbers.
Consider this...your child comes in an hour past his curfew. He gives you a "song & dance" about how something happened that was innocent but made it impossible for him to be home on time. Later, you get a phone call from the parent of one of his friends who informs you there were a bunch of kids, including your son, at a party drinking, etc. In other words, you catch your kid in a bald-face lie and what he was doing is far worse or potentially more dangerous than saying something that may be less than honest during the recruiting process.
The question is this...is your kid a bald-faced liar and has serious and perhaps unacceptable character flaw issues? Or is he a typical teenager...
Oh, one other question as an afterthought...what would you think if dozens of other folks then got on the internet to trash your kid?
People forget that AU campus is 15 minutes away from Gabe
Going to the NC celebration is no big deal, it was hardly an unofficial
It's 50/50. Depends on which side of the bed he wakes up. Both sides feel confident to land him.
Apparently Auburn sucks so hard it is trying to engulf the rest of the US.It's amazing how Columbus gets closer to Auburn on this board every week. By y'alls logic, I should be living in Columbus by mid-February.
Gabe should think about all those surprise visits from Mom once that empty nest syndrome hits her. Hope he puts a sock on the door.
