Kid is pretty highly rated to not get an offer from us with the need we have at LB??? Like the hear the issues here.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Uh no if he was that good other schools would be knocking. No D-1 offers this late in the game is sign.
NO MORE DIMONDS IN THE ROUGH!!!

lol at the 1st team all state it means nothing.
We are his only D-1 offer and he was 1st team all state so it's not like he was hidden.
So there are 128 schools in this country who decided not make an offer for some reason.

If a kid is talented enough somone will make sure he gets exposed and into camps. IE handlers.owl in training said
maybe he didn't have very much exposure earlier on to get a rate or to rack in offers. I'm not saying for him specifically but in some cases, the kid has the talent but may not have the funds to go to camps to get rated, evaluated and put on the scene. This can especially hurt them if they go to a smaller, not so popular high school program.Posted On: Jan 9th 2015, 11:53 AM #340619
As for the all state thing there is a LB on the 2nd team all state who is commited to ND dame and had tons of offers.
By ricks logic that means that guy that is 1st team is better.

I can tell you from first had experiece that doesn't always happen. I can also tell you that there are coaches who, can for what ever reason, black ball a kid too. I've been around college athletes on scholarships in different sports for a couple of decades. It can and does get dirty. And, yes…some talent kids do slip through the cracks because they do not have the resources or the support.
