Head-to-Head Recruiting Records and Rankings: Look Quick Before Urban Flips Another
As I've said previously, I am skeptical of the ability of independent recruiting scouts. If they were that good at determining the athletic capacity of a 17-year old, some coaching staff or another would have hired them long ago. Therefore, I have a different way of evaluating classes. Instead...
The Best of Today's #ifiwasa5star Tweets
With National Signing Day just a few days away, friend of the blog Blake McCollum thought up an idea for normal people like you and I to tweet out what how they would announce their school if they were a 5 star recruit. The results were pretty impressive/hilarious. Here are the best of the...
Kendall Fuller
I want to start off by saying that I have no insider information or link to a webpage to give some legitimacy to this idea, but does anyone else think that with Locksley recruiting the DC area, creating a potential pipeline with Good Counsel, that we might have a shot with Kendall Fuller? If you...

Walk, Don't Run: Be Patient
Walk, Don't Run. We have heard it a thousand times when we were younger. "You gotta crawl before you walk, walk before you run." Some Tennessee fans were hoping to skip the whole walk portion. We knew it was going to be hard. We said as much. In November of 2008 MeytonPanning summed it up...
Recruiting Wins and Losses: How Desirable is Your School?
Even though this week is Hat Week (Go 'Cats! Get the Hat back!), I thought I would share a pet project of mine. I'm not a big fan of recruiting rankings. I prefer wins and losses. So to me, the best way to talk about recruiting is to look at recruiting records, i.e. given a recruit with offers...
MSU recruiting excelling under Mark Dantonio
[BH - Bumped. It's still Spartans Week, and this does have a lot to do with their resurgence] Yesterday on the Michigan-State-Potluck thread there was some discussion about recruiting stars vs looking at whom the recruits passed up offers on. I've taken a rather half-hearted stab at it... gathering...
New York Times Article: Pete Thamel uncovers UCF, Brandon Bender and an ex-con
Looks like our suspicions were right all along! Check out page three. Seems like Bender and UCF have some explaining to do. Hopefully D. Smith will get his release and be able to become a Card. I have an inside source that says Bender is telling people in Louisville that he is the new Director of...
