Money down doesn't bother me, but I can see how it might get old. What I don't like is fake money with a coach's face planted on it (any coach) being passed around. Remove the face, then yeah, ok. For the record, I haven't seen the alleged fake bills, but that's how the announcers described them.

Great post, IBB. I liked it 5 times.

It works! Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the sentiment. Fortunately, it didn't really cost me anything except heartburn. She had some incredible offers.

My 18yo daughter just did.

Academically gifted kids (especially those in high demand, with competing offers) change their choice of college all the time. Many times at the last minute. We shouldn't expect more from athletes. However, once a kid accepts/commits to an offer, one would reasonably expect him to fulfill that...

A lack of depth can kill you in the 4th quarter.

Smith. Corner unit. Three of us. Roommates were a 6'7" kid from NJ, and a skinny kid from Vietnam who spoke little (if any) English. I'm originally from rural Alabama and it was a cultural awakening. One of the best things that could have happened. Then Brown. Overlooking Techwood Dr and North...

Wesley Wells with the freshman 15, haha

You're right. It's not the DL that's valued by the NFL, it's the rushing DE. That's why he's the second highest valued position by average salary.

Given enough time, a qb can pick any defense apart. No cb can effectively cover a receiver for very long. An effective rush can save an average cb. The NFL (as you stated, 31/32 GMs) agree, so that's where they spend their $. Pass rushers > db...

Academic all-ACC should be Dean's list (or higher). Believe Tech is still 3.0. It's at least 3.5 at other schools.

Is 50yo considered an old fart? Need to know whether to sit or stand, and what music I should be listening to. :happy:

Most offers are made pending the October and December ACT results. Also, they want to know your curriculum and GPA after finishing your Sr year first semester of high school. My son lost an academic scholarship because he made a c during his first semester of his senior year. So yes, all offers...

Stem degrees scare kids. That's why there's a nationwide effort to recruit and develop them. No matter what your degree is in, I consider a Tech degree to be STEM-centric. My daughter (currently a hs senior) scored a 35 in math on the ACT. She prefers to pursue something other than a math-heavy...

Don't know if it's already been mentioned, but seems he would be a candidate for the UT Chattanooga head coach opening. Edit: Oops. Just saw it was filled yesterday with a former alumnus currently on the Ga State staff.

Great. Informative post. Good stuff. Thanks for the data. One observation: ND, Stanford, BC, Duke....all private schools with much more leeway on how they report. Also, when my son was being recruited by Duke (academics), we were told that he was guaranteed to get out in 4 with A's and B's...

You're the one throwing numbers around, cowboy. You've asserted that 66% of the four and five stars are qualified to get in. I challenge that assertion. Neither of us will know the correct answer because a high school kid's grades aren't something we're privy to. However, if I had to take a...

how can you say we are signing 0% of those qualified when you don't know how many are actually qualified?
