[QUOTE="smathis30, post: 511434, member: 1803"] Definitely on the screwed part. One of my friends from high school got drafted, albeit 2nd round, and his story is different. Another went UDFA in the past few years, and teams covered the expenses to and from plus lodging. Only lasted through training camp. In leaving out what happens if you do get drafted, endorsement deals, etc. resources are available and give further push. If recruiting ranks are 100% predictive of initiative, injuries, and skill through college as indicators of success, 100% of 5* and around 40% of 3* SHOULD be drafted if they are perfect. Add in potential for UDFA and it's higher. As soon in CFL even higher. Obviously they aren't. Most will know way out in advance their shots as the internet has changed the game, especially so in the last few years. Even so, you still have to sell potential. Recruiting is sales at the end of the day and you sell what the costumer wants, not what they neccesarily need. I'm not disagreeing that it's absolutely important. Stats show you're asboltuely right. But it's why you're typing about football behind a computer and teams have a recruiting staff. You're point of selling can't be even close to remotely being interpreted as "you're not good enough to make the next level" to everyone. It'll resonate with some people, who see the odds. You don't sell the lottery by telling people they will lose [/QUOTE]
