[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 516555, member: 844"] I talked to a well known and highly regarded coach in my area at length on this topic the other day. He has produced many kids who played at the next level and has won state championships.He believes that the colleges are suffering from the NFL syndrome - good football players are slipping through the cracks and not getting offers due to their lack of quantitative "measurables". He had a DT who was 6' 265# a few years ago who absolutely destroyed a 5 star OT who is now playing for a prominent football factory as their starting LT. He could not get any schools in the top division to offer even though he believes the kid was P5 material. Or, he will have a kid not get any offers at all until a Northwestern or GT offer, then the bigger schools will start looking at them. He thinks the recruiters are kind of lazy and look to closely at the star rankings of Rivals, etc. (yes, he did say that) rather than do their own work. He feels like the recruiting process is lazy and sloppy and that their is a world of opportunity to tap into the market of FB with great production but maybe lacking a bit in the "measurables". Of course, all kids who are good HS players have college potential but he is firm in his belief that there is an untapped market waiting for someone. This is his words, I'm just passing along what I heard. [/QUOTE]
