Anybody know about what time this announcement will be made ?
I think we are actually saying the same thing with regard to the role of the recruit in all this. My issue is on the other side. At some point there has to be a limit. At some point the adults in this (ESPN, BR, etc) have to start acting like adults and re-evaluate their role in enabling all this.

# | Is Nick Saban, or Alabama's Recruiting Staff, the worst recruiting staff this year? The kid was probably wondering the same thing about that statement. Saban and his mind games.
I agree, but I wasn't really trying to compare the two. I just think having it public like that can't really help ones cause to potentially get him back
start winning more football games and the lambos, I mean recruits will come!
myself, I am not critical about it at all as long no school paid for the rental/car and didn't break any NCAA violations. a big IF of course. We just have to assume all is fair unless something comes of it.
It may be a little ridiculous but sooner or later, people have to accept change with this process. I am all for what he and others are doing. Have fun with it, but have fun doing it the right way. They aren't the ones putting the cameras in front of them. ESPN thrives off this because football (college or pro) reigns supreme is the US. They are teenagers and just living in the moment. If some recruit wants to jump out of a plane and land on the college logo where he is committing to in front of ESPN cameras, then so be it, if he picks VT, then hell yea.
That is so sad. This thread is making sad for the future.
I'm waiting for a top recruit picking between two schools to be asked to place a mascot head on Corso while GameDay is at the game.
Any top recruits picking between Michigan and Ohio State this year?
PS it's only going to get worse. BR won't get any letter from the NCAA to calm it down a bit. Kids will now sell out to the highest bidder or swag.
NCAA Football is going down a bad path.
I see a large difference than calling a recruit a name versus crossing out a line of text.
Yeah, I think lining through the text is pretty mild.
IMO, his actions completely contradicted the statement he made specifically about himself. Regardless of your age or situation, you can't be surprised when people are put off by that.
correct
MADNESS. GET IT!
I usually pull out this gif when the Rangers win a playoff series, because the same thing happens in my home.
Plus 1 for that meme. That is how I feel walking into First Down on game day.
I am not sure. I didn't see TCU play last year. It seemed like the offense was more traditional in terms of how the QB runs the read option when they upset Baylor in 2014, but that is a very offhand reference and comes from the hip with two years worth of rust on it.
I heard about that. Fishing for cobia gets worse in South Carolina southward each year, and gets better and better in the Bay and northward.
FSU is trying to get the Miami swag going on but they are Tallahassee, not Miami
but really? kid shoulda had some Miami girls hangin on, drove it fast, music engine blaring
he was just having a little fun... wish he had done it with a VT logo... but mebbe next guy
seems like JF is getting some kids who will create match up problems in space... no doubt that will create holes up front... we'll get our stable/share of RBs again....
I actually think a good portion of people on here would be critical about it. Happy, but critical. IMO it shows how ridiculous recruiting has gotten. It's not enough that grown men and women obsess over what a 16/17/18 year old kid is going to do, but now we've taken it to an absolute absurd level. I don't really even blame Laborn. If I was in his shoes and was approached about doing it I would've said hell yea. Where are all the adults in all this? Where are the adults at BR saying, maybe this is a bad idea?
Yea I hear what you are saying. I would only say they are only doing it because they know it attracts viewers and increased ratings because as the years have past and social media has been a huge growing competent of recruiting/recruits, fan are more in tuned to this kind of stuff, maybe not all but there is always an increase in it. At the end of the day, those increase ratings and viewersESPN, BR, etc. is all they are worried about, and thats why I said maybe we should start embracing it because imo, I don't see it changing at all.
