Yes all this makes me feel a little bit better but I figured it would help us in the edge of recruiting. Nah, he's not a troll he's just weird. He says he's a fan of both Tech and the Hoos as well as LSU. He's also a big believer in rivals and thinks that cavs outrecruiting us will translate on the field.
But the pun!!!
It seems California does an amazing job keeping talent in state
California is big. It's really far to travel from anywhere in Cali to Oregon, Washington, or Arizona. So, they're definitely going to win the "in-state" battle. When you consider they're pretty much the same exact size of the entire east coast from PA to AL and all states in-between, it's not a valid comparison.
But I agree, In-state doesn't mean much. Skype, social media, and relatively cheap airfare will broaden the recruit landscape.
They are ranked higher than us by ESPN, but way lower by Rivals
Remember... FSU built themselves after the SEC, if you paid attention to what the tv blowhards were saying on ESPN during the title game
pretty much. FSU
We have quite the lead on them according to 247 which has quite a difference in the rankings of prospects at least of the ones committed to us.
0-12?
* Corrected
Don't we all already know the Harrison decision?

Yep... THIS was the class that all the in-state emphasis should have paid off on, and we whiffed on the true elite talents.
You're talking 4 5* elite players on the defensive side of the ball, and we whiffed on them all. We didn't even get any consideration from two of them, who fast tracked themselves to our biggest rival. Hand should have been ours, we had all the relationships, we had his favorite coach recruiting him, and we completely missed. We missed out on Nnadi as well, after being the favorite most of the way.
No, we don't need to lock down the state, but when true elite in-state classes come by that could potentially be program-changers, its just unfathomable how often we whiff on the whole lot.
Your friend is quite the troll. LOL - good times. No this is not true.
At least according to ESPN, they have. Disappointing, but it's never stopped us from beating them in the past.

Man, poor kid. You commit to your dream school and they don't even send in the LOI. Probably the worst feeling in the world.
Recruiting rankings only matter if they translate into on-field success. So far, UVA is far below us in that category.
Good stuff...timing might be a lil off tho.
Yes. Yes it matters.
Why don't I have any patience to just wait for tomorrowNeed information NOW!!! But this stinks
The disappointment in losing a lot of in-state players comes from one of the primary philosophies of this program under Beamer when it comes to recruiting: Hit your state the hardest, develop long term relationships with coaches that reap long term rewards. It's an investment strategy. The idea is that if you put in the work now, the classes that come once or twice a decade that are just *Stacked* with in-state talent will pay off in great returns due to the relationships you have cultivated over that time. That's the theory.
The trouble is that it never seems to work out that way. When the truly loaded classes come up all that happens is we get very few of the top guys.
Nope, just an idiot that typed late at night and put my trust in spell check and still got it wrong. I'll fix it so that you will be able to understand what I was writing. Not that it was really important
too late to send this guy an offer?

Seems FSU decided not to send him an LOI or answer their phone calls from him this morning...smh
ESPN is the absolute worst when it comes to recruiting.
