Recruiting Classes and Addazio's reputation

[eagletx]

I'm not sure the HJS made his point very clearly. Either that, or what he is saying is absurd. Frankly, I ' m not sure which. I suspect he may be suggesting that "freak" athletes are unwilling or unable to learn, or be taught. But if that's the point, it isn't worth discussing. I'm sure there are "freaks"
who have been pampered all their playing lives, are are too immature to accept suggestion that they could be better.

Now if his point is that some coaches are less discrete, that is, they will accept gladly overlook or ignore obvious character issues in favor of that individuals athletic acumen for as long as they can take advantage of it, then I agree 100 percent.

PS Are there really coaches who don't coach to win???

I have no argument. I made an observation. It is an observation that helps explains why programs who don't routinely have recruiting classes in the Top 5 can nonetheless compete (and why having annual recruiting classes in the Top 5 does not mean guaranteed success). Disagree with it all you like, but I feel confident in my statement that BC focuses more on player development than most factories. However, I have no interest in responding to the strawman nonsense proferred.

That said, I do find it funny that the guy who deemed Daz a "great" hire would have such a reaction to what would otherwise be seen as a defense of Daz's 10th-in-the-ACC recruiting class. Perhaps, N.O. is thinking that Daz isn't as "great" as he made him out to be.

my issue is that you are pretending that a requirement is a choice. bc has to work with freak athletes that don't mind living somewhere that it is cold, that understand that classes/academics are part of the requirement, and that don't have fans all that willing to attend games much less act as "boosters" (under any definition of the word). as a result, bc doesn't get many freak athletes and are required to find the most talented candidates that accept those three truths to be self evident. that's my issue with your "observation"

So Florida State grabs Mario Edwards, then what? He's exempt from all practices and film study because Florida State doesn't want to take time developing him? Here's a thought for you: maybe you see more improvement from players at non-factory schools because they're recruiting players that are less of a finished product to begin with. Any school you have in mind that you think prefers to develop its players, I can assure you would be happy to take all of Florida State's ready-made players. They don't get kids like that because they are unable to recruit them.

100% correct. Kids who are not highly recruited out of high school have to improve immeasurably just to see the field. Every team in the ACC would trade their recruiting class for FSU's.

I think our secondary status (as described by TRwhatweareE) disincentives a type of corner cutting that is likely most appealing not to the FSUs and Bamas but more to the South Carolinas and NC States of the world.

I live 300+ miles away and made it to the Heights for two games this year, jerk. And I was in my seat for player intros for one of the two.

According to 247, looking over a 4 year average, BC is the lowest ranked of any Big 5 conference team.

BC being ranked 52 last year is retarded.

Thanks for this informative, scintillating and discourse provoking post. HJS has done it again!

These rankings of blue chip prospects are an (the only apparently) accurate star system and also show that the Dazzler cannot recruit. In no way, shape or form does this 'study' reflect the harm inflicted on our program by the dumpster fire spaz created.

Time to fire Daz, forget about in-game coaching and bring in a recruiter, right HJS?

Or maybe this shows that BC is purposefully passing on blue chip prospects because they aren't coachable? Orrrr maybe the factories are passing up on the lower star recruits that are coachable because the coaches simply can't be bothered by teaching their players how to play football.... Orrrr maybe HJS is just happy Rutgers isn't last?

Who knows

This post is funny on so many levels.
