The problem is its not a business for these kids.
Really? So they are not thinking that college ball may ultimately lead to the pros and millions of dollars?

Really?



Since you asked me I will try to answer. I think we are both right. For some of the highly coveted kids, yes, its a business. Take your visits, ride the recruiting roller coaster, get your offers, make your pick. Usually at the last minute.

But this kid committed to LSU, his dream school, way early in the process. Like as a junior. Other schools stopped recruiting him. He was set. It was not a business decision for him. He missed the whole recruiting process. He was LSU all in. Then late in the game they pull his scholly.

So yeah. For most of the Rivals top 50 or 100 or wherever you want to draw the line--kids destined for the NFL--recruiting is a business just like it is for the program.

But don't lump this kid in with that group. Not the same. And I'm not judging the school or the kid. JMO

Technically they didn't. He gets a FULL scholarship, but one semester late. Lots of of solid recruits don't even get a preferred walk on spot.
