Offers like this are great to remind us how little recruiting services know
Chark will suddenly be a top 250 player in a few weeks

Great post. Unfortunately the only ones who read it already know it.

The DT from Bama a few years ago received an offer strictly from camp. He didn't have any film.

So they should only offer kids they believe will actually sign with them?

Good post! I can remember being at camp and dealing with guys no one could stop, or ones no one wanted to go up against. In modern times they could have easily been a 3-star.
If you're the star of a camp, you deserve and offer regardless of what Rivals rates you.

There was no film on the recruiting sites, but that doesn't mean the coaches didn't have any to look at.

Now that I love.
Like I said, it had zero to do with the player today. Happy he'll be a Tiger.

That's why I asked if you ignored everything I put in the OP.

idk how u got that from my post.
my post suggests that the staff should only offer the players that the staff would probably accept if they verbaled to lsu.

Good. Maybe someone that actually wants to discuss the topic of this thread will now join in.
You didn't have to address my question dude. I see that you hate to be wrong. I'll be Blount with you, going to camp is not the best option to receive a scholarship offer from a university. That only exists in your world.

I disagree. Sometimes it's worth offering a kid ( who may not be LSU material) if he has a teammate the following year who may be a stud.

Did the DT from Bama end up signing with lsu? Nope. Recruiting and evaluating is a year round process. Chark will be back in July to compete with the big dogs, as will Upchurch. If either of those guys doesn't perform, or if either underperform their senior year, they won't be a part of the class. That's just the cold hard truth and goes for any big time program now. A verbal commit gives you the inside track on signing a kid, until pen is put to paper that is all.
That's why I don't get why people bitch about this stuff. The coaches probably agonize over these decisions - at the end of the day, their jobs are on the line. They are simply not going to take a player they don't feel will be a contributer. They recruit who they feel is the best, so you'd have to conclude based on the fact that they took his commitment they feel he's better than one of the guys who this board has fallen in love with. Good enough for me. When those decisions become a pattern of repeated failures, we start to lose football games. When we start to lose football games, coaches get fired. And so goes college football recruiting.
