Yep. We need to add staff members. But it needs to be football people too not just interns. Bama roped Phil Savage (former NFL GM & current Senior bowl coordinator). Savage does the games in radio but I have read that he helps to evaluate high school talent as well. We need people who can identify talent. High school coaches and former NFL people.

I love how Smith goes, "When I put on the tape of Breeland Speaks..." STFU dude. You don't own tape of any of these guys nor would you even have access to it. You watch youtube just like all of us. "Tape"...smh.

LOL, you're really misinformed. Sonny and Jimmy have worked/are working with Elite Scouting, a talent evaluation company whose clients include OU, Texas, Oregon, A&M, and many more. They DO have access to more than you tube, and you wouldn't believe how many prospects send them their videos.

or at least staffers do, but they typically parse through all the video and put the best stuff on their DV Sport system for the coaches to use.

Explaining it in all that detail would be a waste of time though, I dont think he has a full understanding of what goes on.

Okay well now I'm confused. Why would a prospect send a video to a recruiting analyst? What does that do for the recruit?

Go check out Jimmys retweets, or Keith Niebuhr, or any of the high profile 247 or scout guys. They retweet kids and their highlights all the time. They build relationships with these kids, just like coaches do, and put their names out there for recruiting services to rank them and for schools to notice them.

If I was a recruit, I'd be sending my tape to anybody that would take it. Anybody that can put me on the map.

This is true, because it's also true that schools do actually use recruiting services to find players and information.

And to hopefully get information about their recruitment from them so that people will pay for access to that information. A symbiotic relationship.

Certainly, you possess below-average intelligence.
