re: Lindy's 5 Year Recruiting Rankings

The stats of rankings are so skewed it's pathetic. Bottom line is agencies don't have the manpower to scout every player nationwide. Speaking with a buddy of mine yesterday evening at dinner we discussed the flaws in the system. Powerhouses like Alabama, Florida, etc. have manipulated the numbers. How do you explain a two-star player magically jumping to three or four following being offered by one of them. They say, "Damn! If he is being offered by Saban, he must be great. Let's move his stats up even though we never saw him."

30% of recruited players are never once scouted live by someone. For instance, this year, a DE from Houston HS (Houston, MS) was a one-star nothing. After a camp hosted by Mississippi two years ago, the Rebels' coaches jaws dropped and offered him a scholarship and $30,000 right then and there. They just asked him to keep it quiet. Next year, he attends the Miss. State camp and they say the same thing, only less money. He signs with them without any public notice due to the bias of the system.

You guys are taking this WAY too seriously. Remember what Lindy's tells us...

Of course he is. You can't seriously be suggesting that Les Miles marched into mighty Bryant Denny Stadium, onto the turf of the Lord Saban, and beat him in his own house, in front of his own kids, and 100,000+ screaming Bama fans, on coaching, can you?
