He just went on a rant about how his son was one of the top TEs in the nation after his junior season, he committed to Notre Dame and stopped going to camps, they labeled him a 2 star.
Then he had 100 excuses why his son didn't get real playing time in college that had nothing to do with his talent. The whole point of this was so they could say recruiting rankings are pointless

I don't have a link but he sounded like a buthurt baby

I have a 30 minute drive to work at 6:45, I flip between ESPN, local Dallas radio, and NPR world news.
When the other two are on commercial I listen to M&M

Mike and Mike are so cartoonish.

The only great thing they do is have frank caliendo on. His stephen A impression is the best thing I've ever heard.

his kid was a 2 star and didn't play much in college and he thinks recruiting rankings are pointless?

well he does have a point here

the recruiting services rely heavily on the camps and its obvious the kids the commit early don't get the bumps/hype that kids that hold till NSD get

the rest of the stuff though is probably butthurt

LeBatard did a great job calling them out.

He played clips of Mike and Mike ranting about how "disgusting and disgraceful" Doug Baldwin's TD celebration was, and how they agreed they shouldn't have shown it on live TV.

Then LeBatard points out that Golic just released a photo of his bare butt, and Mike Greenberg once got pooped on by a cow during a bit that they replayed over and over and over.

For those that didn't hear, that whole segment showed how clueless they are. The whole basis for his argument that recruiting rankings were irrelevant was the fact that his son went to the Army All American combine as a junior and made it on some "All Combine Team". "How is he a 2 star after making that all combine team??? because he refused to go to the camps that are hosted by the guys who make the rankings!!"

Worse than that, Greenie tried to list these theories why the NFL isn't "overrun with former 5 star recruits", basically using that as the lone basis of his argument that the rankings are dumb. I guess no one bothered to tell Greenie that there are like 30 - 5 stars a year, and about 250 - 4 stars, even more 3 stars, etc... might have something to do with it yea Greenie?

Yep, seems to me like the rankings nailed it, he was a great high school player who clearly didn't translate that well into college

How the pleb keeps a job is mind blowing.

His son was a fricking cancer, a waste of a scholatship and should have been a zero star.

this statement is true and anybody that follows recruiting knows it, the kids know it too

the rest of the stuff he bitched about is probably retarded

No doubt, his family just had a false sense of confidence based on making some all combine team.

Well he acted like its 100% political. Like if you don't go to their camp they intentionally slight you. Maybe that's true sometimes, but really if you don't go to the camps they aren't able to see you and get a true rating

Easy guys, I thought he made some good points. We can debate whether his kids were good enough to go to ND, but his point was that the kid earned his way with that junior combine, then watched his stock plummet when he didn't kowtow to the apparel camps (which were meaningless at that point). The better point he could have made is how a lower tier kid actually gets a pop in ratings sometimes just because a certain school takes him. I know there was a lot of criticism of Mack Brown for clearing spots for highly rated juniors that didn't have good senior seasons. But, because they committed to Texas, they still had high ratings.

Well you're making a good point but he was not.
Also they repeated like 12 times that no 5 star recruits started in the Super Bowl like somehow that proves something

Naaa...actually a point can be made that he was only invited to that combine in the first place because of his name.

His kid never earned crap man. Possibly the biggest waste of scholarship space in ND history
