Which one of these games gets the best recruits to play for it?
Seems to me Under Armour had more big name recruits in that but Army game was all I knew growing up, so how did Under Armour pass it?

US Army Game has always been the all-star game until about 3 years ago. ESPN and Under Armor pump a lot more money into that game than the US Army game so the top end recruits are starting to trend there.

Way more exposure, money, flashy uniforms, big name coaches and former players like Deion Sanders

That's only because of ESPN & UA $$$$$$$$$.

The Army All-American Game was the original HS all-star game. It used to be just to show case the kids without all the damn corporate flash. Now that ESPN & Under Armour has put it's $$$$ hooks into recruiting its all about the show.

Not saying the kids playing it are not better BUT the Army All-American Game used to be just about the kids and their talent.

Sorry, I'll take this game over the UA game everyday.

I have a feeling the Army game will get more and more watered down in the next few years. The UA has all the things that attract teenagers...ESPN, flashy uniforms, better location, more national exposure.

Army game is much more professional and classy. UA game is amateur hour.
