No way we should buy in to this whole package idea...


Scholarships are currency in this particular economy. You would spend multiple scholarships to get 1 great player (only real reason you would ever sign more than 2 QBs in the same class, for example) - you do it with multiple players at the same position, why not do it with a package deal?

Hypothetical - you find a kid who looks to be the next Patrick Peterson or Bo Jackson, or whatever, and he has a buddy, a legitimate blue-chipper, but just outside the range of kids you normally recruit or you already have too many or, whatever - you're saying you don't try the package offer to seal the deal?

That would be a different story considering if the packaged player is a LEGITIMATE blue-chipper that we were already targeting, however the players in question here would be Gallman and Kamara. No way i think we would take Kamara and Gallman doesnt really stand out when compared to any of our current commits.

No, because there is no guarantee the main guy will be another Bo Jackson or what ever and you are setting a bad precedent with him to begin with. The only position where 1 guy can really be a make or break guy is QB and is that 5* Vince Young or Terrelle Pryor? Cam Newton or Ryan Perriloux?
