re: How did we go from Stingley being questionable to opting out?

Hell, just a few years ago Trendon Watford, a 5 star player out of Alabama, who was on the LSU basketball team was interviewed about the upcoming LSU/Alabama football game. He said in the interview he was an "Alabama football fan" and essentially said he was rooting for Alabama in the game because that's where he grew up...even though he was currently a student at LSU!!!

Of course there are outliers and i agree with your original comment; I was just trying to say that wasn’t every kids mindset. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a kid being interviewed on NSD after signing and them asking why he choose who he choose and he says because I grew up a fan and watching all their games with my family and/or dad every Saturday, blah blah blah etc…

Granted I will admit this though; I’m basing my comment off of the past. What we see in CFB now and recently is something completely different than what it used to be; I totally agree with you about most top recruits in CFB’s present state, look at where/who they sign with as a business decision… that fire and passion and love for the game and/or a team that recruits had in the past, is becoming more and more obsolete.
