Are the days gone of a Coach recruiting a kid out of HS

Who really knows.


I want to speak about Hurley for a second.

He’s from Florida. Was a highly rated player.

Graduated early so he could come to LSU.

Barring any negative consequences of the accident, I believe he was an LSU lifer.

I think he’s a bit different. Something about him said, get me to college. He seems to like college. He seems to like LSU.





There’s always going to be a Domanick Davis. Guys that wait their turn.



Eta. I have zero links to support any of that.

I think the HS will continue to be recruited but they will just have agents earlier than in the past. Kids these days know marketing, per say, so they USE SCHOOLS to get better deals elsewhere. That's really what "COMMITTED" means to HS kids.

I can see HCs getting burned out because you either work yourself to a heart attack or you grow your support staff. Some handle HS, some handle your current players that may leave and of course you have the portal market.

The MILLISECOND Hurley sees his potential path to start as QB at LSU evaporate, he will leave.

I'm positive this guy has NFL aspirations. In order to get there, he has to play. SOMEWHERE.

I have no doubt he wants that opportunity to be at LSU. But you gotta be real about this.

It can still happen at FCS and smaller D1 schools. I bet it happens a fair amount with the roster fillers at the big schools.

Edit: I missed the go pro part. Maybe not as anyone with a chance to go pro is going to have money thrown at them.
