I know he's a freak athlete but is he a football stud or just a freak athlete??? PP was both... What about this kid?
So what is the story exactly with him? I know we won't get everyone so not overreacting but seemed to be very little talk about him...
No interest in miami?
No interest from Miami?

We got on him late, even if we got on him earlier though, he was an LSU guy

Peter,
You're around these guys so maybe you can shed some light on this......how important is it to get in on a guy early? Or first? Isn't it really as important as it seems to be based on the comments you see? I only ask b/c these guys haven't even started their senior years yet, so it doesn't seem to be "late", but by all accounts if you aren't on these kids by their junior years, it seems like you become a longshot. Is that true? Or just a false impression?

Recruiting has changed so much. Everything happens so much earlier in a player's high school career now. Nowadays, if a kid doesn't have any offers heading into their senior year...they're pretty much SOL no matter how well they do senior year. They may pick up smaller level offers, but a big program usually won't offer.
As far as how it affects kids regarding how early a school gets on them, it is a big deal to them. A school doesn't necessarily have to be the first to offer, but they have to be showing early interest. A lot of kids nowadays have no idea how the process works so they feel disrespected. I remember at this time last year, Keith Bryant was telling me he was losing interest in Miami because they weren't showing interest. Mind you, this is when he had one offer, Marshall. Miami ended up being the first big-time program to offer him and now he says one of the reasons he feels loyal to Miami is that they were the first big program to offer.
A lot of kids honestly just lack patience.
