lollllll, there's no bevy of talent in Wisconsin and Oregon lollll....and lets be real, when Nebraska was at their height of their powers way back when, they got most of their talent from Texas. The best recruiting states, in no particular order, Florida, California, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Louisiana (in my opinion). I don't even kno if Alabama produces as much talent LA, Fl and GA.

Boise gets their players from California. Notre Dame has to get players from any scrap of land that they play on. Recruiting is about location AND coaching. When the coaches say the right things or dare I say, pay the right people, you get players.

True, but if you truly look at the star rating system...much of it depends on how many and what schools are after a certain player.

As an Oregon State fan I look at Jacquizz Rodgers. He was a 3* for quite some time when his offers were from Oregon State, SMU, Houston, and UTEP...but in the last month of recruiting he jumped to a 4* after the Big XII schools (minus Texas) started calling him.

I think it would be kind of cool to see the star ratings work like reality, unranked until schools start offering players based on tape and scouting...THEN the players get the star rank...(thats when you'll see 5* busts and 3* booms like in real life)

but to truly do that you'd have to have JR classes involved as well so you can scout them to really get it set up correctly.

If only for scouting purposes to included Jrs and it doesn't take my SR and JuCo time. Maybe allows us to scout 10 per week or something like that.

I would like to scout 10 JRs a week for the future, so we can figure out the ratings of a player. Instead of knowing everything about a player without doing any scouting.

Agreed...you'd have 10 hours "recruiting time" and lets say....10 hours "scouting time"

But you can't scout EVERYONE. As long as the scouting services still put out attributes on players I can deal with the scouting system.

Add in a scouting budget where you can buy scouting services (legally, not Willie Lyles).

I think 40 times, bench press, etc would be available to see right off the bat...like it is now.

So you have to scout everything but the physical attributes? Ok
