Just think a kid I south georgia has to find a way to go to Atlanta get a hotel room for 2 days and play to participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneNick Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 You have to pay for these camps? WTF? If anybody knows a kid/kids that can’t pay for their “entrance fee” let me know where I can send the money. Lame as shit these camps charge kids to evaluate them. Especially when they’re charging adults to read about those “evaluations” online. I’ve seen those experts miss so many times I won’t pay for that recruiting crap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time though, it's not the only factor they use to evaluate kids and give them stars. Through the last several years, Rivals has had scouts visit Colquitt and evaluate some of the talent, often tweeting about what they're seeing. I do agree it's a shady and seedy service though. If paying to go to one of their camps gets someone favoritism in their ratings, the ratings became garbage at that moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter you don't get stars at these camps. Rivals Camps and Rivals Combines are free. Prospects must provide their own transportation to events. A limited number of $20 Fast Pass are available for each combine.4 days ago https://www.rivalscampseries.com/rivals-camp-series/ The Rivals Camp Series are the premier free regional camps reserved for the top high school recruits. If you want to get seen by coaches and catch the attention of D1 programs, there is no better place to show out than a Rivals Camp. You will participate in position-specific drills (QBs, RBs, WR/TEs, OLs, DLs, LBs, and DBs), and showcase your talent when you face off against other top-tier athletes in one-on-ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldballcoach Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 It is all a money grab. Tom Lemming has been by a bunch each time he confirms these combines are a waste the AA teams are selected before these things even happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it free? Do the players have to buy their uniforms? Your go fund me has only raised $200 so that can’t help much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not aware of this "cash grab?" Why you think it's harder for rural area kids or smaller school kids to get recognition unless you go to a well-known school?

Atticus Finch Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Despite constituting only around 10% of all FBS college football players, blue chip recruits (4-star and 5-star) made up 53% of First Round picks in the last NFL Draft. In other words, despite this silliness the recruiting services pretty much know what they're doing. 2021 NFL Draft by recruiting ranking 5-stars: 7 4-stars: 10 3-stars: 14 2-stars: 1 1-star: 0 Unranked: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Tom Lemming does a nice job of touring the country and highlighting kids. His Twitter feed is a cool follow. I added a recent TX mention, along a with a few examples of kids highlighted and comments. Film is vital for a recruit in a rural area and also perhaps not playing in a strong league. Coaching staff needs to assist as well imo to help send the PR message. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I see a 4 star from Frenship HS in TX, a 3 star from DBP and of course I noticed a few STA kids names right away, one of whom has no rating or any offers ‘23 class. I’ll check them all eventually. Edit: King Large (dig the name!) SJB 2024, no offers. DeAndre Carter (big fella) ‘24 Mater Dei and 7 offers. Wonder what his pancake total was last season. Jimothy Lewis from MS, 247’s early ‘24 top OT. Some nice offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double checked his Twitter acct. He may have come over with Justin Bodford ‘24 DT, not sure. Kid should have offers by now and I’m sure will by spring visits.

There are something like ~250+ blue chip prospects each year X 4 years (perhaps extra years due to COVID) = ~1,000 blue chips 85 scholarships X 130 FBS teams = ~11,000 players. ~1,000 / ~11,000 = ~10% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
