    1999 Era Recruiting vs Today (Derailed Maason Smith thread)

    Agree on Dre. He was a monster recruit. Doesn't matter that he played QB/WR in HS. He was a high 4 start type of kid and was on AA lists.

    D, I’ve been around recruiting for a while (started really following in 88-89). While what you say in general is true, this is no longer the 90s and even 00s. It’s the age of information and local diamonds in the rough are harder to evaluate and there is much more competition for them: the last...

    bama has a guy on staff (not sure if he’s still there) from Amite. Over the years they’ve poached a few kids from there bc of this dude (he was responsible for landing devonta smith)

    y'all still pining for this kid? We've been after LA DTs for eons. The last big time LA DL we signed was - I think - Pat Riley. We used to strike out on LA DL year after year in the early to late 00s.

    Cmon man. You know that, I know that but these other schools are easily making pitches to counter that. BAMA, LSU and osu All can point to recent history of high draft picks over us. Our coaches can show kids are history but at some point, kids are going to look at recent successes and make...

    This. However I do recall a story that PP came onto campus after LSU bought him off and basically told randy that he was still interested in us and randy basically told him to **** his own face. Ahh the good ol days where grandmas would tell Randy to his face that their boy was bought and can...
