Except college coaches can assess a kids speed with a stopwatch and 10 seconds of their time. They can also watch a kid play or study his game tape to look at how he is in man coverage. What the college coaches have no ability to do however is interpret if a coaching staff has an axe to grind. That is a terrible comparison. You are not wrong in your position that you can chime in on a kids attitude, but it should be done with the utmost caution, as the kid has everything to lose while those recruiters will be right back there the next year if you were withholding moral narrative but have a fresh crop of division 1 athletes that can benefit their program.Hold up...
I don't know what was said by Heritage's coaches, but college recruiters appreciate honesty. If a kid is a jerk, most high school coaches will let the college recruiters know. (and they should)
I don't wanna hear this BS about "he's just a kid". You know who else is "just a kid"? The other 5,000 kids in the country competing for scholarships.
You wouldn't have a problem with a high school coach telling a recruiter about a kid's lack of speed or inability to play man coverage, would you? Why is a kid's character off limits?
Like I said, I don't know what Heritage's staff told recruiters but I'm just setting something straight. We (coaches) have every right to tell college recruiters about a kid's character. It's part of the player that he is.
