The Rest of College Football

And in the more shameless shit category, ESPN has Houston Nutt on to lead a discussion on oversigning. Unreal.

[drok]

Wow on both of those

[iam416]

Imagine locking in your spot early with Bama, staying committed to them all year and then, on NLOID, being told we don't have room for you, you should greyshirt. That's low even for Nick Saban.

[entropy]

and that is f'ing wrong. Kid should step back and then say, I'm on the market. Who has scholarhips available, and take the next few weeks to decide.

[iam416]

I think he will, but a lot of schools will be full up....

....the lesson to be learned, is if you're a 3*, be wary....the problem is, these kids don't see themselves as 3* -- they all see themselves as being to step in and play....

[entropy]

lesson is don't trust the SEC

[The Oracle]

But it's hyper competetive in the SEC. That's the only way to do it.

[Wild Hoss]

They should all know that by now...either people down there just see it as normal and simply don?t care, or these schools are buying them off on their way out the door to FCS schools.

Interesting to note...the SEC schools averaged 21.8 signees today. The Big Ten averages 21.6. Break it down a little further though:

AL, FL, LSU, SC and Arkansas signed 120 players collectively. 24 per.

tOSU, Mich, MSU, WI and NU signed 96 players. 19.2 per.

[iam416]

Over any 5 year period, SEC schools will generally sign a FULL CLASS more than Big Ten schools.

[Wild Hoss]

In the last five years Alabama has signed 137 recruits to letter of intent.

In that same timespan Nebraska has signed 107, with 28 of those being the remainder of Bill Callahan's final class. Nu hasn't inked more than 22 in a class since.

[Hannibal]

I hope that the media hammers the balls out of Saban for that one. Of course, they hammered LSU a couple of years ago and look at how much it hurt them.

[entropy]

that is suppose to change with the new SEC rules..

[iam416]

Why would the SEC on ESPN hammer the SEC? Today is yet another today of SEC reverence, Hanni.

[WM Wolverine]

You'd think guys would want to stay away from coaches like Saban. Win at all costs.

[Hannibal]

Heh -- RichRod's commits so far:

0 5*
0 4*
10 3*
4 2*
