Harbaugh signed about 3 kids from Alabama this year. I don't have the names right now, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as a steal or not. I guess we'll see how they pan out.

It's just a picture meant to get a laugh. You're correct, satellite camps were used before Harbaugh. The article below points out that no one cared when James Franklin introduced them. I really hope he reads it.Originally posted by iam416 View Post

Yeah, steal implies that Saban wanted them. That was my question.Harbaugh signed about 3 kids from Alabama this year. I don't have the names right now, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as a steal or not. I guess we'll see how they pan out.
No, I get the meme. It works. Franklin introduced the pro-active "tour" type thing. But I think they were in existence well before that. MAC schools come to OSU's camp (and, I assume, M's camp) to evaluate and coach kids. As far as the kids go, THAT is the real benefit of going to a big dog camp -- there will tons of chances to get noticed by a school you might actually be able to play for. Banning that stuff is just awful.It's just a picture meant to get a laugh. You're correct, satellite camps were used before Harbaugh.

What HARBAUGH!!!! did was a publicity stunt. It worked. It drew lots of attention and poked a bear. There was a sensible way to regulate these things by, you know, say limiting them in quantity. But that was never an option for a couple reasons. Hopefully they'll do something to walk this back a little bit to at least allow for the case where MAC schools help at a Big Camp.
They're of little value to M or OSU, as I've been saying. So this ruling does little to hurt them.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Sure, but people from Ohio seem to struggle with that sort of distinction. One way to help is to use phoneticised spellings, to simplify where possible. Use ``picshur'', or ``laff''. Increases the odds of correct interpretation.Originally posted by Rocky Bleier View PostComment

I love Stanfords HC's reaction to the ruling with a big slap to the SEC's kids.
I'm great with whatever college football says, because it doesn't affect us. It doesn't make sense for us to go hold a camp someplace where there might be one person in the entire state that's eligible to get into Stanford."F#*K OHIO!!!

Urban Meyer is on the right side for once:
Any theories as to why Harbaugh has not responded?Last edited by Rocky Bleier; April 11, 2016, 02:45 PM.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.

"Those are the only two reasons, to selfishly guard your recruiting base -- and that’s the major motive -- or laziness,” he said. “OK, so we’re going to elevate those over the interests of, in particular, low-income student-athletes and providing them an opportunity? It’s by far one of the most absurd things ever. If we’re even close to who we say we are, this idealistic sport, student-athlete, college football -- if we’re even remotely close to what we say we are, that needs to be overturned immediately.”Comment

Saying "guard your recruiting base" is too micro of a reason for there to be only two reasons.
Macro view, it's all about income/money. That's a good enough reason for a lot of things, like satellite camps.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeillComment

Correct. M and O-state will be able to recruit nationally quite well without the need for these camps.Originally posted by iam416 View Post
I think, however, that this ban will increase the gap between the haves and the have nots in the B1G. Without the camps, JH may not be as aware of the under-the-radar recruits that he grabbed last year ... without those to target JH and other will have to focus all their energies on reeling in the well-known big fish. That means fewer "big fish" to go around.
JH and Urbz can work in tandem to create playing field where the B1G champion is always in the playoff and well rested, and is always M or O-state --- I think that's coming. Let the SEC and ACC horde these players --- what's important for M is that they get distributed amongst the SEC and ACC schools a bit better than now. Let the SEC champion take a pounding getting to the championship game --- or better yet let them absorb 2-3 losses and not make it to the playoffs at all.
Unfortunately, the victims in all this, as JH, Delano Hill, and other M players have noted is the under-the-radar recruits who are trying to earn a big-time scholarship.
I believe this will prove to be a stupid move by the SEC and ACC --- it makes them and NCAA look petty, which is what I believe is exactly what JH was going for.Comment

as his next move, JH should go to Steven Ross about funding an "Michigan HS Academy" in Florida --- in a way competing with IMG.
That would really cause fits down in Saban-landComment
