What I look at when reviewing recruit offer lists on 247

[tolfbfan]

My first look is to see if an Ivy, academy, or school like Stanford has offered. Another words is the dude smart. If offered by these type schools then the young man obviously has good grades and probably a solid work ethic.
I'm also convinced that the home visits are done to show love toward the potential student / athlete, but also gives the staff a great look at the family dynamics. Sometimes this staff, like all staffs, will get a player that doesn't live up to the standards of "THE PLAN" , but it's not because they haven't done their due diligence.

What does everyone else look at when reviewing a committed or recruited player?

Mainly just the offer list to see if any other power 5 teams have shown interest.

 

[JimmyChitwood]

I look at all the offers. See how many P5 offers there are plus the "elite" higher learning offers. I think this staff wants a player with ambitions off the field just as important as their ambitions on the field.

Height. If not 6-10, DO NOT WANT.

I generally look at the recruits mother..

I take it you're a big Brock Purdy fan.

I usually watch the player's highlight reel and offer up a totally unqualified opinion and sometimes a "He reminds me of" or "Looks like a cross between" just for fun.

I like to see if he sweats or not.

[Rabbuk]

If a name has too many vowels they're a bust.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I generally look for P5 offers and then ask our resident Hawk fans if any of those offers are comittable.

Those offers are just a cherry on top. What matters to me is which P5 programs did we beat out. I believe it was Cyclad who said "You are who you recruit against."

 

[CyCloned]

I am way more sold on the offer list than the stars. I figure those guys that are making millions to find guys that will help keep their jobs are a better judge of who is good than a guy that spends 15 minutes looking at tapes and stats.

 

[Aclone]

It really only matters if I see that they were offered by the TOE—and then they pulled the offer. Then I know they’re good!

 

[TXCyclones]

If a name has too many vowels they're a bust.

I laughed at this one simply because one name immediately came to mind. But it is only half vowels.
Kelechi Osemele

So what's your vowel to consonant ratio?

Because I feel like Eyioma Uwazurike has solid potential too.

 

[NoCreativity]

When I go on Rivals I always filter by the composite ratings and then go see what other schools offered them. If its alot of Power 5 teams like Campbell is competing against I like, if its UNI and Akron like the Paul Rhodes era I dont like.

 

[madguy30]

I don't follow recruiting all that much but I will check to see if other P5 schools were involved.

Star wise as long as they're 3 stars I'm confident in them being solid.

Jokingly, a good football name helps. There seems to be an uptick in ISU's good football names recently, and the results speak for themselves.

Reminds me of the scene in Kingdom of Heaven.

Balian of Ibelin: What is Jerusalem worth?
Saladin: Nothing.
Saladin: Everything!

It's the same with "stars"!

 

[CyArob]

How many toes do they have? That's always my first question when evaluating.
