What I look at when reviewing recruit offer lists on 247

I also like what Campbell used to say about watching tapes of entire games of recruits. He wanted to see what they were like on the sideline when they weren't in the game and what they do on plays that don't feature them making some highlight play.

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?

Most everyone on here probably looks at the recruit's other offers. If you look back a couple years ago (under Rhoads) we often were recruiting against Texas State, Arkansas State or Georgia State. The results on the field were terrible.

Now we recruit against Oregon, Notre Dame and Michigan State. The results are obviously so much better.

Like everyone, I look at the other offers. I also like to watch the kid's highlights. It tells you a lot about the competition level and his overall ability.

1. How does the athletes play-style match with his frame and measurables? For WR, how will he create mismatches against Big 12 DB's? Height, 40 time and shuttle help to measure their god given abilities. If he runs track, 100m time?

For Lineman, I like a MAN with a big back. If he wrestles, even better.

2. Tape.

This. For skill position players, one of the first thinks I do is google for possible track times. There’s usually some correlation...and a relatively poor track time sets off alarm bells.

The latter hasn’t really happened in the last few years. For some odd reason.

So do they know the difference between "in other words" and "another words"?

Seriously, I look at the composite rating. Kind of a blunt instrument, but I'm not THAT into recruiting....

Texting has totally made me immune to grammar errors. Crazy deal considering I'm an edubicator.

 

[VeloClone]

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.

Exactly the name that popped into my head.

Of course, I always look at offers and then size for their position (measurables). But then it's just looking at the video.
QB: arm strength, mobility, touch
RB: speed, elusiveness, ability to grind out yards when there isn't a huge hole.
WR: speed, elusiveness, high pointing the ball, basically fighting for the ball when it's in the air.
OL: balance, quickness of feet, nastiness...finishing plays.
DL: toughness, quickness off the ball, use of hands, awareness, running down ball carriers
LB: instinct, speed, sure tackling
DB: quickness/hips, speed, tackling/willingness to put their nose in and hit someone.

Obviously, there's not a ton any of us can learn from highlights, but it's at least a snapshot.

I look for the coaches to do their jobs and I'll do mine.

I guess if part of my job is to fork over a bunch of money every year to watch them play, I can reserve the right to evaluate their recruiting and predict how those players will fit into the team. Some people don't have any interest in following recruiting, but I think it's pretty fun.
