“Don’t tell my mamma I’m a recruiting guru. She thinks I play piano in a whorehouse.”

Here's a great (all be it hyper-cynical) look at recruiting to add a little perspective a week before NLOI signing day:

I gotta say I agree with a lot of what he says, but even if you don't it's still funny. I thought about posting on the recruiting board, but then thought better of it.

I love the ending:

As “Signing Day” approaches (February 2), remember the cardinal rule … How many “stars” a recruit has only matters if he signs with your school. All highly rated prospects who sign with a rival are OVERRATED. Low rated prospects who sign with your school have ENORMOUS POTENTIAL. And EVERY COACH is "excited about this group of outstanding young men blah blah blah..."

… Recruiting is to college athletics what a prostate exam is to an annual physical. Otherwise legitimate academic institutions grab their ankles and take it up the butt for Saturday Braggin' Rights.

MODS: Feel free to move this if it belongs elsewhere...
