I remember when you didn't even know who a player was on a college football team until he was a junior sometimes. Now you're expecting All Americans when watching their junior year HIGH SCHOOL tapes. It's a different world now, for sure.
And you know we're almost all to blame for this? Lol! Message boards discussing the next best HS Soph or Junior and websites making big money to find the top ranked kids from every site and rank the best recruiting class, camps all over the country to watch kids play in shorts and T shirts. NSD is almost like a holiday now, I laughed as friends of mine called off work to watch kids sign a piece of paper and watch analysts oogle over HS kids who have never set foot on a college campus and predict how some were "can't miss" and "program changing". It certainly is a new world, and all of us here have helped usher it in, just like the message boards for every college football team.

Totally agree. And people wonder why these kids go above and beyond to do the next crazy way to commit to a college. They know everybody is watching.
