Hoos Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 After finishing a season my starting RB and 3rd string both graduated, leaving me with 2 RB's- a (FR) who will be the starter and my backup from last season a true SO (not all that good). Let me say, I love the idea that recruits seeing 2 young rb's in the depth chart aren't all that interested in my school, but i think it goes too far. There were no RB recruits who had me rated above a 3-interest and no matter the quality of player I recruited, I couldn't get anyone to show any better interest. At the end of the day I was unable to get a RB commit on my own, but received an 'assigned' scholarship player and a walk-on after recruiting. I am coaching Virginia and have above-average prestige. I expect and like that quality backs don't want to come to my school and backs that place emphasis on playing time won't take my call either. I would hope that something could be done such that in-state players who value location or head coach and wouldn't receive attention from an above-average prestige type school would still have interest in my program despite the depth chart issues. On a similar note, arlie or others can you tell me if 1 of the 2 RBs on my roster had declared for the draft would the recruits have realized it and re-evaluated their interest in my school.

Colbster Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 what's it matter, they aren't eligible for the draft and hopefully that will be fixed so they don't leave school for a draft they aren't eligible for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
