Message: [QUOTE="Exit 4, post: 4230999, member: 2268"] I'm just of the view that in broad terms its very hard for a non P5 program, particularly one lacking recent success to pull in a ton of those well developed juniors that have all the offers, all the attention, all the opportunity. Not saying we can't get any, but it stands to reason that naturally it has to be more difficult and less likely. Late bloomers is what makes college football unpredictable. Late bloomers is were we find difference makers that will elevate this program. Late bloomers are the guys that P5 programs never scout (whoops!!!) because they already filled their class of 25 by mid October. Conversely, I have seen a lot of kids that are the opposite, junior studs and then watch the senior tape and its the same or less impressive as the junior tape. I find a lot of middling and bottom P5 programs have those kids (we have had some too). The very top P5 schools wont put up with those kids, so I dont think it happens as much there....they cut those kids before they sign....and the media never gives them crap for it. [/QUOTE]
