Back when I was being recruited, there was this dude who had like a 10 ish page mailer with some updates and the top 10 players from each position and called them Blue Chips. It was a big deal to make the Blue Chip list. I made it at like 8. I might still have it somewhere.
People actually got their recruiting news weekly in a mailer and paid for it.
I have no idea how that dude knew who was really good or not in that era. Pretty sure he never saw me play.

The Forrest Davis magazine was a big deal for a long time, even though it turns out Forrest Davis was kind of a bozo. In one of his last magazines he had Tyler Watts as his number 1 player in the southeast and predicted that DJ Shockley would be moved to wide receiver in college lol.
