Actually they've been quoted as saying they go for the best athlete within their grading system, regardless. That's what I've always heard from the coaching staff.


I'll see if I can find the quote, but I recall reading a recent article (since camp started) where GP was quoted about his recruiting of DL. Basically said he doesn't even look to see if the kid can play football. He's looking for athletes or something along those lines.

Yea see that really doesn't even make sense, being a football players goes well beyond just being an athlete. Like that big OL they had from Ohio, Freeman I think, a real physical monster, just not the mindset to play football.

BTW AJ Harris is a Rivals 4 star..

Considering the fact that we offer plenty of 4-5 stars that we just don't get I have to conclude some of what comes out of COMO is simply coach speak for, "we just ain't that good at recruiting the stars kids".
