Do people take these SPARQ competitions serious?

Or more specifically are these verts officially used? This mat shite is stupid. Mine on those things is almost respectable, and much higher than it actually is.

Sparq is so stupid.... auburn had a linebacker recruit a few years ago who was a sparq beast... and a terribly shitty linebacker.

We all take it very very serious.

Oh the mat is bs - those numbers are all for show but the rest of the scores are ok. The problem with SPARQ is that it favors smaller guys over bigger ones. So you kinda have to know that a lineman posting a 100 or better is outrageously good and adjust it all yourself. None of the SPARQ measurements are the end all be all but they do help a lot of prospects get noticed, especially under the radar prospects - that's what they're best for (lot of kids at small schools will start getting looked at and considered if they post a good SPARQ when before no one paid any attention to the tape they were sending out).

I only take it seriously if one our commits does well.
If not, it's a joke and not meant to be taken seriously.

I look at it like star ratings: could mean something, could not mean something. But still something to talk about...

SPARQ is a fantastic, standardized way to evenly and electronically measure the athletic ability of players. It's just one of the tools used to measure the current ability of players, but it's not the whole picture. How the guy looks on tape, performs in drills, works at practice, plays in games, etc...is also a part of the rating/ranking of the player.
SPARQ is valuable to measure players like the NFL Combine is to the Pro's. They get guys to run/execute the drill under the same conditions/surface/temperature/date as a bunch of other guys.
