If you were a recruit

  • where would you go play at? Excluding your homer school. No doubt in my mind im heading to the coast and USC. Has everything a young man needs except for Lane. Second would be Texas

  • FSU. The trim down in the T is second to none.

    For sure bro. It is a tough call. Cali or Florida. I'd have to get drunk & sleep on it.

  • Here is a copy of a post I made on VotH back in July that discusses something similar:

    First off, proximity to home wouldn't make a difference to me. Here are the things that would be most important to me:

    Academics: Is it a good school and would I be allowed to be a "student-athlete"?

    Coaching consistency: Am I going to play for 3 different coordinators in my 5 years?

    Geography: Namely how close the school is to a major metroplex? Iowa City is almost too small for me. Ames definitely is.

    Winning: 6-6 is as bad as I want to be.

    Player development: Will I be a better player when I'm 23 than I was when I was 18? If they can develop my talent, then I can hopefully start. Maybe if they develop me well enough I can play in the NFL even if I'm not a starter, like Clay Matthews or Felix Jones.

    Ethics: Will my 9-3 team be ineligible to play in a bowl? If my team wins the conference title, will that get wiped off the books in five years? If so, count me out.

    Other than Iowa, I think Northwestern, Stanford, Cal, and maybe Texas or Colorado would be among my leaders. [After spending almost a year living in Waco, I would definitely consider Baylor, though the ethics side of their athletic department isn't great. I also think Michigan would be worth a visit.]

  • LSU. Program will get you ready for the NFL, Baton Rouge is a party and you are within close proximity to New Orleans for an even bigger party.

    2. LSU love their colors swag.

    3. Florida Gators the girls and getting a chance to play FSU.

    4. Last one is a shocker. Southern University. Their band gets hype. It's time African American athletes go back to hbc's.

    Wow okay, but I wasn't aware that African American athletes ever left the HBCUs? shrug

    ~95% of the people and kids that I know at HBCUs are AA and they love it. Nothing wrong with HBCUs and caliber of athletes coming out these institutions.

    I am thinking USC, LSU & Texas. Would love to be close to New Orleans as that would be simply bananas!
    Couldn't imagine being 18 and camped out in Miami. I don't think that I would be a student athlete for long.........

    Youpeace know what i mean , i mean to top level AA athletes. Well that's never going to happen like the 4 or 5 star kids.
    but if your high 2 star kid .or lower level 3 star kid. why not go Howard, Southern or Hampton. Yes LSU is great love their tradition its the closest thing to going to HBCU out there. rockon

    Okay back at cha!

    Yes there is nothing wrong with Howard, Hampton, Southern, Grambling, or my favorite...Morehouse College.

    I would take any of those schools.

    GO BUCKS!!

    I get down voted for speaking the truth. About 2 star lower level 3 star athletes should go to HBCU.S. perfect example. Maryland my school had a DT , ge t got no playing time, he went to hampton. guess what he wil lbe a drafted player or atleast get a free agent look. If he would have stayed at a Div 1 school he wouldnt have got the playing time.
    alot of times Div1 schools close up their classes with kids i call"scout practice players " guys that will neve rstart ever at that school. but have alot of skills. Am saying if your one of those kids why not just go to Southern , or Hampton, or B cookman or something. And play all 4 years, get a ton of playing time and learn about where you came from.

    Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".
