COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECRUITING THE BOX

The 5 Things You Need To Know For February 9, 2019

  1. No Filter Necessary: This young man’s filter is slightly dysfunctional, only to be outdone by the completely dysfunctional system that has been commented on. Although this “approach” is as commonplace as the sin rising in the east and setting in the west, this might be the most emboldened comment we’ve seen on this particular topic. https://usatodayhss.com/2019/auburn-dt-coynis-miller-says-tigers-need-to-drop-that-check-to-keep-players-like-signing-day-flip-george-pickens
  2. A Second Opinion: There’s not much introduction needed for this article entitled, “Corruption Will Continue In NCAA College Basketball Until Schools Can Openly Pay Their Players”, other than THIS IS NOT an endorsement either way for or against compensating student-athletes. It is merely some more information from a very *credible* source of information. Keep in mind this was written nearly 2 years ago. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcedelman/2017/09/27/corruption-will-continue-in-ncaa-college-basketball/#67e272cc3315
  3. More NSD Breakdown: Do you prefer total score or average rating per signee? Are you a quality or quantity person? Here’s a nice little breakdown of how you could answer that. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2017/2/15/14613888/top-national-signing-day-classes-best-ever-ratings-rankings
  4. Well, THAT’S awfully rich: Hello pot, meet our good friend kettle. Given the fact that Portland is Nike country, an article outing one of their biggest rivals, Adidas seems to be the height of irony. Seeing as how many of these companies are involved (Adidas just happened to get caught) in this sort of tomfoolery, it feels like this could be foreshadowing some other issues down the road if in fact Adidas isn’t the only one to have been caught red-handed. https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2019/02/basketball-bribes-how-adidas-bankrolled-a-black-market-for-top-teenage-talent.html
  5. Happy TGIF!: Didn’t know this was a thing, but seriously, this is a thing that’s been considered?!? This is a personal attack to be quite honest. https://www.health.com/food/black-coffee-psychopath
