biases certain existence hurts promote recruiting
The existence of biases hurts recruiting ... intentionally overlooking some things just because you want to promote certain kids.
aggressive answer coaches persona sidelines urban watch wife
I think if you watch the aggressive way Urban Meyer coaches on the sidelines during a game, and watch his wife in the stands, you know they're not going to take no for answer from a recruit. I think his persona has a lot to do with his recruiting.
commitment gets guy highly huge matter news ranked team
It doesn't even matter if a guy is highly ranked at the end. Even if a team gets a commitment from a two- or three-star guy, that's huge news (to fans).
check gut hurricane low miami point
I think this is going to go down as a gut check for the Miami Hurricane program. They're at a low point recruiting-wise.
charm charming great inflict injury player recruiting somebody taking winning
I think that's part of the charm of recruiting. You can never get enough great players. It's just another way to inflict injury on your rivals. That's why recruiting is so important to some people. You're winning two times. You're getting a player and you're taking him away from somebody else.
williams year
I thought it was a disappointing year in Arizona. Jermaine Williams was the only top-ranked player.

guys might percent prep starter starts super team
I would be the first to tell you that if 50 percent of the guys I put on the Super Prep All-American team make it, I would be happy. About one out of every two guys is going to be a disappointment in some way. But what is success, a guy who starts two years, an all-conference player? He might even be a starter and still be a disappointment.

You can have all the talent in the world and have a mediocre team. You see it all the time. The bottom line is it's all about coaching. The success of a football team has everything to do with leadership at the top.
appeal stature
They have the stature now where they can appeal to anyone, anyplace.
couple factors kid marriage married picking player problem saying spreading ways
It's like going to the courthouse and picking out 50 marriage certificates and spreading them out and saying who is going to be married 40 years from now. There are so many factors that come into play. How is a player going to mature? Is he going to have a drug problem in a couple of years? There are so many ways for a kid to go sideways, and sometimes it has nothing to do with anything negative.
brother father imagine matt
It's irresistible. You look at Matt Simms and imagine hundreds of conversations he's had with his father and brother about what to do under pressure.
combined coming talent win
There's enough talent there on defense, combined with what they have coming back on offense, to win the whole enchilada.
hear kids leaders parents start thinking
It's all about coaching. The kids hear about a team's success, the parents hear about it. They start thinking this is where the leaders are and this is where the championship experiences are.
