He has seriously outed himself in this thread. He had a good runQuote:

I hate to say it but if we don't start recruiting like this...we will never win the preseason national championship
Yes. Has he not been outed yet? I've only been back on the board a few days now and just assumed he was a known bear that we were toying with.Quote:

If you are a damn good ballplayer, you will get noticed, recruited, and will sign with a power 5 college. The amount of money you spend sending your child to IMG dwarfs what you save by him/her receiving a scholarship. In my opinion, it's rather silly.
The big time recruits on the football team aren't paying a dime to IMG.Quote:

I don't necessarily disagree with you especially about the tuition part. However if you're a ball player playing at a low level school going to IMG definitely enhances your chances of getting seen by more schools thus having a better shot at a scholarship.Quote:

Mustain is the perfect example of recruiting stars dont guarantee future College or professional sucess. He was a rock star and savior of the Arkansas program before he even finished High School. Very Little was said about Williams and Malzahn. It was all "Mustain is the next Peyton Manning." Williams is in the NFL. Malzahn is a SEC head coach. Mustain went undrafted.Quote:

Hey Ifyouonlyknew....are we actively recruiting Rob Hall from MC? He just got offered by Vandy. He ripped it up against Brandon.
Mustain is a bad argument in the stars don't matter discussion - the guy started as a true freshman on a team that won a lot of games. McFadden, Malzahn, etc have a lot to do with that, but Mustain looked good in early action. His problem was between the ears and got messed up in the transfer deal. If Arkansas didn't have the coaching turmoil and Mustain would have stayed there and been a 4 year starter, everyone would have a different opinion of him. Maybe he wouldn't have made the NFL still, but I think everyone would think of him as a solid QB.Quote:

Mustain is the poster child.
I base my opinion on the facts. There is no way to actually know if coaching turmoil or any of his mother's blah blah blah (Houston Nutt is the devil) excuses were his problem.
Facts; He was highly rated out of HS. He didn't start teh first game but came in later during a blow loss to USC at home. He was surrounded by NFL talent on offense (3 NFL RBs and at least 2 futurn NFL WRs). He lost the job later in the year to DIck.
He went to USC and never moved higher than 3 on the USC depth chart.
He went undrafted. He tried his hand in the arena league. He did not last long.
As for the comparasion to the Mallett.........I was referrring more to the instate hype among the fans. You just had to live there and hear the sports talk shows and hear the Arkansas fans talk. 40K attended the state championship game to see Mustain play. I don't recall that amount of attention given to Mallett.
To me it's the same as top basketball players going to Oak Hill or Montverde Acadamy. They go to face better competition, better coaching, & basically like getting a year headstart on college because it's set up like a college team.Quote:
