Recruiting

[Mad Hatter]

I was just on the DMN recruiting page, and the #88 recruit in the Local Top 100 is a 6'3" 334lb OL from Plano (East?). He has no schools listed. He runs a 5.3 40. What would be the reason to have no one going after this kid? Why wouldn't we? If he had grade issues would that keep everyone away?

Maybe ol' PHS Coach could enlighten us all.

He broke his fibula at the beginning of the season against North Mesquite. Could be reason why no schools listed.

In the past some 20-25% of the area 100 do not make the NCAA grade requirement to go to a D-1 school.

This does not say his grades are a problem but a large number of kids do not make because of grades.

That is really sad. Long list of faults here.

Those that have grade problems have listed 'junior colleges' in the past.

I do have a problem with the selections. Some that have been offensive and defensive players of the week aren't mentioned even if they are unanimous all-district choices and have the size and speed to play in college.

If you'll notice on Rivals and TexasPrep, some don't mention any colleges. Reading between the lines that means they're open to any Division 1A (maybe even 1AA) offers. But, they are unrated. We need some of those rated 5.3 and above if this program is really improve.
