We'll see.

State isn't even amongst the finalists for any of these recruits. I get that you're a BC fan and have no idea how elite recruiting works in any sport. Stick to complaining about the ex you beat in front of the kids.

I'll grant you that BC has struggled landing elite recruits (pretty much since Tom O'Brien left.) Last year's class (the first with Hafley) is probably the best class we've had since 2006. But that is not saying much. So yeah I'll grant you that DS.

But what I have learned about watching "recruiting" for college football players for the last 25 years is that, there is no real science to this. Its a sales pitch, that's it. Nick Saban is a salesman, gifted in "fast-talk." What are you "selling?" What is UNC "selling" to the elite recruits the NC-State isn't? I think that is the difference.

I have no idea how good a recruiter Doreen is or if he has landed the occasional 4-star at NC-State. I consider pretty much all 4-stars and 5-stars to be elite. That said DS, Matt Ryan at BC, you know how good he was. He was just a 3-star. So, sometimes (oftentimes) its a craps shoot.

Mack Brown could sell shit to a pig farmer, you dolt.

You know as much about football and recruiting as you do about respecting women, you low rent Ike Turner cocksucker.

Kyler Murray is better than at least half of this list.

Matthew Stafford probably will be as well.

I'm shocked anyone could think that unless you think some of the older guys on the list of 8 are just going to start losing their edge like Brees did last year.

Bishop Sycamore made national headlines when it was blown out 58-0 by IMG Academy, a Florida-based football powerhouse.

The exhibition game was nationally televised on ESPN over the weekend as part of the network's weeklong high school football showcase.

Bishop Sycamore apparently touted that it had several "highly-recruited prospects," but none of them were on the team's roster, several media outlets report, accusing the program of potentially lying to appear on national television.

The program claims it is based in Columbus, Ohio, but it is not affiliated with the Ohio High School Athletic Association. The Department of Education lists no charter school with its name.

Questions were rained during the game about player safety. Now, more questions are being raised about the program's legitimacy, even by the state's governor.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine released a statement Tuesday afternoon, calling upon the Ohio Department of Education to investigate.

“Like many Ohioans, I am concerned by the recent reports and questions raised about Bishop Sycamore. While this weekend’s football game brought concerns about the health and safety of players, it also raised red flags about the school’s operations. Schools like Bishop Sycamore have an obligation under Ohio law to meet certain minimum standards. Whether Bishop Sycamore meets these standards is not clear.
