How many #1 players in the country want to be playing Xbox tonight instead of being on National TV on a huge stage?

 

I am telling you that their reasons are more personal than playoffs.

So if your son had a chance to play for two HOF coaches, win a National title, get a ton of draft exposure or stay home and maybe go to 1 or 2 ancillary bowl games, what would you tell him?

It wouldn't be my decision. That's what I'm telling you. It's more personal in priorities for the kid. Kids get drafted from UK. If you can play you'll get your shot.

The kid who made the catch (Thomas) is Keyshawn's nephew.

For some, yes. For others, no. Speaking on why any kid makes the decision they do in generalities is misguided...

RBs are falling deeper in drafts.. Saban made Trent Richardson who? look like Jim Brown.

I am not speaking in generalities. I'm speaking from observation. Kids who are offered by the perennial contenders still pick other schools instead of those most likely to get to the championship. That should tell us that championships are not a priority.

Is there something unique about the state of KY?

Put bogus ranking system aside. Those programs don't recruit rankings. How many of those are we considering "elite" at this point? How many had Bama/Oregon/FSU/Ohio State level offers. That tells the real tale. Elam is the only one that fits from your list IMO...

I'm with Mountain Ref' date=' he will just be another RB on the roster. Just hope he gets his degree and makes the most out of his education. Don't think Football is his future.[/quote']

 

LOL

Didn't Quick pick UL over both OSU and the Ducks?

 

Hatcher had a Bama offer.
