I've seen USM/Tulane/Troy/UCF/WKU recruit a 3 star for 6 months, then a Penn State, TCU or Oregon comes in and the kid immediately becomes a 4 star...same thing with a 2 star!
Conversely, many times when a 3 star defies the prognosticators and signs with a less known school, he suddenly becomes a 2 star (Keon Howard for example....which may be a bad example since he is playing like a 1 star!)
Also, kids at smaller, less recognizable schools are almost always 2 stars, unless a Bama, Clemson or Ohio State comes calling.
We prolly should give poor ol' FAU a pass, since they are new at this 'cruitin' stuff and believe everything they read!
People that hate the star talks are the schools that never really recruit well.
sure, if you say so!
(we've had 200 players in the pros, 2 HOF'ers, 6 conference championships, beaten dozens of top 25 teams including FSU, Alabama, LSU and Auburn...while FAU has had maybe a couple of players drafted, 1 conference championship and purty much nothing else....but what do WE know?)
It’s amazing what you can do with 100 year head start.
I remember posting how USM fans should post how they beat some school 20 years ago when you getting beat like a drum by FSU.
I need to let know somthing, no one cares who you beat 10, 15 20 years ago.
My memory of USM is getting your teeth kicked in a bowl game.
Up your athletic budget, hire more high profile coaches, etc and help raise the profile of this conference.
FUA is the shat!
