The blessings keep coming. Had another former QB ball out this week and win MAC Offensive Player of the Week. I’m proud of you Keldric and happy you’re finally getting your chance. Keep ballin! All love Drip!

Interesting fact: A high school football game has 48 minutes on the clock. But a study found the average play lasts just 5.6 seconds. At 130 plays, that’s roughly 12 minutes of actual action between BOTH teams. Months in the weight room. Summer heat. Film. Practice. All for opportunities measured in literal seconds. And you don’t know which 5.6 seconds will decide the game. That backside block you took off? The pursuit you cut short because somebody else would get him? That might’ve been it.

Parents- Invest in development, not “exposure” Develop meaningful relationships with your high schools coaches and other people in your football community who can give you feedback. Any attention that is worth getting and will drive recruitment comes from making plays on tape

Per sources, over 500 high school head coaches are now actively discussing banning and trespassing all @Rivals and @On3 employees from their school campus, and more are expected to join given the revelation that writers make commission on paid player evaluations. @ShannonTerry brilliant move

Plenty of people have expressed their opinions on this, but what do actual college decision-makers think? Here are 3 quotes from current general managers in college football.  P4 GM: "Exposure has never been easier.  College summer camps, summer combines/camps, increased unofficial visits, larger game day visits, easy access to putting your film online (HUDL).  Most kids that aren’t being recruited by the schools they want to be isn’t a visibility issue; it’s a talent issue.  High School families don’t need to be paying to get evaluated.  They should start with their HS coaches and find out how to become a better football player."  P4 GM: "They’re just trying to make money on the dreams of the players who wouldn’t get recruited anyway. Are there now more spots for FBS teams to take players? No. They’ll just rank more players who paid for it, but the opportunities don’t expand. The number of scholarships given out by programs remains the same. Excited for the meltdown because On3 is a market driver for NIL and this opens the door for families to pay them to rank them higher for more NIL."  G5 GM: "To me, it's all stupid. Anybody who's paying for these rankings or evaluations is already in the wrong. The priority should just be to be a really good high school football player, and you're going to be recruited, and you're going to get ranked.
 "Are these parents even going to listen when they get a rating back that says they're an FCS-level player? Probably not. They'll probably just spend more money trying to change what they are. They'll keep spending money on things until they get the answer they want to hear, but the film isn't going to change from Friday nights."

This is the head of Rivals/On3 defending the practice of charging high school players for ranking consideration. Or it's Claude or ChatGPT defending that practice. Not sure
