Here's a great (all be it hyper-cynical) look at recruiting to add a little perspective a week before NLOI signing day:

I gotta say I agree with a lot of what he says, but even if you don't it's still funny. I thought about posting on the recruiting board, but then thought better of it.

I love the ending:
As “Signing Day” approaches (February 2), remember the cardinal rule … How many “stars” a recruit has only matters if he signs with your school. All highly rated prospects who sign with a rival are OVERRATED. Low rated prospects who sign with your school have ENORMOUS POTENTIAL. And EVERY COACH is "excited about this group of outstanding young men blah blah blah..."

Recruiting is to college athletics what a prostate exam is to an annual physical. Otherwise legitimate academic institutions grab their ankles and take it up the butt for Saturday Braggin' Rights.

MODS: Feel free to move this if it belongs elsewhere...
