It is part of the process. You don't have to like it. I certainly don't. But it's standard policy in today's recruiting world, and our coaches know what they're facing.Quote:

I do believe these coaches know what they are facing and know which of these kids they can trust. I believe they evaluate based on the parent(s).
Blue shirt athlete– The practice of “over-signing” in the sport of NCAA Division I football has been around for a long time. However, until recently, colleges often worked through those over-signings by convincing a high school athlete to start out at a junior college and then transfer later on, or to delay their enrollment for a semester (“gray shirt”).Quote:

The “blue shirt” approach is basically the same as a “gray shirt” with one very significant difference. Whereas a gray shirt athlete is delaying their enrollment at the university until the Spring semester, a “blue shirt” will enroll in the Fall, and attend as a walk-on athlete without a scholarship for at least the first semester.
This will allow them to participate in practices, and perhaps even play in games as a true freshman, and then get a scholarship later on. As a walk-on during at least the first semester, they will postpone counting as an “initial counter” until the following academic year. In addition, if they come in as a non-recruited walk-on, this may present some advantages as well if they will be receiving non-athletic scholarships such as academic scholarships, or legacy scholarships.
IMO, sounds like the guy has a legitimate beef.
If true, it sure sounds like it.Quote:

I will be SO happy when we can post about who we signed-- most of the stuff getting posted right now has zero to do with future of our program ...
