I tend not to follow recruiting very much, I figure the coaches will deal with it.  Something will pop out on FB when they get a commit, OK fine, maybe he'll sign, maybe he'll be good, maybe whatever.  As some here opined, recruiting today is "almost meaningless".

I wouldn't go that far of course.  It means something pretty substantial I think, it obviously is not quite a singular as once it was.

I  gather De Bore is holding up this end pretty well.

Rutgers and Wisconsin are high because of volume. Both classes are nearly full.

247 rankings are based on a combination of volume and quality. As of today, UW has only four 4* players on 247 (five on Rivals). UW has 21 commitments.

OSU also has 21 commits. Three 5* and 14 4*.

Big difference.

Here are the ratings (247) by average player rankings.

Schiano is doing a good job of keeping those 4* NJ kids home.

I really really don't understand the US cities ranking, but whatever.  

If I were talking about larger cities, I'd include San Diego at least, and probably Salt Lake City, and Columbus, Ohio.  I'd put in Boston and Atlanta, OK there.  What about Tampa?  I haven't spent much time there.

Nashville?

Ft. Worth?

Albequerque?

From the one week I’ve been there, the Tampa area seemed better than Tampa itself. Not bad, but I’d take St Pete’s over it.

Nashville it’s a little too congested for its own good. And it’s best known area is kind of bad. Elsewhere are some pretty good spots.

Isn’t Fort Worth just more Dallas?

I'm no water carrier for TX but Fort Worth should never be described as more Dallas, or anything like Dallas.

Personally, I like Ft Worth and the people there will tell you straight up, that they ain't Dallas.

Yeah, Tampa isn't great, but Tampa adjacent is.


Would anyone honestly rather live in Chicago than Miami?  Huh??

We traveled around the US looking for places to retire and considered a few fairly seriously, including Las Vegas.  My wife wanted hot weather, so that narrowed things down a lot.  I wanted low taxes.  But a place to retire is of course different from a place to raise a family, or be a young couple, etc.

Minneaspolic seemed decent the two times I was there.

Houston seemed like one enormous strip mall outside downtown.

May I request an education in the differences? (I fully cop that my only Fort Worth experience was leaving DFW and driving right to a barbecue restaurant, eating there and then driving out of town)
