Providing such a service to a recruit’s family would probably be a violation.
Just started the process with my kid (at a much lower level) and importance of distance mostly only matters to Mom and if Kid can see themselves truly happy somewhere, distance becomes a greatly diminished factor.
Location factors in about at about 15% of the decision. Case in point: CSU-Pueblo pulls quality athletes. That town, campus, and community is an absolute hell hole.
I believe Babar meant that the agent would work with current players not with recruits so I doubt that would be a violation if they did not work with the recruits family. They could probably work with the recruits family if that service was provided at a cost however but with the NCAA who knows.
The single most correlated factor when trying to figure out where a prospect will sign is location (i.e., local school has the advantage). But it's not as strong of a correlation as a lot of people seem to think it is. It's an advantage, usually. It always gets you into the living room to recruit. However, relationship built with coaches, prestige (school & conference), NFL player development, winning, and sometimes academics can be more important for any individual. Taken together, a significant advantage (at least in the recruit's perception of things) on those other factors will almost always top the home field advantage. Case in point -- how every program in the country dreads Stanford recruiting someone in their backyard.
I can't read it, but is UW even mentioned, or is HUFset just assuming due to the picture? Odd picture choice by Gorney
I can't read it either. I made the conjecture from the picture and when you go to the Rivals site there is an animated caption when hovering over the article/picture that states this. Then when you click through to the link the preview has the UW picture but the caption that is barely visible says PSU, CU and LSU. The 24hr rule will provide a better update I suppose.
Don't ruin objective just like literally
Those peckerwoods are going to feel silly when he flips to the Buffs in five months.
Going from Colorado to southern Louisiana is going to be a cultural shock.
With how talented Co preps were this year, our in-state results have been very disappointing. I guess that’s the in state perception of our program, that needs to change and only will with winning.
