[gkIrish]

So some info last night from Loy. Alize is no longer following any of the UCLA coaches on twitter. He also changed his twitter handle from @therealhybrid (which is the nickname UCLA coaches gave him) to @alizejones8. Lastly, Loy believes that he doesn't take any more visits and never steps foot on UCLA's campus again.

Bout to have me one of these for lunch

GET IT? CUZ IT'S A WRAP!!

Could you argue that he developed Coby Fleener? Also Zach Ertz for 2 years? Fleener was a 3 star the #40 TE coming out of HS, and he played in my old schools conference and you rarely heard about him, as compared to Weishar you heard about him all the time as a TE. Niklas was #221 4 star coming out of high school. So if you look at stats below you would say that a lower rated player was developed more by Stanford than Niklas to your argument.

Fleener Stanford Stats
Rec 96
Yards 1543
TDs 18

Niklas
Rec 37
Yards 573
TDs 6

Let's not forget he had Luck throwing him the ball his last 3 years.

Actually it's a silly comparison given that Fleener was a 4 year TE at Stanford. Niklas played one year at LB, then moved to TE as backup to Eifert and then one year as starting TE.

The argument was that Harbaugh hadn't developed any TE at Stanford.. i would disagree by Fleeners stats, where he ranked out of HS, and where he is playing this weekend.

OK I would agree with you on that.

I guess I'm in the minority, but it doesn't bother me. Mora is a salesman stretching, but he is doing his job: selling his program/style/plan.

The parents and kids (and other coaches to some degree) have to have some accountability to be able to decipher through the BS.

Disclaimer - I can't see the pictures, but sounds like Mora's selling a 3.25 year academic schedule, a future AA, and a CFB championship. I don't have a problem with that. It's the parents and kids job to realize what's realistic and what's a dream.

I'm with you man. Seems silly to a bunch of grown ass adults but to a kid, its brilliant IMO. This is recruiting. Everybody gets recruited differently and you do what you think is the best fit for someone's personality.

Zero problems with it.

What's the point of that? Do kids really eat that up? I'd rather you convince me the school will actually better my life, not tell me some fairy tale, futuristic biography. Maybe it's because I'm not 18, but I just think that whole thing is stupid and waste of time.

More than eat it up... they expect it. Recruiting is a copycat process. Look at every kid 'choosing a hat' and saying, "I'll be taking my talents to _____". If a program isn't doing something to creatively differentiate itself from the rest it's probably viewed as apathy.

Yeeesh that is the most cheesiest/cringeworthy thing I have seen in a while.

That's not even close. In the early 80's, St Louis U sent me an STL Post-Dispatch newspaper with the Headline, "_______ sends the Billikins to Sweet 16". Pretty cool but I found out later from some guys I knew from the camp circuit that I wasn't exactly the only one.

The most outstanding thing I ever saw was Jim Valvano hired Gary Bender and Billy Packer to re-announce the '83 Championship final play with my best friends name in place of Derrick Wittenburg's during his recruitment.

If Kelly wants to make print outs of a 3 year grad plan, talk about ROI, grad %, #1 school business school in the country, winning a title, and being an AA at TEU, I'd encourage it.

They are. And there are some creative fluff pieces going out in those pots of gold. It's just the nature of the beast.

I used to hand write letters to recruits for hours and hours a day so it just wasn't another form letter my targets were receiving.

I think this effort by UCLA is more par for the course than anything outside the box though I doubt it matters to Clark that the spelling was just a wee bit off.
