Was reading up on some Michigan recruiting news -- I simply don't understand why these recruits put out these "Top "fill in the blank" List". The one kid Michigan made the top list for -- He put out of list of his top 15 schools?!?!?! WTF? 15 schools? He must really be bored if he wants 15 schools to keep contacting him.

I mean, you found him because he had your school on the list right? That's the point of it all, to get attention.

Yeah -- but it has to be absolutely ridiculous to try and juggle 15 different teams contacting him. If you are going to put out a list -- make it 5,6,7. You only get a handful of visits. So he is going to be 10 extra teams contacting him he has no real interest in going to.

I am not up to speed on the recruiting stuff, if he has them on his list does that mean he is talking to them? Or does it mean he has, or wants, an official or unofficial visit?

I also don't get all the signing day "three hats on a table" shit, but I'm quickly moving into boomer category I guess.

Right there with you

It means it is 15 schools that has offered him and that he says still has a chance to sign him, so all 15 will continue to contact him, as well as any other school who thinks they could sway him.

That'd be an absolute headache to deal with.

More bidders in the auction, the higher the price goes.

Maybe, but think about it this way, if you had the chance to get 5 or 15 businesses competing for your services which one are you going to take? In the age of NIL college athletes can definitely think this way

Like @fordman84 and @PeoplesChicken, I ain't up to speed on all the crootin' stuff either. (And I'm already solidly in the "Get off my lawn Boomer" category.)

But from what I understand, a portion of recruiting is where the schools and players play this game or dance with each other. Schools keep stringing some along in case the one(s) they really want at that position stiffs them and signs somewhere else. The old, we'll take you home if we can't get that better looking chick to go with us. "The girls all get prettier at closing time." And the players do somewhat the same.

I seen guys put out top 3, top 4, top 5, even top 10. But that is the first time i've ever seen a top 15. At that point -- you may as well just say everyone who offered has a shot.

Is Tennessee in that 15 team group?

No?

Good, did not want..

Now he is getting payments from 15 schools instead of 5.

This has been going on for 5-10 years.. most of the time it's players who are sophomore or juniors who pretty much list every school with an offer.. This is no big thing. If it bothers you..maybe recruiting isn't for you

As I said -- I've seen the top 3, top 4, top 5, even top 10. Listing top 15 seems pointless to me and it was the first time i've seen someone do that.

Good chance you are. He basically put every team in the top 20 -- so I'm sure Tennessee was on there.

Playing it up for his friends, and everyone else gets to go along for the ride I assume.
