Yes you do understand…probably more than most of us because you know recruiting.

Most of them have backgrounds that run contrary to that train of thought. And for the most part, it ain’t their fault. They’ve been told since they were in junior high (if not earlier) that they are God’s gift to football and never had to bide their time and develop.

Again, it ain’t their fault imho. The adults should have taught them such way earlier in their lives. Some have but they seem rare.

That’s why I said it wasn’t the kids fault.. at least the majority of the time. Family or others in their inner circle enable and even promote such. Hell, I’d say youth league, junior high and high school coaches can also be to blame. Many don’t have the balls to and/or understand that kids should be corrected sooner rather than later. JMO

I know, I know, I sound like a “get off my lawn” old fashioned grump.

Yep. I knew it earlier but had it solidified in my brain in the 2nd grade. I watched my grade teacher lay my friend Tommy over her lap and whipped him for what seemed like an eternity. As the class sat in silence with eyes wide open, I asked my other friend Steven what Tommy had done to deserve such punishment. His response with terrified eyes was, "I don't know but I'm not going to do it." He didn't have to experience it to know what NOT to do. Neither did I.
