Covington Catholic?I coached high school for 23 years in Northern Kentucky. I had 22 players go division 1 and these kids a lot of times are not stable enough to make the best decision by there selves and a lot of the time that's how it is.
You know, it's easy to sit and think of it that way but there is soooo much more that goes into recruiting. It's not all about who offers you it's a lot more about how comfortable are you with the coaches, how would you enjoy living in the towns of the schools recruiting you, what is there to do outside of football. That's just a few examples. A lot of us would be surprised at what attracts 18 year old kids to different schools. I'll tell you this though, when coach Diaco looks you in the eyes and tells you he wants you to be a Connecticut Husky, he's a hard guy to turn down.
No. How do you know that BD is such a hard guy to turn down?I coached high school for 23 years in Northern Kentucky. I had 22 players go division 1 and these kids a lot of times are not stable enough to make the best decision by there selves and a lot of the time that's how it is.
As written, there's not nearly enough information above to make the decision. There has never been a college decision based only on these factors alone.
- You have offers from UConn, 2 upper level MAC teams, and 1lower level P5 team. Where do you go? Why?
Do I love football more than math?Do I want to play close to home?
Can my parents make my games if I choose X?
Does the school offer my interested major?
Can I play right away?
Will I be redshirted?
These are just a few questions -
Oh, and do I like the Helmet and Uniforms?

He could be differnt now for all I know but when he was younger he wasn't trying to drive to Kentucky without getting a commitment.

Do it, it's a better place without his nonsense.So now Coach is being accused of Asperger's Syndrome?!?! Chap almost became my first ignore.
Lets face it, everyone wants to be drafted into the NFL and make millions. Anyone can get drafted from any school as long as you are good, doesn't matter on the school. NFL Scouts are everywhere and recognize talent if you go to Central Michigan or Michigan. If those are my choices, I'd look at the coaching staff and their ability to send players to the pros, and their coaching style. I believe Coach Diaco and his coaching staff have that ability and that's one of the main reasons Kevin Murphy is coming here as opposed to a P5.
Examples of high profile non P5 players:
Michael Strahan-Texas Southern - played one year of HS football in the U.S
Victor Crus-UMass - terrible academics and kicked out of umass a few times
Eric Fisher-Central Michigan - might actually be a good example. purdue seemed to be the "big name" college after him. didnt find any bad press on him except he was on the light side.
Randy Moss-Marshall - recruited by notre dame then FSU, settled on Marshall because they were DII at the time so he could play immediatly
