Not getting stressed about recruiting this season

[moou]

For the first time in years, not letting myself get unraveled about recruiting and flipmas season. I don't read the Dog biscuits, bones, interviews of commitments, possible recruits. I canceled my genes page subscription last year. It was not for me, but I understand why some people love it.
Hearing the term " its a fluid situation", reading about a long term commitment who all of a sudden change to another school, without any analysis or reason from the board just got frustrating and I found myself subconsciously wishing ill will on a 17 year old.
I was more interested in why a player would waffle so much, kinda like Raquon Davis decommiting from bama , pledging to us, then back to bama without much explanation.

Oh well , recruiting is one less worry I have

I’ve never understood why grown men would get worked up about the actions of 17 year olds anyway. I’ve seen way too many Robert Elliot’s not live up to hype and guys like Fitz exceed expectations to worry about recruiting.

Do you honestly

get stressed about it, normally?

Welcome to the club. I quit a few years ago. "Cruiting is a big part of the program but it has changed over the past few years until it is has become a shittastickly, overly-dramatic soap opera and I see no signs of things improving, instead just getting worse.

I have never paid much attention to it. I like to look over the classes once they're signed up, but care nothing about the in between. I understand how important it is, but just am not interested in the process.

I never get stressed about recruiting. Outside of the elite 5* recruits, it's more about their character, work ethic and how they're coached than the stars anyway.

So are you telling me that you don't know who Whop is?*

LOL, why people actually get stressed about recruiting anymore is beyond me. Chris Jones made me stop actively worrying about it, and I haven’t looked back since.

On a separate note, the early signing period is an epic disaster. I thought it might calm down things a bit, but it has done the opposite. Now we just have two drama periods instead of the traditional one. They either need to put it before the season or drop it altogether... Honestly, dropping it altogether is the best thing to do for the players.

Don’t know about y’all but one of my four twitter accounts is solely based for MSU recruiting. That way I can tweet at recruits and their families to get the to commit. I do it all from my parents basement. Just doing anything to help #TheNetwork

I finally quit obsessing in 2001-2002. When Broussard died, Korey Banks turned out to not be Fred Smoot 2.0 and Coco Hodge didn’t pan out, I realized I enjoyed it a lot more if I just watched the recruiting happen half-heartedly without obsessing over things. I figure that come the end of August, I will find out who I get to cheer for each year.
