It shows how random the process can be
Son of an ex NFL player
Lights up a future NBA star in a State championship basketball game
Stars in football for 4 years and no program identifies him as a player
Just on genetics and athletic ability you figure some programs would bring him in

He should buy Eli Apple a trip to Disney World
NFL players unloading on Apple and his big mouth.
Does not seem to be a hotbed of talent for the NFL. Someone else noted he was the son of an NFL player. Also a grandson of an NFL player.
Other famous athletes from Yakima are Mel Stottlemyre (and his kids) and several retired NFL players.
LOL'ed at someone already patching Apple's wikipedia saying he's the son of Annie Apple and Cooper Kupp.
Apple deserves all the stuff he’s getting. He talks **** about so many players and fans. His own teammates don’t even like him I read. His mom is a head case too. She blocked Art Stapleton a Giants reporter lol
Interesting article on Deadspin about this (link below)
Quote from article
He’s from Yakima, Wash., a town way more fun to pronounce than to actually drive to. It’s more than two hours southeast of Seattle. You don’t accidentally end up in Yakima. And Kupp wasn’t undeniable enough on film to get the chartered planes from bigger schools to touch down in his part of the world.
Deadspin
Not compared to the western part of the state in the Seattle metro area. It’s a decent sized town but in a relatively rural area with a lot of farmland.
Hopefully he's opening up more opportunities for other White players who have been shunned from certain positions. He's clearly the best WR in the league. #Equity
Yes Cupp has an amazing story and background. However, that tweet shows Cupp is the exception that proves the rule.
Do we really want HC Schiano to start recruiting zero star/zero offer WRs and stop worrying about those pesky "stars"?
How many other zero star/zero offer WRs were postseason heros?

Alternatively, I'll play the odds and still value "stars".

This guy would’ve been cursed out by some in this group because he had no stars… An Ash- Culo… Doesn’t deserve the time of day here.
That’s why if he has the B1G talent, you don’t turn away Jersey Talent.
This was one pair who I was glad the Giants got rid of.
Of course this was the year the Giants could’ve gotten Laremi Tunsil, AShon Robinson, Derrick Henry, Keanu Neal, Shaq Lawson, among others instead of Apple. So the Giants deserved whatever they got lol.
You may be right. But there are instances that he went after the Big North 4/5 star player hard who didn’t want to go to Rutgers while ignoring a 2/3 star player from a program that’s not in the Big North who wound up in the SEC.
The evil cabal of racist black position coaches at all levels of football let him slip through their clutches.
Credit should be given to Mike Mayock for calling him “special” even after his slow 40 time, because he did excel at all the WR skills drills at the combine.
Jerry Rice supposedly ran a 4.6 40 too, but did anyone ever see him get caught from behind?
Stars don't mean everything, but they don't mean nothing.
It happens all the time. Victor Cruz went to Monmouth.
So did Chris Hogan. He spent three years on PSU campus and they still missed him.
We get it, you’re a racist.
Someone needs to send this trash back to the CE board.
Why? Race is of the utmost importance now. It's important to have discussions that might make you uncomfortable.
Racial engineering is racist? Do you feel that way all the time or only now in this instance?
and I think his sister ran track at Rutgers.
Also, it was either him or Cruz that Rutgers was on the fence about offering our last slot and we gave it to one of the McCourtney twins so.......
I agree but that does not mean a program should not analyze why
Kenny Jackson’s brother and I believe Troy Hills cousin Roger was missed until someone saw him in basketball game
Cruz went to UMASS I believe but your point is accurate
every coach who wants to remain a coach is analyzing this stuff every cycle. End of the day, state of Washington is almost 10x's bigger than NJ and a lot of places aren't easy to get to.
I am going on record now that I would take a chance on Cooper Krupp’s kid
