So I'm watching the beginning of the recruiting marathon on ESPNU, and the NFL style production is just way over the top. They have their #1 rated player, Mario Edwards, in studio, and they're promoting this kid like he's about to take the podium and shake Roger Goodell's hand...the set complete with large plasma screens, the kids bio, measurables, etc,...
These are high school kids, right?

Moral of the story: Don't hack into your local cable feed.

Thank you, Kirk Herbstreit! And you're right...ESPN is responsible for the direction that recruiting has taken.
