I presume coaches like to see game film, see what the player does when the play not to him, how does he stay at home as a DE, the things not shown on a highlite reel. Rating services rank from highlite videos and camps. There is a lot more than that before you invite a kid into your family. An OOS player you might offer based on highlites to get in the game. Just guessing, but i am quite sure You Tube film is a food way for a coach to make bad recruiting decisions.

Because Anzalone is an OOS kid. That's how the game works; you offer the OOS kids to gauge interest and then take your time picking and choosing with the in-state kids who you know inherently have you in their top group from the start.

Faulty logic to you, but that's the reality. I'm pretty sure the coaches are experienced at this game of recruiting Mr. Hayes Pullard is a stiff that will never see the field.

I agree that this logic a sound for USC and other top programs, but certainly not every school falls in this category. Truth is, if a kid id good enough he gets an offer immediately. If there are any question, even the slightest doubt it seems like USC waits to offer the kid. I like hos they handle offers. In the end it makes these kids work for top in-state offers. We usually get the lion's share of in-state prospects we go after so it seems to be mutually beneficial.

Again, not to nitpick, but this strategy is not for most schools; USC, Texas, ND, Florida, Bama, Georgia and OSU are in a different class for recruiting.

Not true,Sua Craven had a scholarship offer before most OOSers. There has been numerous others that had scholarship offers before OOSers (Barkely, Woods, DAT, etc.) Faulty logic.

It applies because you posted that it's common practice to offer OOS first before in players from in state. I posted that is not true when it comes to elite players especially in positions of need and pointed out several examples.

Eddie Vanderdoes is generally recognized as an elite talent that is in a position of need (Top DT in California) and we were very late to offer. I think you guys just argue for the sake of arguing.

Sorry bud, you have me mixed up with someone else. Never did I every post Mccarthy would be a trojan or that Kennard was a great mlb. Nice try bud, but its factual that you said Pullard would never see the field and jawanza starling is the worst football player in the nation. Your quotes. I dont know who you believe I am.

Sua', well obviously because they believe he's one of the best players in the nation. Common freaking sense. Why would they not offer a guy they're completely sold on. And its obvious the coaches are/were not completely sold on Vanderdoes. They could care less how he's "generally regarded" by recruiting sites e.g JR Tavai vs Jalen Grimble. 1+1 = 2 Einstein. Do you need me to explain any other simple math problems that you're having?

hahaha, you blasted me when I posted Mccarthy was going to UCLA and Kennard was a bad mlb. But go ahead and backpedal. I never posted Jawanza was the worse player in the nation, completely BS from you as usual. I have man up and posted I was wrong about Pullard. Unlike you, I'm able to admit my mistakes.

Obviously they were wrong about Vanderose, since THEY NOW OFFERED him a scholarship and VERY late compared to many other schools. That was my point. They were very late to offer an elite talent of need. You are just arguing to argue. I've seen other posts where you claimed coaches can be wrong too. Well isn't it possible that they were wrong in this case to offer so late???? No, only because I posted it and you want to contradict me.

2 outliers? LOL Hutchings, Redfield, Justin Davis, Ellis Mccarthy, Shaq Thompson etc were all California kids that had offers very early on. It was all just a fluke and non common practice. LOL

How many OOS kids had offers before any of the guys you mentioned?....crickets.....crickets....please, just stop.

I knew that would be the answer, but if it's a level of competition thing that makes 0 sense with Anzalone.

Not many....crickets... crickets..
