Over recruit much

I'm just going to pretend I didn't see this post......

Mom...as usual, I'm with you on this one!

Anybody want to list the school's that over recruit on a regular basis? I'm a westerner so I'll start with ASU. They knowingly over recruit for three reasons. Murphy wants to keep his job, he needs to win and he doesn't always know what the draft and transfer will do to his roster.

There are programs that don't over recruit, but they are usually not in the top 40. Adams at UCLA was a good example. A coach that didn't over recruit, didn't win as often as UCLA fans wanted and placed more players in the pros that just about anyone.

Which coach do you want if you are a father? Which coach do you want if you are a fan?

Is over-recruiting really that common in big D1 programs? Any other notable schools known for this practice? When do these programs try to get verbal committments from their top recruits? Right away after July 1?

Many top 20+ programs overrecruit. They then use the fall as tryout time for the new recruits and returning subs. Often this results in players transferring to "smaller" programs at the suggestion of the coach.

For those who stay the scholarship remains as promised thru that year but is not renewed if the player stays the next year.

Just look at the size of the recruiting class (especially at state schools where the state has scholarship programs for in-state students) and you can get a good idea of who over recruits.

VaDad...or anyone else...

The size of the recruiting class isn't too easy to find is it?

Are there specific schools that anyone would care to post in SC, NC, VA to be aware of.
