It is 50/50 could be either way I am just saying what it looks like to me and from what I have seen while coaching and dealing with kids. Everyone can have there own opinions.

It doesn't help. Wins, playing time, and sometime education. A "name" will not improve any of those.

When coaching and dealing with kids the goal is to make them have fun. It's not about heart and making things over competitive with kids is what will turn them off the sport. It's very likely that being the son of a HOF player puts unfair expectations on a young person and it is likely that which contributed to him having interests elsewhere. For all we know he could have been begging to be out of football for years and been told by dad, get through high school, get into post secondary and see if you still don't want to do it. If you don't you are free to pursue something else. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt rather than judge someone based on a likely biased news article. Much the same as if someone judged you on one of your posts they could make an assumption about you knowing nothing more about you than what they read in 20 lines of online text.....

It would not help a college like UGA who already has a easy time recruiting players and has not trouble staying in the national spot light but for a college that does not have that it would not hurt to try and pull a stunt like this. I agrre that college like yours and USC would not need to bring in a publicity stunt but some colleges who are trying to play catch up might.

For the years that I have been watching sports, people attend games to watch the star players, not the kids of former star players. The Brewers have Tony Gwynn Jr, and no one goes to the game because we have him. They are there to see Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, or JJ Hardy. No star players say "I want to play for the Brewers because they have Tony Gwynn's son." I dont see it any different in college sports.

I watched Tony Gwynn, Jr. and Prince Fielder play for the same minor league team when they played against the Kane County Cougars by me. They didn't put any extra butts in the seats.

You are all missing my point I am not talking about fans coming to games for it I am talking about a garbage team using it as a tool to try and start getting some air time. I never said anything about the fans. I did say Boosters and I think if a college has a struggling program Booster would liek them to try something like this to try and maybe lay some ground work to turn it around.
Nate Montana also goes to ND

What does it matter? He is the son of a legend. He should be saving that shitty program.

Boosters would like to see top prospects picked, maybe within the top 100. Elway was a 3 star prospect according to rivals, which means he was a top 750 player. And he barely edged that out on his rating. ASU had 28 commitments the year Elway signed on. 18 of them had a higher rivals rating than Elway, and only 2 were worse(one was not rated). I dont think Elway would have created much of a buzz compared to Ryan Bass who had a 2600+ yard rushing and 47 touchdown senior season or Lawrence Guy who is a 6'6" 265 pound defensive tackle who had 115 tackles and 16 sacks his senior year.

Sounds like he could be a bad *** DE.

UGA could use him.
