Shearer,
Part of the reason that all of the best players don't go out for odp are because of people such as yourself who do nothing but blast the program and obviously know nothing about it. If you don't have a kid who has tried out and/or if you are not a coach/administrator in the program, then how do you know so much about it to be able to condemn it?
What other college coaches' sons are on odp teams?Which ones are overrated?
Why do you claim that Van Taylor has overlooked the SC kids? Have you spoken to him regarding recruiting? Have you been involved in that process with him? For you to say that any kid is as good as another kid is simply your opinion. If you are not "qualified" to assess players and their abilities, then your opinion is really irrelevant.
You obviously don't know that ncaa dvision 2 rules on player age limits do you? The days of these schools signing players over the age of 21 are pretty much over and have been since 2001-2002. I am pretty sure that since then, any player over the traditional college entrance age is limited in terms of his eligibility. If a 20 year old chooses to play for Lander, he would only have 1-2 years of eligibility. I could be wrong, but I am almost positive that this is the case. Therefore, it is much more difficult to sign older players now. Here lately, uscupstate, lander, etc. have signed numerous sc kids as well as kids of traditional age. I guess you would have no problem with coach taylor signing a 36 year old south carolinian?
