Another thing I look at when SB signs an athlete is if he or she
are getting multiple offers.. For example.. Carbone had 0
offers coming out of high school... That should be a red flag..
I know it is not easy pulling athletes away from bigger schools,
but in order to be competitive, you must
[/quote]
Agreed but it can be difficult to find out how many offers kids
have, and some kids aren't always truthful about what schools
are recruiting them. With football recruits, I like to see the
highlights more than anything else.

A coach once told at some football high school game years ago,
He never watches highlight tape. If he has an athlete in mind he
will watch as many live games as possible to find the good and
bad in the kid.. I agree with his statement.
My son plays football for WM and he only puts up his best plays,
never his bad ..

So far I dont see any local, Long Island kids signing.. A kid
from West Hampton high school just signed with NH.

Probably because of our recruiting tactic of signing out of
state kids then making local kids "walk-on." As long as we have
a solid class at the end of the day I'm fine with it. We were I
think 20th in the FCS last year which could be better, but is
still really good. We already have the talent to compete with
anyone. Hopefully these QB commits pan out as that's the
position where we've had a very hard time getting and developing
talent.

I think the new signing period is great for schools like SBU
The 11 players that will sign today were on a lot of FBS schools
radar especially as preferred walk-ons so now they can
concentrate od other players for the February 07 signing day
This early group of signees included many very good skill
position guys so I'm very happy
As far as LI players expect about 8 preferred walk-ons and maybe
2 scholarship kids in February

Totally agree with the QB issue. I have a huge issue with the
"Walk-on" crap with our local kids! You have no idea how that
pisses me off especially when my boy plays Varsity football and
he hears other high school athletes talking bad about SB policy,
tactis or whatever they call it..

Here is the problem with the LI HS Football players from an SBU
stand point from February through July every year is the
evaluation period and when the LI players go up against the City
kids and out of state kids they don't grade out well weather it
be their HT, Speed, Competitiveness, ETC or they don't do any
camps at all so the player has got to do a better job. Until
other CAA schools or FBS schools offer these kids SBU is going
to continue to not offer a scholarship but rather ask them to
walk-on that's is the reality of recruiting on LI. By the way
having said this there will probably be around 6-12 players who
will get money from FCS/FBS schools for the 2018 Class so
players on LI have a choice walk on at SBU or another FCS school
or go DII and maybe get some money

I've heard coaches want to see high light reels because they
want to see what the player is capable of. After that they'll
have the players send some actual game tape.

I have mentioned this before. Using preferred walk-ons is a tool
used by all schools. It allows you to bring in a bigger class
without counting against your scholly limit. The reason that
local kids are brought in as preferred walk-ons is that they
qualify for state money ( grants, aid, etc ). A preferred walk
on can be givenba scholly at anytime but they will usually earn
them after their second yr in the program. If they are offered
the scholly before the 2nd yr is up then that will count against
the scholarship limit from the original class yr. Some preferred
walk ons qualify for full financial aid. This is not a bad
thing. This is how Liotine earned a scholarship.

Just to add to this. SB offers top LI and in state players
scholarships, examples Bedell, Gowins, Haggert. Its up to the
player to except. Dalton Crossan was offered a full but chose
UNH instead. It worked out pretty well for him. U just cant
control that.
