when you recruit players to play defence. 'D'-recruiting. As opposed to 'O'-recruiting for offense. I'm not sure if you are serious or I am being trolled here...
When O-Recruting, you need to wear your "O"-face. O skill players are all about the sexiness of the position. When D-Recruting, you need your De-face. They love to wreck things.
And yes, that hurt even me to do it.
I'm assuming that it refers to the fact that you've talked up the school so much and the players are now going to have reality hit them pretty hard. Basically, you have to de-recruit them to get them adjusted to reality.
The recruits hit campus with everyone in their ear telling them how great they are and that they are the best player in their state or in the nation at their position.
When they get to campus they are just another freshman trying to earn playing time against a bunch of guys with more expeience who are bigger and stronger. As you might imagine, it's a tough transition for some kids.
"To dream the unpossible dream".
and it has to do with the recruiting of dee hart... it's a sad tale of woe with a cast of sordid characters from Michigan's darker days.
It's a cause and effect scenario. Sometimes you recruit an individual and they might commit to your program. In some cases, said recruit unfortunately decommits, forcing you into the process of de-recruiting. Otherwise known as un-recruiting.
This is funny but I actually think you are being serious!
It can become a nasty situation. Those who are pro de-recruiter sometimes refer to the decommit as The Anti-Commit, whereas those that are pro de-commit refer to the de-recruiting parties as malrecruiters!
Now I know you're being serious!
Is should the Anti-Commit come into contact with a normal Commit they will annihilate each other and release a spectacular amount of energy that will destroy everything within several light years of this planet. Beware.
... there are two sides to every Schwartz.
Step 1: Recruiting
Step 2: Signing
Yaaaaayyyy!
Step 3: De-Recruiting
sounds just like raising kids. Tell them they are wonderful & that they can do anything, then once they start biting, hitting & breaking stuff you yell NO! NO! NO!
have to do when their recruiting classes needs paring down to meet the limit?
"Son, I know I said Alabama was the place for you, but turns out I was wrong. Get the fuck outta here."
He's making a strong push to be the leader of that pack. Texas A&M has eight WR commits for 2013 right now per Scout.
Did someone decommit, because they had 9 just a couple days ago
A&M loses 4 WRs to graduation. With the air-raid offense deploying 4-5 WRs per play and A&M running the hurry-up, they need about 10 contributers per game.
a hurry up offense outside of the 2 minute drill but it seems to me that it would be great for padding the stat sheets, hard to stand out...and a pain in the azz to learn.
As a recruit assuming it's not what you learned in HS, what's the advantage to Hurry Up?
Either I'm too old and the youth today don't know this joke, but how can there be this many comments said without a deeez nuts reference? This topic is the perfect set up for it.
Today, or 20 years ago. There's your reason.
Because we were talking about dozzzz ones, not deeeeez ones...
Obviously I'm way older than you—what the hell is "deez nuts?"

It was just a joke set-up in the '90s that allowed people (excusively teenage boys?) to make testicle jokes.
I'm pretty sure Dr. Dre and Daz were well into their 20s by the time The Chronic came out.
[Edited by Everyone Murders - YouTube link deleted, as my sense of discretion came into play. The point was that there is a well-known intro on Dr. Dre's The Chronic that made a famous Deeez Nutz joke, which seemed to spark a lot of them. Google it if curious (it's called Deeez Nuuuts), but it's unsurprisingly a tad sexist, profane, and racially-charged.]
Me: "Hey Don, you ever see these before?"
You: "These what?"
Me: "DEEEZZ NUTSSS"
any set up to get you to say "These what?"
I too am getting up there (40's , not in your wheel house yet I know) but that’s how I remember it.
EDIT: What Eric from Dayton said^^. Also remember making the "Ok" sign with your hand, putting down around your crotch and trying to get people to look at it then hitting them if they did.
It is a Spanish expression. Means "from recruiting"
Actually it's"The D" recruiting and refers to recruiting players from Detroit.
That's when you recruit kids with great physical gifts who have trouble maintaining a D average in high school, and may need a year of prep school before they can qualify. It's the opposite of A-recruiting, which is what the Ivies do.
this thread confuses me
Good answer, may also wish to throw in trying to keep a desired recruit by talking them into a “preferred walk-on” role rather than going to another school.
But generally believe it’s just someone trying to throw a term on the process Seth has outlined. Now come the rigors instead of the ballyhoo.
What Tom Izzo does these days to 5 Stars he has "in the bag" so that they don't let current 5 Stars form the same state look bad. Also, what Dantonio does to local recruits, to make room for the hyper galactic visitors.
recruiting a player with a D average.
