Info Recap: TomVH
Also, unrelated to this, for those of you that don't know, I recently started a company called, U Recruit, www.recruitforu.com . We will guide kids through the recruiting process, and help them get scholarships. We have about 6 athletes we're helping right now, and are trying to spread the word. Take a look at our site, and pass on the information to anyone you think we could help.

My son is 3, and he has pretty poor pad level despite being about 3 feet tall.
Any advice?
February 1st, 2010 at 1:28 PM ^
how what's his stumpy leg:grit ratio?
February 1st, 2010 at 1:52 PM ^
He should be fine, as long as he doesn't have poor footwork or an unconventional delivery.
Also: how is his motor?

A three foot tall 3 year old?! Hmmm....
February 1st, 2010 at 4:58 PM ^
I give that 5 FAKES out of 5 on height. Have him start working on his outside range and maybe Beilein could use him in the class of 2024.
Now, if his 40 time is good, I wouldn't worry too much on his pad level.
As Valenti would say: MAKE PLAYS!!
That's my advice. Good luck.

Yikes, that would be really small considering my son is 18 months and clocks in at 34" tall. He can throw about a 6-7 yard pass with his Elmo football.
February 1st, 2010 at 2:42 PM ^
I can't seem to find him on facebook, help please.
February 1st, 2010 at 2:48 PM ^
Have you told him to Fuck. Shit. Up.?
That might help.

What's a good grit to whiteness ratio?
Ginger American = 10 grit points
Normal Pale = 8 grit points
Darker complexion = 5 or fewer
February 1st, 2010 at 4:38 PM ^
Ginger Americans can get up to 15 points if they have telegenic parents (and flex their muscles after running over a smaller player).

Board drills.
Put a stuffed animal on one side of the dining room table, line him up on the other, and then have him run under the table and knock the stuffing out of the stuffed animal.

Tom, I saw your new site. Good luck! I think its a great idea.
If you need any help with the development (Drupal/html/css/jquery) of it, let me know.
February 1st, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
Thank you. I actually might need some help in the near future. We're talking with a few other companies, and developing some new ideas to move forward with, so I'll let you know.

Tom great idea. One thing that bothered me about the site though: I, a nobody, can go on there are get some HS kid's contact information. Shouldn't / will you limit that kind of information to members (i.e. registered coaches) of the site?
February 1st, 2010 at 7:52 PM ^
Tom, feel free to hit me up either here (i might not see it...), my contact form, or twitter.
February 1st, 2010 at 4:22 PM ^
Tom, have you considered making a recruit's phone number and email address viewable only to registered coaches or athletes? It seems like posting that stuff to the mercy of the internets, especially when zealous fans become bitter about a recruit's choice, could cause headaches.
February 1st, 2010 at 4:29 PM ^
Great work. Now can you please ask the NCAA to cancel Tuesday and make tomorrow Wednesday? K Thx.

The neck and neck between USC, FSU and Michigan for Dorsey is kind of surprising. I haven't seen anyone (with inside info, at least) give UM any better than a "maybe he'll surprise people" kind of chance.
Thanks as always, Tom.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:03 PM ^
isnt it kind of..dangerous to have these kids phone numbers and addresses out there for anyone to see?
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM ^
use the craigslist system of having an anonymous email posted that is forwarded to the recruit. Therefore, the recruit has control over who to respond to (e.g. can respond to coaches, but not crazy stalker fans).
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:43 AM ^
Edit: Ignore this.
