Buster Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm with you %100 . Something tells me it was the Sr playerz decision to choose ...and they choose the "tightest, dopest" uni.Posts like these never cease to come off as anything but racist.People who can find racism everywhere are likely the ones who are constantly thinking in terms of skin color. I saw nothing "racist" about his post. I'm more offended by your crying of racism to be an instigator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 What it comes down to is this: every school needs to identify their "point of difference" when recruiting. For teams like OU, Bama, etc. it's winning games, being a part of a storied tradition, playing in big games, etc. For other schools who cannot boast of such things you have to create a reason to come there. Whether that's facilities, uniforms, "friendly" hosts, etc.Thank you I don't get why it's so hard for people to understand this.Uniforms are one of lower points of getting recruits to sign. Here's a rough ranking of key factors in recruiting:Coaching Staff and and their track record of getting players drafted. This also requires the ability to pay top dollar for coaches and assistants. Media Exposure Facilities Alumni/Booster Support and their Connections Other college perks (housing, training table, athlete friendly majors, personal tutors etc.) UniformsWhat everyone seems to forget is that top to bottom phil knight invested a boatload of money to make oregon a top flight program across all areas. The only thing that the duck program lacked was a multi-decade tradition of winning which he has now created from the ground up. On the other hand you have schools like maryland that have the same level of access to cutting edge uniforms but are lacking in all of the other areas which is evident by their inability to win and attract top tier talent.We have this discussion every few years, but I'll say it again as someone who works with recruits. Uniforms don't get any recruit to sign anywhere. What they can do is get a recruit to notice a school they hadn't previously considered enough to take a visit there at which point the coaches, facilities, campus, etc... may be able to sway them to sign there. Having great facilities, etc doesn't mean anything if no one knows you have them. Once Oregon went to crazy uniforms, recruits noticed and started taking visits there. Then, when they saw everything else Oregon had to offer, some of them went there.but also a lot of colleges have similar boosters, college perks, facilities, media exposure, and to a degree can have similar successes, so to some uniforms might be that difference maker for some, I'm not saying it's a good reason to have these uniforms but it is a reasonA lot of the bigger programs have great facilities but NO ONE compares to Oregon. And it's not even close.And what have those larger facilities gotten Oregon? 0 National Championships and 5-5over the past 10 years in bowl games. Not too impressive for those uniforms and larger facilities.There are over 115 teams that don't have a National Championship in football (or more than 5 bowl wins) over the past decade. Oregon is doing better than all of about 5 of those. So are you saying if you aren't going to win a NC, football isn't even worth playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably the top 5 best programs in the last 5 years.Not to mention their new facility is less than a year old so it's effects on recruiting haven't evn fully taken place yet. They're in a better position than powers like Florida and Texas are right now...so they got something going for them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
