We love college football because you recruit HS kids and watch them develop into upperclassmen.  It's now basically an NFL off season but at hyperspeed.  The draft is equivalent to recruiting.  Signing expensive free agents is the same as chasing known P4 guys that you have to pay up for.  ...and then you have the same back of the roster churn with undrafted free agents versus signing small school guys and former four stars that haven't had the production.

Like everything we tend to overvalue our players versus outsiders.  We project Yasim Willis into a bruising 100+ yards per game beast but there are a ton of RBs out there and we'll be fine.  Johntay and Emmanuel Ross were great athletes but the Penn State kid and the Miami of OH kid will probably pass them in production.  I can't imagine college coaches having to deal with completely remaking their rosters over a two week period every year.  I don't know what Fran & Co will do with the players but Syracuse would be in trouble if they didn't have a recruiter like him at the helm.
