Message: [QUOTE="CuseIsInTheHouse, post: 1348318, member: 1471"] I love how you left out these two quotes from that [URL='http://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/9523357/college-football-recruiting-uniforms-selling-point-schools']ESPN article[/URL]: [I]"It wasn't a factor at all, but if there is a sick uniform you can sort of visualize yourself in it," Georgia tight end commitment [URL='http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/164098/jeb-blazevich']Jeb Blazevich[/URL], the nation's No. 94 player from Charlotte (N.C.) Christian School. "You know, 'That'd be awesome.' But then you have to think, are you going to sleep in your uniform? Are you going to practice in your uniform? Or are you going to go to go to class in your uniform? "It doesn't matter what color or number that you have on. At the end of the day when you're running down the field, all you really care about is how well you do in the game. If you're a recruit and you're thinking about picking a school because it has cool uniforms -- grow up and check your swag at the door. You're making a lifelong decision. Why are you putting it into clothes?" The nation's No. 1 prospect, running back [URL='http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/168066/leonard-fournette']Leonard Fournette[/URL] of New Orleans (La.) St. Augustine, agreed that uniforms pale in comparison to factors like future major, playing time and relationships with coaches. "All of these things go way beyond uniforms," Fournette said. So is the importance of uniforms in the recruiting process overblown? "Yes and no," River Ridge (La.) John Curtis Christian receiver [URL='http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/169207/malachi-dupre']Malachi Dupre[/URL], the nation's No. 26 overall player. "It is and it isn't a big deal and a part of recruiting. I don't think many recruits will say that uniforms are more important than being with a good coach or getting a great education. If that's the case, then I don't know what they're thinking about. They probably don't have the right mindset. But I know recruits definitely want to look sweet."[/I] [/QUOTE]
