I've checked with a few friends of mine, and 15 of 18 Lipscomb starters have been at the school since 5th/6th grade (with most there before that in early Elementary School). If I could figure out who the best players were gonna be at that age, I would have been made a coach a long time ago. And of the 3 that havent been there since then, one came in 7th grade, another in freshman, and the third as a sophomore. Oh, and by the way, the 2 most recent ones I believe are playing tackles on the offensive line at the moment, not exactly a skill position to recruit, unless you recruit guys who are 6-1, 220, and run a mid 5ish 40. If Lipscomb's recruiting, their recruiter needs to get a reality check. But anyway, enough rambling, this post belongs on the public/private debate board.
