On the problems with recruiting and entitlement:

    "I think that's one of the things that is wrong with recruiting out of high school," said McCarron. "You have guys who have never played the game of football rating these guys that they are a 5-star, because they're sitting behind a computer screen watching their highlight film. Well, their highlight film is supposed to be good, the last time I checked. That's the kind of thing that ticks me off about recruiting and when these kids come in and they're 5-stars and they expect to play right off the bat. It's a little entitlement and when they don't play off the bat, they get a little ticked off and they don't want to work."

Children being children.   :-X

You are actually right. These are teenagers and they don't have the maturity or patience to work hard and wait their turn. It's called the "I'm gonna take my ball and go home" syndrome.   :lol2:

I have a feeling that this spring will separate the men from the children.
