Arizona State football is going to be electric the next few years.
Some choice quotes:

"It's - I'll tell you what now - you're not only recruiting kids, sometimes you're trying to recruit the parent, too," he said. "That's what amazing. You have to stay in contact with these kids."

"I'm calling these kids all the time, making visits," he said. "I'm all over the place, and you're asking an 18-year-old kid to come to your university, and a lot of these kids have no idea why they're going to go to your university. They don't know.

Herm seems like a decent guy, but this will be a hilarious fail.

I don't know if he's decent or not but I'm not fond of his personality. He seems like a fool to me and his short tenure with the Sun Satanists will be a farce. Arizona State doesn't deserve the damage he will do.

Then they shouldn't have hired his agent as their AD.
 
He just needs to parade some of those co eds around with him during his 'visits.'
 
Herm is great. He is merely expressing the obvious - that the entire college football "recruiting system" is a complete and total farce. No one can argue with that.

Farce as in how? If you mean that cheating wins the best recruits, well thats just the rules of the game. When Saban says he has to have a certain kid, he will then look the other way and let The Machine make sure that kid comes to Bama.

You don't understand that "big time" college football and basketball are a total farce? Let's start with maybe 2 recruits on any given year would actually be accepted to a university on their high school academic accomplishments.

I'm confused as to why you even watch sports.

Ah, there are so many farces to the process I wasnt sure to which one you referred. Yes of course, few of these athletes would actually get accepted to their respective universities without the academic exceptions they receive, GT included.
