Fantastic article on signing day for fcs vs. fbs. as someone who worked at the FCS level for 3 schools over 7 years, this is why I enjoyed it so much. obviously there are exceptions to the rules but the examples given in the article are pretty spot on with the majority of recruiting out there.
"...FCS recruits have been delightful to work with and report the news of. These guys aren't jaded--they are hungry. Many of them committed to the school that offered them their only scholarship. None of them have 50 or 60 offers like the five-star guys. Most of them have only 2 or 3 hard-earned options, mostly at the FCS level. They'll be playing in front of 8,000 or 18,000 fans, not 80,000 fans. But how many of us have played anything in front of even 1,800 fans, much less 18,000? These guys are the perfect mixture of D-I level talent while still being grounded in reality. And make no mistake, they aren't 5-foot-nothing and 100-and nothing like in the movie Rudy. These guys can play some football."
