University of Alabama Football Arena, Alabama Southeastern United States.

Outside the large conference room on the second floor, dozens of strangely shaped men with large backpacks were waiting. Jones is one of them, and the "big turnips" around him who are not well managed are his peers, professional scouts.

It's the NCAAF regular season and the playoffs, and varsity football coaches often start selecting high-performing high school players at this time, and those selected can get summer camp invitations or college team offers in the summer.

This is determined by the NCAAF mechanism, in order to prevent coaches from poaching in advance, college football leagues require high school students to have two seasons of experience, so often after the best high school football students have played in their first season, the coaches decide whether to give them a summer camp spot based on their performance, and when most of the regular season in the second season is played, the coaches will issue college offers.

"Mr. Forty-Seven, please come in!"

After a century of waiting, Jones finally got the instructions to let him into the room, which meant that the forty-six peers in front of him had already recommended the best players they had picked.

No way, the University of Alabama football team is almost the strongest in the entire United States, with more money-absorbing ability than a considerable number of professional teams, and is naturally willing to spend money on recruiting players, and scouts are willing to run here to make money.

Jones picked up the large backpack at his feet and entered the "courtroom" with dozens of tapes inside, each of which featured a player's highlight performance in the season, and Jones could be rewarded handsomely as long as he was watched by the coaches.

Because of this stand-in interview, the layout of the large conference room has been specially remodeled, with an extra-long beech table in the center of the room, several large butt monitors placed on one side of the beech table, and more than a dozen team managers, head coaches, senior coaches, and team leaders who are qualified to select players sit on the other side.

With the help of his staff, Jones was able to slip the first tape into the machine and hand the paper to the inquisitors, and he began to introduce the quarterback from Massachusetts.

"This is the ...... at Albert High School"

Each player Jones favorites is often only introduced for a minute or two, sometimes even less, because his previous peers have recommended enough good high school students, and some spots are almost full.

Jones pointed out the good qualities of the high school students on this side of the tape, and the team managers and coaches on the other side were judging from the paper data and tapes whether it was worth spending a few more minutes getting to know the player.

The offensive team members were introduced first based on the importance of the players' positions, but it took Jones only five minutes to introduce the thirteen quarterbacks and running backs, as most of them were dismissed before they even started showing the tape.

"This is Bill Ferrari from Southern New York County, who is a close end and a defensive tackle......"

Jones began to introduce the players after the running back, and this Beal was also the most physical.

This time, the manager and head coach didn't interrupt Jones from playing the tape.

"It was the furthest he had with the ball, shaking off the lineback, the strong guard, and pushing the rangers to make a touchdown."

The tape was played first with the best part of the game, with Jones showing the group Bill Ferrari's only touchdown with the ball.

“Well！ well！ Before the manager could speak, the manager clapped his hands and said yes.

Another tactical coach echoed the team's manager's opinion, "I have the impression that this young man has a lot of discussion about his push to get the next first attack. He's done really well as a simple near end and is especially good at opening the way for his team-mates. ”

The team manager pointed to the data on the paper, "Fast two hundred and thirty pounds, one meter eighty-eight, forty yards and four seconds and nine...... He's pretty physically good, and he can perform a variety of tactics with a nimble running back. ”

The manager didn't speak, but continued to watch the tape until it was finished.

"Why didn't he catch the ball?"

Jones spread his hands, "That's one of his shortcomings, he didn't go through systematic receiving training, and he only trained on ball-handling charges and 20-yard collisions in the gaps this season. ”

The head coach nodded, "I see, this player doesn't have an invitation to summer camp. ”

The team manager on the side disagreed, "Jon, he is obviously very good, his ability to break through the front line is at least the standard of a professional player, you look at the performance of his defensive team tackle, I dare to say that in BCS, there are few corner backs who can stop him." ”

BCS (Bowl Championship Series) is the playoff game of the college league, an American college football game held every season, consisting of four major bowls and the national championship game (can be collectively called the five major bowls), supplemented by more than 30 minor bowls, generally held at the end of the year or the beginning of the second year.

Head coach Jon shook his head, "Super collision is both his strength and his weakness. What you can see with the naked eye is that he's barely able to catch the ball, and I don't expect him to do that well in a spring training session or two and the next season. As the top two legal receivers, the close end is the third most important technical position, and he is too bulky and not very good for running. ”

"That's your quibble!" The team manager did not relent, "You look at him, I feel like a heavy cavalryman, he can tear through any defense, such a person should not be vetoed, I think you just can't use it." ”

Bill Ferrari's physicality and on-the-field performance made him feel that he should be taken in, even if he was to be a bench player, and he couldn't be poached by other college teams.

What the team manager didn't know was that Mr. Ferrari, who was more than 2,000 kilometers away, might not be able to look down on the University of Alabama.

"You're right, I don't use him well. This man is a heavy cavalryman, but we need light cavalry in technical positions and heavy infantry in front positions. This Beal's style of play is too fixed and easy to target, and we, as the number one in the country, should not use such a biased player as a close forward. ”

After analyzing it, head coach Jon began to convince the team manager, "We are number one, number one without dispute. If Ohio State, Stanford or Florida State University were to be ranked 10 in the country, they would probably consider him as the No. 1 near end because of the quality and quality that limits them. But we shouldn't do that......"

"No. 1 in the country!" The team manager muttered a confession that head coach Jon had a point, and he also vetoed Bill's invitation to summer camp.

It was the scout Jones who learned that he should go to the universities mentioned by the manager to recommend Bill Ferrari, and quickly.

PS: Ask for a collection, ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass.
