Conferences make a difference!
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2005 3:15 pmJust found this article interesting when trying to compare C-USA offers to Big 12 or SEC offers:
From Rivals.com:
After already having a pretty impressive resume of suitors like Memphis, TCU, UTEP, UCF and other mid-level programs, (Erick) Mensik added scholarship offers from both Oklahoma and Arkansas during a 10-minute span Monday that still has him on cloud nine.
"I was like 'oh my God,' I can't believe this," Mensik said. "The first people that called me were teams like Duke, Memphis, UTEP and TCU, you know mainly Conference USA type teams. There is nothing wrong with that at all, and I was real honored to have them looking at me. But all of a sudden the bigger schools called me, and I couldn't believe what was happening.
"I get an offer from a Big 12 school and then 10 minutes later I got a scholarship offer from an SEC school. I still can't believe it."
