I have noticed that Youtube is such a popular site. It allows people to veiw college athletes from small markets and even talented H.S players who are a long way from playing in the NFL.

The Sam McGuffie hurdle video has almost 500,000 veiws and it has allowed the masses to see his off the charts talent. A friend of mine's GF who has almost no interest in football even checked out the video when she heard about how ridiculous it was.

However when I did a search for such talents as Joe Martinek, Ryan Van Rensberg, Kyle Bell, Jared Hawkins, Philip Morelli, J.J Diluigi and Skler Jessen there was no video of them at all. Even Tim Shaw who is a big name from Penn State only had a short video of him as a LB from Penn State and nothing from his record breaking career as a Michigan H.S RB.

I say the next move in our fight is for guys from this site, who have the time to invest, assign themselves a different zone and go to H.S games and film talented white players at the skill positions. Then after they have put together a highlight video to put it on YouTube with a creative title that will get lots of hits.

We would have to make sure the video was high quality. It would be important that none of us would say we are from a site that that promotes white athletes. All of us could start commenting on the videos after they were posted on Youtube. We could make comments about their athletic measurables or how tough the competition is they are playing against.

I really think if we put together a conserted effort that we could have an effect on college recruiting if the potato chip eating masses were able to see our videos of the top white athletes in the country at the skill positions. We would also have to be careful to measure H.S production against athletic ability. I mean there could be a 6'2 white RB in H.S who is a productive power runner who runs a 4.84 40 yard dash, but that realisticly is not going to get it done in college even if he were black. I am from Ontario Canada and am not very technology savvy so I wouldn't be much of a help but I am sure that many of you guys could. Most importantly I think that many of you on this site if you had the time would find it fun which would make doing it easier.

a better way would be to get the highlight tapes from the parents of the kids. most every high school any more records their games on video, so that should be much easier than trying to accumulate your own video library.


i have a background in video editing and photography, and i've actually been considering doing this kind of thing. not only with high school athletes, but college players, boxers, etc.


if i could get my hands on the video, i could take care of the rest.


maybe some of you guys have the ability to do that. i would love to put together a compilation of our boxers wreaking havoc in the ring, or our guys doing their thing on the basketball court or football field.

Yeah that's a good point, most highschool stars probably have footage of themselves from their H.S recording games or a friend. They need to put the footage that recruiters are using on to Youtube for the masses to see it. This lets the secret out so to speak. I am sure that it makes it easier for coaches to break caste and play a white player when he is well known.

It amazes me that more of them aren't putting themselves on Youtube. Youtube really does a lot to debunk the myth of blacks being athletically superior. I saw a video of Stefan Holm hurdling 6 foot hurdles that are higher than him that would amaze anyone. A high quality video of this sort that gets a lot of hits on Youtube of a talented athlete does the speaking for itself. Even people who don't know much about sports are able to see what a special talent McGuffie is by watching his Mix tape video. Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins
