Moving Forward: Recruiting

I talked with the MSU coaches. They don't know who he is. He's not coming. Complete misunderstanding.

How do you suppose these guys would feel if they read such crap?

If they have more confidence in anonymous sources than in their own talent and their coaches, then they'll never make it anyway. If they're easily motivated, then they'll probably just be motivated by it. I remember a couple years back when I was going to all the practices I could and watching things intensely, and among the many things I posted, positive and negative, was that one of the players had supposedly bulked up, but he didn't look stronger and he wasn't playing stronger, so I suspected it was bad weight. Well, that post pissed the player's dad off something fierce, and the kid didn't produce much that year, but he has since worked his butt off and now he's an awesome player. So either he was motivated by the criticism or he just shrugged it off. That's what I would expect of a player reading crap like that, assuming he has what it takes.

Not that I post that high school kids suck, because as far as I can remember, I don't.
