Re: 2009 Recruiting Class
Here's my take. An SDSU coach, whose future employment is staked on the decisions of 18 year olds, spends an incredible amount "making friends" with a prospective athlete. Calls, letters and driving hundreds of miles, sometimes through awful conditions, to get that youngster to consider coming this way. During the course of the courtship, the young person leads the coach to believe they will be a Jackrabbit. All the hard work is paying off. There is joy. Then, at the last minute a white knight shows up and everything changes overnight.
Everyone applauds the youngster for living out his dream. In the meantime, the pursuing coach is devastated. Alumni and bloggers complain for letting a gifted athlete get away. Not able to respond, the coach endures restless nights suffering in silence.
And the band plays on.

I would have loved to have Matt as a Jackrabbit, but you can't blame him for the decision he made or the Huskers for pursuing him. I would hope all of our recruits visit every school they may want to and then do what is best for them. If we keep playing the way we have the last 4 or 5 years, we wil be on the receiving end in those situatons!!

Originally posted by Jack4Life View PostLooks like Stig is getting some quality athletes even though our scholarship numbers for this year are limited. Glad to hear Weiss has committed and hopefully this will help with the SF recruiting. Also, hope the coaches spend the night before letter day with Eric Koehlmoss from Pierce so our red a-hole buddies from the south of us don't pull another last minute deal like they did with Matt Holt last year.
