Re: 2011 recruits
While I can appreciate the concern (and believe me, I would love to see some signings as well), I can't help but wonder if the coaching staff is going to hold on to some of the available scholarships for next year's recruiting class.
If we land the AZ State kid, it would be a huge get at this stage. It seems like a bit of a long shot. I'm not sure why he would want to come here to compete with one of the best recruiting classes ever, seems like that's the kind of situation he was leaving in Arizona.
I think it would behoove all of us to temper our expectations with some perspective. This late in the recruiting process, who exactly do we think we would be getting? A JUCO or high schooler that was passed over by almost every other DI in the country.
I would rather bank the scholarship and get another Heemstra or Dykstra next fall than sign a reach JUCO. I think it would be better for the long-term success of the program. But that's just me.
At this point, we have enough guys to fill all the minutes of each game (if everybody stays healthy). More concerning are practice players who can push the primary players every day there isn't a game.
