Message: [QUOTE="Xanadu, post: 4827835, member: 4884"] I get your point but it is not exactly the same. This mostly surrounds recruiting access and mentorship of current players and access to private coaching sessions in the offseason. Football is all about networking and access outside the core of your program. I think you’re using an isolated anecdote shared on this board to say there are “low character” people reaching out. That’s just not true in the aggregate. Many of these alums are highly respected. And I mean I haven’t seen players trash the program until recently as all these frustrations are boiling over. Dino had to get dragged into NJ by JW after a lot of external pressure. Many of our best recruits are now coming from there. In no way am I saying outsiders should have a say on how the program should be run. But you need a strong alum base, especially when willing to help, to have any amount of success. Bottom line, Dino has done a poor job here. [/QUOTE]
