The first thing Dino talked about at the recruiting briefing was the issue of taking no recruits from NYS or NJ.  He said when the staff was at BG, they didn't recruit NY and they had little or no knowledge or interaction with kids from these areas.

He said you can't jump in at the last minute and expect to take a 4 or 5 star kid you have no history with and he said when it comes to 3 star recruits, he and his staff were really uncomfortable taking kids that they were not familiar with.  He said with 3 star recruits, the key to a good evaluation is seeing them a number of times, seeing how they react to coaching and adversity in camps, seeing how they improve over time, getting a feel for their character and work ethic, etc.

He promised things will be different with the class of 2017.  He implored the audience to not rush to judgement, to keep an open mind.  He knows this is a big deal with a lot of people.

I am going to take his advice and keep an open mind.  I hope he keeps an open mind too, regarding this topic!
