Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1968877, member: 40"] Both of these are good posts. Unfortunately, there is no foolproof / one size fits all solution for how to approach recruiting. There have been times where we've taken the first come first serve approach, and it hasn't worked out; there have been times when we've held out for our top choice, and it hasn't worked out. And there have been numerous times where things HAVE worked out. The only fault I have with the approach our coaches took was that they allowed it to string out this long. They should have had a deadline / ultimatum / cut off point of September AT THE LATEST, which would have enabled them to get onto other prospects [Coleman, Washington, etc.] if Green balked. But in terms of their approach--they showed this kid all the love, they told him that he was their guy, and they stopped recruiting others to prove it. And in fact, they secured a commitment last week... before Green reneged. [/QUOTE]
