Message: [QUOTE="qdawgg, post: 527819, member: 52"] I'm very happy with the NYC kids we have and I love the swagger they are bringing with them. I'm in no way saying we shouldn't recruit them, I think at this point we don't need to devote a huge amount of time down there. Like Shafer said, we spent 2.5 years building a relationship with a kid downstate and Tenn pops up out of nowhere 10 days before signing day and boom he is gone. I realize this can happen anywhere and with any program but the last 3 years it's happening with most of the highly recruited downstate players. If the coaches are unable to help us sign them, then what is the point of devoting time, money, and other resources down there? We'll be able to sign the same types of kids from downstate that we already are with a lot less effort, IMO. [/QUOTE]
