Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 848181, member: 702"] Sounds like a great, well-rounded kid. It's funny, though, that I worry about these kinds of recruits and their future in the program as much as I do the academically marginal kids. With the weaker students, you don't doubt their commitment to football. And sometimes that's because they think it's the only thing they've got going for them. But if you manage to get them in school, you always worry about them staying in school. With the smart kids, you worry about whether they're going to finally wise up and give up on the game because they believe that they've got a brighter, less physically demanding future elsewhere. We've seen that recently with Mungwa and Ford. I never know how to feel about kids like that. At one level you're disappointed to lose them but on the other hand you want to applaud their long-term thinking. [/QUOTE]
