Message: [QUOTE="Bambrewer, post: 1061919, member: 4728"] Not sure how I did that but it seemed to have attached weird I think everybody wants to play for a good team so the recruits coming in make a difference in school choice. I think given the chance Shy would help convince recruits to join Syracuse. Shy has been huge the last two years recruiting players to the high school team. After his sophmore year they lost their whole line to senior year turn over. Shy convinced a bunch of kids who had never played before to join the team. Also the team was left with a sub par quarterback group that year. When the team heard a kid at a local private school who was a pretty good qb was unhappy with his team situation...Shy Nick and Thunder went and met with the kid and convinced him to come play at the high school for them. It worked out pretty well for the kid he just got a baseball scholarship playing for Lowell high when he wasnt even on the radar for baseball at his previous school. Shy and Nick are true leaders of this team. they should have been captains last year as the seniors that were put in place didnt do half what those boys did to motivate and get the team ready. Unfortunately the coaches believe only seniors should be captains... I see their point just think the true leaders should be the captains. Shy and I actually had a conversation yesterday about how strange it would be to go to a school where there seems to be groups of kids that know each other coming in...the florida crew seems like they know each other...and the recent Jersey signing seems there maybe a group of friends coming together. I asked Shy if it would bother him to be the odd man out...he didnt seem to concerned and said it doesnt matter where I go unless by some miracle Nick and I get recruited and end up in the same school anywhere I go it will be like that. I will also tell you over the weekend Shy spoke with a lot of college coaches, his high school coach and position coach. We had a long conversation and Shy will not be able to commit at the visit coming up. It s not fair to Shy or anyone else at this point. I will say Syracuse is still Shy's Number 1 choice and he will probably end up there in the end but it wont be this month. We are still looking forward to our visit and camp in a couple weeks. As I have told you all before we are new to this process and trying to figure out everything. I think we got a little ahead of ourselves and need to slow down and make sure this is going to be the right thing for all involved. [/QUOTE]
