Its quite possible that we wouldn't have won this recruit under any circumstance. I just hope our coaches went above and beyond like some programs are doing for this kid.

Facilities are one component into making a college decision and frankly if you look at Pogo that is low on his list. BTW if we are talking Stanford, you dont go to Stanford primarily for the football facilities lol. I will give you Clemson or Oregon for the facilities. Pogo loves the academics there but also at the Ivy's and also Syracuse

He is a great great kid focused on academics who will ALSO play football. True student athlete. Thats why its not far fetched for him to go Ivy league. My greater point is we just aren't winning the recruiting battles we need like this one year in and year out. I have said this with every HCDB recruiting class. Now we are fielding primarily HCDB players as HCSS recruits have mostly cycled out. What we are seeing from these kids week in and week out is alarming particulary on the O-line. Pogo would be a nice anchor on our O-line starting for 4 years.  Perhaps more importantly he would be a talent infusion that we desperately need. Wish we could win this recruiting battle
