Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3165771, member: 40"] I'm guessing that when bnoro is asking what else the coaches could have done, that he has knowledge of what happened behind the scenes. The coaching staff identified this kid early, before his offer list exploded, and made a big impression on him and his family selling him on the program. He came on a visit the same weekend as Ilaoa [I believe], who committed that weekend -- and Pogo almost did as well, and the coaching staff was optimistic that we had a good shot. Then, our season got off to a poor start, and the kid's offer list quadrupled. If we hadn't tapered off -- who knows? Maybe we're still in play in the family's mind. But the notion that our staff didn't pull out the stops isn't a valid criticism / concern. Sometimes kids just blow up. [/QUOTE]
