Message: [QUOTE="Finwad32, post: 705684, member: 651"] So, I took a couple of our players to a college today that they have interest in attending. A smaller school, but as a litmus test I asked them what are the most important things to them. Three things before the conversation changed direction. In order: 1) what they're going to study (mind you they don't anticipate being D-1 so this is very important to them). 2) facilities, they want to go somewhere that looks and feels nice. 3 sportswear apparel affiliation. Literally saying that they wouldn't go to a school unless they wore Nike or UnderArmor. I was literally dumbfounded. I said, are you guys serious? That's something you care about that much? It's even a thought? They said it's not a deal breaker bust most certainly weighs in the decision significantly. These are very intelligent, very hard working, very good athletes. I was absolutely floored that it even matters. [/QUOTE]
