Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 2179352, member: 405"] No, it's not his fault that a kid picked another school. That happens. It's his fault, or the program's fault, for letting Quade string us along and not requiring a commitment from him at least by mid-October, so we would have had an opportunity to get someone else. Chasing away other guys who were interested in us, and then letting our main target delay his decision until AFTER the signing period was over, screwed us. It screwed us getting any of the kids who Quade was trying to get together as a group. It screwed us getting a replacement. The whole timing and lack of deadline is what was totally amateur about how this recruitment was handled. It's a business. Give the kid a deadline before it's too late for you to get anyone else.\ This isn't that hard, people, and we apparently didn't know how to do that. [/QUOTE]
