Message: [QUOTE="AngryOtto, post: 5447939, member: 7633"] I agree Fran has a type of player he likes to recruit. Size and speed. I feel he believes his staff can develop the skills of a player. I also feel Fran will not over pay (nil) for a high school player. If a kid that’s highly rated is demanding too much money and Fran sees another player with similar size and speed but needs more development he will go after that player. That allows him to give more money to the players on the team that are starters. There are exceptions, Russel, because getting a five star would make a splash but have to spend the resources wisely. I think some schools maybe over spending for high school players (Rutgers) that will impact them long term. Especially with the two to three year contracts the B1G are using (Wisconsin is an example) if a player does not meet expectations but the school has committed the money. [/QUOTE]
