In reply to: A counter view on recruiting…well, not that counter  posted by BabaGhanouj

..when I reread your e-mail and mine. However, the one new(er) thought I've added to this was in my initial reply, which is the recent surge in transfer signings means that the extensive work that Niele and Mike have done could have payback, either immediate or down the road. So, doing exhaustive searches and courtships on a few(er) tried and true prospects is perhaps not as high-risk, high-reward as in the past. You can second dibs!

Listen, it would be great to have an occasional picture or entry on Niele, Mike or Coach O visiting a prospect, but we collectively are doing fine piecing it together.

As for "trusting" coaches, heck, that's almost a given unless specifically calling something out and that's generally not in recruiting.

However, when asked for prospects, I'd like to see, well....I'll jump on that platform :-)



Amen to past recruiting work paying dividends in the portal! *

Kind of Akin to Dusting off the Old Word File, Right?

Niele has always sets her sights pretty high and ND pretty much demands it from an academic standpoint so the pool is pretty tight to start with. So, it's (somewhat) gratifying to know one can get a second crack. (Just hope it doesn't happen the other way too often!).

I'm eager to see how Kylee Watson does here and very intrigued by Jenna Brown. As you and I have posited, dividends could break out here (knock on wood).

Stay tuned.
