Way to go young ladies. I'm sure Pat is proud. Outstanding!

How well I want my point guard to shoot from long-range depends on whether there's anyone else on the team that can consistently hit an outside shot. Unfortunately there has been no one for the LVS the last few years. So at this point I don't care where it comes from we need a consistent...

Oh no doubt. Evil laughs while twirling his mustache. This is the guy who calls his own far end of the bench players the Slugs.

To discuss players, their stats and their potential impact on the upcoming season on a fan message board? Yeah, totally nuts man. Who does that? I'm surprised to see so much statistical Improvement from Evinas frosh to sophomore year. Didn't seem that different on court to me, still crazy...

This thread made me think of another question I have, and I think its related; if off topic I apologize in advance. Some of the contact we're talking about with recruits and parents is apparently to offer up private coaching services. What is the rule about accepting outside coaching or...

Not personal. Never personal. That's the difference in us as posters.

You're winners. And we're jealous. And sadly living on past glories.

Because the one side so easily and often turns into the other. Can't believe this is news to anyone, but when adult men contact young women they don't know for any purpose they are on very shaky ground. Makes it tough to legitimately market oneself to that clientele I know, but that's the way it...

Exactly. Great post. Good point. The anonymity of the internet. Unfortunately, there are those that can fathom and do have the gumption. I believe they are far, far more a hindrance than a help to recruiting.

Yes, exactly. To go beyond a generic "love to have you!" is selfish and silly. We often hear "give KJH a chance." Well here's your chance to give her one. Do not horn in! Whether you admit it or not, you do represent the U of T in that kids' mind. So don't. You're right, I did have something a...

Just bc you can do something doesn't mean you should. I still haven't seen anyone give an upside. We see fm the Texas A&M site it's a potential rules violation, and that the actual professional recruiters much prefer others not "help" them with their carefully planned communication. We see from...

Not personal. Ever. Applies to anyone who insinuates themselves into the recruiting process. He just likes to tell us when he does it.

I'm a CEO working on delicate negotiation with an important client. I've worked the relationship carefully, I know exactly how this client likes to be communicated with. Then all the sudden the guy fm the mail room pipes up with his 2¢ worth? A thousand times NO. There's no possible upside that...

No need. Not personal. About recruiting, and this players particularly.

I hope it doesn't get cut. I'm honestly curious and obviously out of date. What are the benefits of fans communicating actively with recruits and families as opposed to the obvious risks? I think it's a worthwhile discussion
