the verbals obtained so far generate good positive buzz, even if the scum of the world pry these guys away from us somehow.

: Keep in mind, a verbal commitment does not
: stop coaches from other "scorned"
: programs from upping the pressure. This is
: a time when a lot of the "under the
: table" incentives are presented and
: often sway young athletes away from their
: first choice. Friends and assorted
: "jock sniffers" use this time to
: shop for better deals and pad their own
: pockets. We have to hope that the kids we
: got verbals from, along with their parents,
: are ethical people who do not get
: "buyer's remorse."

: Until there is a signed LOI, there is no
: such thing as tampering. I like our chances
: and appreciate the hard work being done by

: Monson has alreadys aid he'll make room if

: schollie player. However a lot can happen
: between now and then, injuries, redshirts

: I was thinking Burton in the spring as well.
: He said he was going to wait and hopefully

: It sounds like the staff went after Shephard
: hard so he must be a good one. Congrats to
: the entire staff. It will be really nice if
: the program can sign Burton in the spring
: because he is also a real player.
:
: If the program can continue to schedule
: great road games and really overhaul the
: home schedule with some quality opponents I
: believe the talent is their to get the
: community excited and attracted some real
: national attention. Good times are ahead.
