Not sure why but this gave me flashbacks to the Groce days and even the early BU days when we'd eat this content up, analyze his facial expression, hit refresh through the duration of his OV hoping for word that he's committed or that he's canceling his other visits, and put the entire future of the program on the decision of a 17 year old kid and his parents.
Now I see this and I'm just like, "neat".
A couple points. First, I'm ho hum about all recruiting right now. With the portal, it's just really hard to get excited. Fears really took the excitement out of the whole process.
But your Groce comment got me motivated to finally do a bit of documentation on the Fall 2014 (We Have Our Point Guard!). So here are the lowlights!
