Recruiting - just once

[cruzer]

Something that I find somewhat humorous about the recruiting process. After a big weekend with recruits, the recruitniks always do a debrief to ask the recruit how it went. Predictably, the answers are always the same..."it was great", "I loved it", "I connected with the coaches".....etc. Just once, I'd like to read that a recruit spent the weekend at University X (not Pitt of course) and their comments were something like; "I really didn't like it", "the place was a sh+* hole", "coaches were all di&# heads".... Would make for an interesting and entertaining read.

Dorian Johnson had to be carried out of PCaf by four other football players on his official; I saw it with my own eyes.

Ironically Shai McKenzie was less than complimentary of his unofficial visit to Virginia Tech, but nonetheless ended up there. I recall it happening mid-summer and the campus was void of activity which he commented on along with a couple of other things that weren't impressive to him.

Overall though, the worst you normally will get is, "it was alright".

you don't defecate where perhaps you might one day partake.

All the grade schools and kindergartens were off, so he wasn't able to scope out the "chicks"!
