First: "What was your favorite part of the recruiting process? 'The official visits. I feel everybody should try to go on a lot of official visits to schools before you commit so you can really get to know the coaches and the team. The whole process is just crazy; you're really blessed to go through that if you get a chance.' "
Think that gives some insight into how a lot of recruits look at the process. They feel they have a unique opportunity to get to go and see places they maybe never will again. And they get to do it for free. So some recruits will decide to do take advantage of that and take every OV they can. Hard to blame them.
Second: "What are the biggest things you need to work on at Pitt? 'I feel like my game's pretty good right now. Coach Harley wants me to be around 215 this year, but I think I can gain even more weight. When you get on the college meal plan, I think I can gain that pretty easy and put on good weight this summer.' "
Think that sometimes this is an overlooked aspect when it comes to a recruit's developmental potential. For various reasons, a lot of these young guys maybe don't have the opportunity to always get the right nutrition and to consistently eat the right foods before they get to college and get to eat at a P5 school training table. Good, quality healthy food; and lots of it. With professional nutritionist supervision and guidance from the coaching staff on the right things - and how much of it - to eat.
