of course a kid's character matters & of course our staff cares about who they can trust to actually follow through on their word on signing day. pete echo's our staff's feelings & beliefs, and how many signing days in a row now have we been left empty handed on "locks" , "silents" , & "he comin's" ?
we're wasting our time & resources on this kid.
If Harley commits tomorrow, they will still heavily recruit Pouncey, Smith and Thomas. Please explain how Harley can mess up our recruiting plans.
The only people who should care about getting ****ed around by Harley are the coaches. And they don't give a ****. They want talent and they don't catch feelings over a 17-year-old's tweets.
this is beyond pedantic, but ok...
any time and resources spent recruiting harley are time and resources that can be spent elsewhere. any slot on our board that harley holds only to not take on signing day, is a slot that couldve gone to another kid.
you're arguing that it won't take any time or resources away from recruiting pouncey, thomas, and smith, therefore it doesnt matter. im arguing that our staff is better off going after another option in place of harley and on top of those 3, because time and time again we've watched our best laid plans fall apart on signing day. so in this case, that assumes that ONLY going after pouncey, smith, & thomas will probably not be enough. you believe it will enough.
signing day's fast approaching. i hope you're right.
