Posted by Hi Benji,
My third attempt–I’ve never had success with blogspot logins. Anyway, so sorry to see you go. Darn, I wish it wasn’t so final–maybe let others handle the day-to-day and maybe on occasion you’ll have a change of heart?
I began following these sorts of things under the (failed) RR optimism. I’ve always liked your positive, enthusiastic approach. And no doubt you’ve become knowledgeable and a real expert; that has been fun to watch.
Yes I suppose there is a ridiculous side to following recruiting so closely. As a reader and not a participant I’d say this is fun to watch. Personally the Diamond thing was an eye-opener: these kids who string it along and pretty blatantly want something. I mean, you’d think a few visits should tell you about the place, coaches, team, etc. Successful coaches kissing the rears of POTENTIAL 17 year-old players is pretty absurd. But again, as entertainment…
Thanks for all of it, and I hope you’re not gone for good!
