Recruits and their Opinions?

Can't help but wonder what the large number of recruits and their families reactions were to their whole BG experience on Sat. They were greeted well by the current student section...many smiled and waved back as they were coming to their seats...but the flying cushions etc. HAD to have hit some of them or their families. Don't recall seeing or hearing about any new commits as a result of these visits on the recruiting sites.

If you're a HS kid looking for a place to play, and you saw this game, would you possibly change your mind about BG...or would it strenghten your desire to come here? Any opinions?

You know...I'm not sure I want a kid who would be scared of a seat cushion to play here....seems a touch on the "Nancy' side.

Flip,
That wasn't my point...I was more thinking about the effect that stupid stuff MIGHT have on a kid's family. They were all seated together....we've always said BG is "Family"....not sure this sent the best message. How many of our player's families have told us that the main reason their kid CAME to BG was because of the "family" atmosphere etc.?

Huge, huge number of recruits/commits on hand Saturday and their overall experience- other than the final score- would have been wonderful. When you combine our facilities, our recent overall results, our coaching staff, our schedule/TV, our academics/academic support, and our graduation rates with the kind of incredible pregame/game atmosphere of Saturday night, you win big time with recruits.

Now we need folks back for EMU after this long and very arduous road trip.

Go Falcons!
