A cookie cake is a nice thought but the decorating looks rushed. Obviously, a recruit isn't gonna say "Yeah, in the end I choose Kansas over USF because the cake was fugly." However, it seems to be Athletics' MO to do things on the cheap and easy. They need to hire a full time event coordinator or someone with experience in the high-end hospitality industry whose only job is to make sure everything is perfect. You give a kid a lopsided cake and spell his name wrong on his nametag or something and he starts to wonder how bad you actually want him and thinks back to how well everything went at his visit to that big time school. I'm probably being dramatic about it, but it's all in the details; these kids are the bread and butter of our athletic department so they need to be treated like royalty, at least until you get them on the practice fields in the fall and break 'em down.

You are being dramatic. A cake is inconsequential in the grand scheme of the recruit's visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Taggart can bring him in and whip him into shape, because I haven't heard great things about his discipline and drive. We need serious help at this position. Wow, your worried about it but the coaching staff isn't. Hmmm which way will I lean???? Maybe a link would be appropriate here? Settle down chief. I also hope the coaching staff knows something we don't... just saying that this guy doesn't have a rep for hard work. You'll have to take my word for what it's worth to you - which is obviously not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever think that there might be a reason he is on his third team in as many years? Anyway... like you, I hope that Taggart can iron out whatever flaws our guys may have.
