George O'Leary on recruiting

[HoopsDawg]

YOU are the dipshit, dipshit..posing as a dog while bearing other loyalties... go **** yourself to hell **********

Oh my. That drew a true L-O-L.

you do not realize how ghey you sound when you speak; think or leave; that is the choice you have over here

Good Lord, I am amazed that our university awards degrees to individuals like that.

And again, this all sounds good, but the bottom line: we need to recruit better. Our current recruiting is going to keep us more often than not a fair team. Classes like what 2015 are shaping up to be are necessary to take a next step.

I completely agree that we need to recruit better, but we won't get desired effect of recruiting better unless we get kids to come here for the right reasons.

We get kids to come here for "football reasons" by continuing to do what we are doing. Winning and putting players in the NFL.

There aren't any shortcuts to acquiring better talent and actually winning more games because of it. Recruiting through social or financial means will usually net you players that either own you or care more about social things than football. My guess is that if you look at many of OM's best players, they went there for football reasons and not social or financial reasons.

Our current 2015 commits have committed to us because of our Fooball program and it's success. Not because of money or girls.

Good point, Shotgun, and very telling. Also, good find on that article.
