There is a ton of discussion, obviously pushed by UNM and echoed by lazy reporters, some with agendas, etc about stuff happening before Freeze took over as HC in late 2011. Lately a lot of the talk is about how there appear to be more items that occurred under HC Freeze than we were lead to believe by UNM and their minions.
But let us not forget or gloss-over the fact that Hugh Freeze was hired by UNM in 2005 as Assistant Athletic Director for Football External Affairs. As such, his responsibilities would have included:
Responsible for all administrative aspects of football recruiting. Oversee football clinics, external public relations, education and development while serving as a mentor to student athletes and prospective student athletes. Support Assistant Athletic Director,
Football Operations with camps, game day management and prospective bowl game planning. Other duties as assigned by Assistant Athletic Director, Football Operations.
Recruiting:
Oversee correspondence with prospective student athletes. Manage the PSA database and video library. Implement and evaluate recruiting visits including itineraries, travel and lodging. Serve as football liaison for faculty on official visits. Serve as liaison with
conference services arranging housing and meals for recruiting visits. Supervise education leadership class for teamwork students.
From 2006 through 2007 Hugh was promoted to Recruiting Coordinator & TE Coach, and is credited with being responsible for nine commitments in the 2008 signing class.
In 2006 David Saunders was brought back for his 2nd of 3 stints at UNM.
UNM folks are trying their damnedest to distance Freeze from the Saunders stuff, and they've been largely successful in keeping any connection out of the media. But anybody with half-a-brain should realize there is simply no way Hugh did not know about what Saunders was doing in 2006.
For that matter, Freeze first came to UNM merely 3 years after Saunders first tour of Ole Miss, undoubtedly the time Saunders first set up his cheating scheme. Anybody really think ole Hugh had no clue what had been established by 2002 under Saunders?
Personally, I think this aspect needs to be exposed more than it appears to have been.
