Son went to a D1 showcase this weekend and the coach gave a talk on recruiting. He told a couple of recruiting stories that I thought were pretty humorous. He told of emails he gets that make it sound like the recruit would do anything to play for his program. Then he notices a couple of dozen coaches' names in the "To:" box, meaning the email is merely a mass mailing. He also gets emails and letters from prospects who say they're dying to become a __________ (fill in the blank: Longhorn, Owl, Red Raider, etc.). The only problem? It's not the proper mascot for the school they're writing to! I don't think we would be foolish enough to do any of the above (especially after reading HSBBW), but perhaps it will provide a little comic relief for the evening!
