[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 1005558, member: 265"] What I like about this is the "we brought the right kids in" stuff. I was a good friend of one of our chief admission officers at my college. I asked him what the most important thing about college admissions was. He answered at once,"Don't recruit problems." That's it in a nutshell. If you want to succeed you have to avoid recruiting problems and it doesn't matter in what field of endeavor you're in. If the base of the team is with you and starting to run like a well oiled machine (something that can be undermined by losing, of course), you can depend on practice working to improve performance. You are also in a situation where you can take a chance on an athlete who doesn't quite fit the profile but has great talent. I'm sure Coach is aiming at just that kind of a team and it takes someone with experience like Weinke's to see it in it's infancy. Hope he's right, btw, and that our record this coming season allows the team to really settle in. Then, sports fans, we might see something [I]really[/I] special. [/QUOTE]
