Always wanted to weigh in on this aspect of apparel deals, but bit my tongue. There were plenty of legit reasons to not like Russell and be waiting on a new deal. But all of the constant "it hurts us in recruiting" made me throw up a little because of the reality of recruiting. This activity...

Only if there was an actual tie in bids would any other considerations...
I caught that too, but he also mentioned that, if anything, some of the other apparel companies actually have acted in a negative manner in his recruitment and bear some responsibility in his slow building recognition. So, it may be one of those things that simply "can't hurt."
