Must get recruit for us. Hopefully we can close him.
He has no relationship with RU other than an alum whose son trains occasionally at RU at times. Rod comes to RU matches sometimes with Shayne when he is free.
He is being polite to his old man. You don’t go to the Blairs of the world to turn down Princeton and Cornell. I would be shocked if he went anywhere else. This is another case of “almost”.
How do you know it is not the other way around?
Bill we’ve both seen enough sunrises and sunsets to know how things play out most of the time.
My point was sometimes the kid decides and sometimes the parents point the kid in the direction they want him to decide. Shayne can’t go wrong wherever he decides with that list
We don’t often get a Blair kid and it seems like when we do, they end up as an also-ran. Need a Blair kid to come here and have success in order to build some sort of pipeline. We have the two best HS programs in the nation in state. Opportunities are there for RU to become an elite program.
Rod made a tough choice in sending his kid to Blair and he did it to have these college and real-world opportunities. He did not go to Somerville even though his whole family went there and Rod coached there. Cornell showed a lot of love very early in the process and Princeton is on the rise and will be tough to beat....as much as I want him to commit to Ru.....
Shayne won his first matches back from injury in a quad 16-5 and a tech fall
Would love to get him, but I’ll be shocked if we do.
