Steve's Match Notes for the Princeton dual are out; it's Senior Night and the only one from that group who'll be back is Hines. Still don't know why I thought that, though.
Beard does have another year and there's been a lot of speculation about whether he will use it. For what it's worth, it seems like a good sign that he is not being honored for senior night.
This is spot on. Seems wasn’t that long ago that many posters were peeing down on Pat from a great height. Here sits the program that is a couple guys from making some real noise at NCAAs. We have just the coach to get them if not the $$ handouts. Fun season.Oracle wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 3:45 pm The trick, if there is one, to landing transfers is relationship. I'm sure Lehigh recruited Michael Beard hard coming out of Malvern Prep. When they lost him to PSU, the smart play was to be supportive and friendly whenever you were around him. Young kids remember that. "Hey I went to Penn State because at the time I thought it was a better option, but I really liked the coaches at Lehigh, their facility and how they treated me." Then when things change, a guy will recall those relationships. Having Crookham knock off a world champ, Stanich being ranked high as a true frosh, Beard being a monster and the high level development of Nathan Taylor -- all things that make the decision to 'reconsider' Lehigh easier. Probably the single greatest advantage Pat can take into the off sesaon is a top 10 NCAA finish and a few high placing AAs. Maybe even a champ or 2.
I'm not sure you "recruit" as much as someone picks you. In most cases I would think we already recruited them once.
