| Weather is about fifth on the list of reasons (legitimate ones anyway) that ND MIGHT struggle to recruit some players and CAN'T recruit them at all with a lazy coach or staff:
1) Academic requirements
2) Negative Recruiting
3) Physical Distance from Homes
4) Legitimate Lack of Bimbos on campus looking for a man and not a degree
5) Weather
That's just off the top of my head, but really what does it matter in the end? If a kid does not want to be at ND then all the begging, pleading and cajolling in the world would not help anyway - they would be miserable, under-perform and transfer or flame out anyway.
No, its better to have a class of 22-24 solidly commited guys who WANT that Gold helmet and ND experience. If they don't "get it" then no one can MAKE them get it. To borrow heavily from Yoda - Do or Do Not...there is no try...You either WANT ND or you DO NOT, there is no in-between that would make it worth while to non-motivated types... |
