I'm really curious w/ regard to what happened to cause the staff to seemingly cool on Vlad. On the one hand, it is true that Vlad essentially got squeezed. But on the other hand, here's a kid that is offered early, is reportedly high on OSU, is planning a second visit before the summer is up, and wants to decide prior to his football season. THEN offers go out to Brown and McDougald. In other words, it isn't as if all three held offers at the same time, and Brown and McDouglad simply beat him to the punch. It almost feels to me like the staff reevaluated the three and decided, at best, the difference between them was negligible, and perhaps even saw more in Brown and McDougald. It is a bit frustrating to me because I'd like to see us really expand our presence in South Florida (the talent pool there is just disgusting), and here was an intelligent kid that seemed physically gifted and high on us. If we can't hold off on other offers until July/August to give these Florida kids time to come up and make sure, it'll be tough to land them. On the other hand, I also understand the need to keep ties strong in Ohio, and it appears we're trying to establish a mini-pipeline into Monroeville, which is a pretty darn good idea. It's a real tightrope the staff walks, but I'm glad they at least have cause to deal with this problem. I wish Vlad all the best and am somewhat disappointed, but also happy about the impressive talent we landed.
