More on recruiting focus

I still think we should go after good high school recruits when we can, but we need to be very careful about the attitude factor.  Ben Dillard, Courtney Jackson, Co Willis, Richard Hardman: all of these have been solid contributors who have stayed the full term (assuming Ben does). When you get a high school kid with a chip on his shoulder, he may be a good player, but he is going to want to be treated like a star from day one, and usually that just does not work out. If the attitude factor is not there, I had rather have a juco, who already has been through the fire.
