Just read the posts Truth and Sarge wrote last night about my comment that this run could possibly hurt Fisher's recruiting.  Both make good points about how winning attracts good players.  It has worked at IC for years. 

My basic point was more directed at the approach the coaches need to take as oppossed to the appeal of the program generally.  I think it is tricky to recruit players to a program already full of talent because recruits want to play. (I am not so sure I agree with Sarge and Truth that good players are realistic about their ability to immediately contribute at the collegiate level.  I think most are unrealistic given the amount of high school success neccessary to play in college.  Besides, how many 18 year olds are realistic?).

I think Vosburgh recruited (and landed) many of you guys.  What is his approach? 

Do you want to know whether or not success hurts recruiting?  The answer is spelled M-o-u-n-t  U-n-i-o-n.

You took all that time to click the "quote' button above my post, you think you would have spent some of it actually reading what I wrote.  How do the letters that spell Mount Union have anything to do with a new recruiting environment for Fisher's coach?

The POINT Jose is that if success made recruiting more difficult Mount Union would not be where they are.  Players don't come to Mount expecting to play their first year.  They come expecting to play for a great coach, a great program, and a chance at a national championship.  They know when they come they may sit on the bench for three years, but still they come.

Did you know that in the OAC coaches cannot recruit off campus?  The only way a coach can meet with a recruit is if the recruit comes to visit.

It is a different environment for your coach.  It's an environment of success and if he can convey to his recruits that that success will continue and that they will be better men because of their play for SJF and the education they will receive, he will not have trouble recruiting them.

It has taken Mount Union and LK twenty two years to get where they are, each year building on the past years success, each year drawing more and more talented players willing to pay the price to be the best.

If you can't see in that the answer to your recruiting question then you are as blind as a bat!

So by the law of reciprocity, should I say that rscl's comments are that of a classless winner?

Edit: Obviously I wouldn't do that b/c I'm not that sensitive. People can have opinions without me jumping down their throats.

I comment that they draw from a phenominal talent pool and everyone wants to deny that and make me out to be a sore loser - doesn't add up.

I gave them their due, and still do. They're a great team ... let's not get sucked into reading inbetween the lines when there isn't anything to take from it.

That law doesn't exist in E8PP Nation, sorry

Mount does draw form a great talent pool.  Ohio, Pa.. and more recently Fla.  Your post on the OAC board implied Mount was drawing from D1 players, and that is hardly true.  Most DIII programs, including Mount, benefit on occasion from a D1 transfer, but that is not where recruiting takes place, nor is it the reason for the programs success.  Your post implied otherwise.  If it's not what you meant, fine – but it is the way it was taken.

Talent man, DI talent. AKA: the kids that could go play 3rd string at a DI school but go to MUC to win.

So, who is our E8 President?

Since he is not on the governing board, Jose can be the pres....by the way the votes are going it seems fitting. 

Edit:  I don't think your comments were necessary on the OAC board tags....as not a mount union fan it makes you sound like a sore loser.

Edit2: I don't really care either way though lol

Obviously you do care - you decided to comment on it over there to fuel the fire.

Not too sure why you do such things, doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Because even though you deny it, it is increasingly obvious as to what you were trying to imply. 

Sorry if you can take our opposing opinion to your statement.

You have no idea what I was trying to convey, you just stick your nose in & stir the pot. You have seen me post long enough to know that if I was implying they get transfers I'd come out and say it.

Not stirring the pot, you did that by yourself...like I've said, If I see something I perceive as something I disagree with, I will post something in response.

And what is this sticking your nose in business? This is an open posting board...I am registered therefore I have the right to post wherever and whenever I feel.
