Today, we have our new recruit coming in to play against our returning players. He is a post player so we wanted to make sure we had our seasoned big men there to compete against him. We decided we were not going to have any lifting today and solely focus on letting the kids play to determine if this young man is worthy of a scholarship. Throughout the night, he impressed every one of us on the coaching staff. He is not the most skilled kid out there, but he is one of the hardest working. These are the intangibles that you look for in a young man and it was up to par with everything his coaches described.
After open gym, we had our new recruit fill out the basic paperwork so we could continue to call him. In addition, we needed for him to send in the administrative paperwork so we could be in a position to offer him. After a long talk between coaches, we decided to offer him a scholarship. We typed up his LOI and sent this to his email for him to review. We will see what he decides in the next couple of days, but all the coaches have a great feeling about signing him.
