Recruiting relationships

Um, please turn your attention to Exhibit A, five-star receiver Stefon Diggs, who signed Friday with Maryland after apparently eliminating the hometown Terps a matter of two months earlier.
Locksley’s stint as New Mexico’s coach dubiously shaped his public perception. But it’s hardly affected his recruiting proficiency – especially when placed in the cozy confines of his native stomping grounds, which is likewise the Terps’ back yard.
He relates to the local players and coaches and has a lengthy track record of securing Washington D.C. prospects, proof of the support those coaches give in return.
The stakes just got raised for programs like Penn State, Virginia, Virginia Tech and West Virginia that routinely mine the Washington D.C. area.

Spot on!
Just about everything you want to accomplish in life is going to be about relationships. The ability to work with people is the key to success. Never more true than in football and in recruiting. So glad to have Locks back home as a Terp. The best part is in spirit I don’t think he ever left. Go Terps!

One of those guys is about to graduate and, in his words, will become “a proud alumnus of this institution.”
The other burned his diploma.
FWIW
He was joking about burning his diploma

A really bad, bad joke...
…the joke is on him. He will never coach again.
Children should be seen and not heard.

ESPN insider article (Dave Hooker) about the Terps late recruiting push, highlighting Reid, Brown, Diggs, and Locksley. Damn I’m pumped!
Just think who he can bring in next year
Now that he will be here for over a year to renew all his acquaintances
