Honestly most recruits (particularly the one-and-dones) look at everything about a program, unfortunately beginning with what conference they are in. THEN they actually look at the program itself -- the coaching staff (and how likely that coaching staff will be there for their entire playing career), how much playing time is available, what players are surrounding them, and lastly, how hard they have to work. If you were 18, had a chance to play for a P5 team with an established coach that there is little chance they would leave, had an abundance of playing time available, had great talent all around you, AND could sit on your laurels and relax instead of giving 120%, would you choose a non-P5 conference team with a question mark about the coaching staff (no matter how much Marshall denies it), the playing time to be split up among one or two others, albeit having great talent around them, and you had to work your tail off? Face it, most kids are lazy or else they have an exaggerated sense of their own talents and don't think they have to work at all. Those are the kids we DON'T want.

Originally posted by ShauXTyme View PostI agree with Wufan - how do you think they became 5*s? Kids who work that hard to get to that point usually - not always - have a good work ethic and continue that.
I'll give you some more examples of the fine line between "hard work" and "hunger to be good".
FVV and Ron are hungry (they have talent too but it goes farther than that for them). Selby, Selden, Alexander, and even Little Wiggans are very talented and work hard, but they aren't hungry. Just my opinion.

He will have to learn to play defense and practice like we do.

By all accounts a good kid. Not overly explosive but not a bad athlete either.
I just don't know if the staff thinks he is a ready to play guy like we will need in 2018 but nothing would surprise me
