So, today, we took a look at the commitment of Deommodore Lenoir - the eighth known commit in the last 5 weeks is the biggest 'fish' yet in the suddenly resurgent recruiting. I talked a little bit more about the manner in which the synergistic relation of this staff is starting to pay some dividends.
I also took a look at another very important topic. We write about football - recruiting specifically - but that does not negate that football is a diversion. Real life is happening all around us and the story of Brenda Tracy going to Lincoln and meeting Mike Riley, face-to-face; speaking with his football team; it is a powerful story which needs to be re-visited.
I had some brief correspondence with Brenda for this piece and she is very supportive of the article and thankful. She said that a lot of 'small impacts' can create a bigger impact. There have been some fabulous stories, most recently a story in the Washington Post detailed her trip to Lincoln well. I cannot hope to have a voice as strong or broad as the Post, but as a writer, I feel compelled by duty to do my part.
We only have a short burst of light with which to work in this thing we call life, and it is in that burst which i look to make my mark.
I hope you all enjoy. This is 'Premium' Content, for the recruiting aspects, but, please, share the part about Brenda; talk with others about the topic. People may disagree with my take, but talking about it creates the education Ms. Tracy says is 'paramount.'
Thank you all for your time.
