I've talked to several club coaches and hs coaches and they have informed rice about these kids. hs coaches know that having a connection with a school impacts a kid going to a school or not, so they use that when talking to schools.

there really is no excuse for kids that are living in houston and surrounding areas. i get kids that live out of state, i mean it would hard to know about that easily. these kids are right here in houston, have had multiple articles written about them and are easily known.

wrap your head around this....tre mccalla has the FASTEST time in the nation(as a soph tre won JO's in the 100).....DJ bradley is top 6 in the state and the #1 soph in the 300H(i think 2-3wks in a row he was in tight race with Mccray from george ranch who has the fastest time in the nation)....there is NO WAY you are a collegiate track coach and you don't know these kids names, i know for a fact that milesplit has had videos of mccalla, bradley, and mcmillan(in the 4x100) and Jhase mcmillan has an interview after jumping 21'+ as a freshman. there is no excuse. if it were me, i saw those times i'm calling the coach about them, in that conversation it will come out that their parents are alumni...case closed i'm on that kid.

my question is mostly rhetorical....rice doesn't have a history of going after alumni kids, which i just don't get. you look at other schools and you see a history of them trying to get alumni kids....then there's us.

Grrrrrrrr!!! Good Lord, is Leebron in charge of recruiting?
